As I write this, I am wearing this one myself and honestly do not want to take it off. A farmer has just passed by outside wearing his own, the kind of cap he reaches for every single day without thinking. My grandfather wore one, my uncle still wears one, and across generations here in Ireland it has remained part of everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blasket Islands lie just off the coast of the Dingle Peninsula, and in years gone by the island men who rowed their naomhógs to the mainland for Mass or market were rarely without a cap like this. It was part of who they were ~ practical against the weather, familiar in the hand, and carried through ordinary days and crossings alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI designed this cap with that feeling in mind. Made in a soft wool blend tweed, it carries a subtle shamrock embroidered on the front, with a shamrock detail etched into the buckle at the back. Through the gentle green weave runs the faintest soft pink line, very understated, giving it a softness that makes it suit women and men alike beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is wonderfully comfortable, beautifully made, and full of the kind of quiet Irish character that never dates. For some, it may even call to mind a father, grandfather, uncle, or ancestor who wore one before them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for MyIrelandBox and available in limited numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MyIrelandBoxStore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52688953180488,"sku":"HAT0326","price":39.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/3961\/9377\/files\/FullSizeRender_f3416b68-7f58-4a40-b6be-18df082c6d0d.jpg?v=1773761120","url":"https:\/\/www.myirelandboxstore.com\/products\/the-blasket-islander-tweed-flat-cap","provider":"MyIrelandBoxStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
