Why Spain?

A watchcap is a shorter hat, traditionally meant to be worn folded above the ears. However, we have updated our to reflect a need to wear it in any way someone prefers. Want to wear it traditionally? Fold it above the ears. Want to wear it like a beanie? Pull it down back behind the ears with a short fold. No fold? We have even put a double-sided label to wear it like a skull with no fold! Please keep in mind these are half-cardigan knits, meant to retain shape and fit tight!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1058\/3278\/files\/history-of-the-watch-cap-more-watch-caps-than-you-can-shake-a-stick-at-image-via-life-magazine_480x480.jpg?v=1699709976\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAn iconic photo of a WW2 British submarine crew on leave.
