Full size guide →The men's red beanie, from the diver to the Calypso
The red cap became the emblem of Jacques-Yves Cousteau and the crew of the Calypso. It was itself a tribute to the old "heavy-foot" divers, who wore it under their helmet, in their rubber hood, to cushion knocks of the head against the metal. A strictly utilitarian piece thus became a badge of recognition. This men's red beanie, which we call Marvin, keeps its colour and its simple shape.

Cut and sizing
One size: the natural elasticity of the rib fits every head, men and women. Its thinness also makes it a good first layer under a hood.
How to wear a men's red beanie
Calypso style: pulled down, short cuff, over a pea coat or a sailor sweater. As the only spark on a dark wardrobe, where it replaces the coloured scarf. Over a khaki quilted military jacket, as in our photos: brick red and khaki answer each other.
Care
Machine washable at home: hand wash cold, or wool cycle at 30 °C (86 °F) with a wool detergent, separately the first time. Do not rub or wring: press out the water, roll it in a towel, then dry flat, away from a heat source. Store folded, with cedar.
A deep red, more brick than primary
The red we chose is darkened: closer to brick than to primary red. It goes with navy, khaki and ecru without ever shouting, and it is wearable every day where a bright red would stay a costume piece. The wool is dyed on the fibre, before knitting; still, wash it separately the first time, as a precaution.
Patina and durability
In three years, this red will look like it has been around the world.
The red cap became the emblem of Commander Cousteau and the crew of the Calypso. It was a tribute to the "heavy-foot" divers, who wore it under their helmet to cushion knocks. The Marvin takes up this deep red, closer to brick, in wool and angora knitted in Scotland. Here is how it lives.
-
firm material, solid color, clean finishes.
-
the piece softens where it works the most.
-
wear creases mark themselves and return from one wear to the next.
-
follow the composition instructions; excessive heat and tumble dryers are to be avoided.
-
borders and friction zones soften first.
-
the color shades with use, without aging all at once.
-
the piece is made: supple, familiar, always holding.
-
a seam, a button, a snag is mended in the workshop.
-
nearly three years: a well-kept piece gains in character what it loses in newness.
You don't wear a red beanie by chance: you wear a story of the sea and of adventure. This red goes with navy and khaki, and is recognised from afar. It is the beanie of men who have kept a taste for the open sea.
Lambswool and angora, one piece
The beanie is knitted in Scotland on hand-operated frames, in a fully fashioned knit: it comes off in one piece, with no joining seam, does not mark the forehead and does not distort in the wash. Lambswool, at 75%, gives hold; angora, at 25%, lightness and softness, because its hollow fibre traps air without weighing it down. The whole breathes and avoids the clammy feeling after an hour.
