The Guilvinec from Bleu de Chauffe, the history of the seaman’s knit cap

 

From the 18th century, fishermen and seafarers wore these woolen hats, knitted in such a way as to protect them from the penetrating cold, constant humidity, and wind on long ocean voyages. These were unique and essential items, and there were different styles of hat in each region – even in each port!

 

Over time, this simple piece of headgear left the ocean spray to strut its stuff in town. In the 1950s it was worn by artists and dreamers, a symbol of natural simplicity and authenticity. It then became a fashion icon, adopted by those who wanted to blend style and tradition.

 

Our knit cap, the Guilvinec, was born out of this spirit of authenticity. Merging the history of the navigators of old with its unique design, this workwear item features our Cancale sweater’s signature pattern. The Guilvinec knit cap blends tradition, craftsmanship, and modernity.

Merino wool, a quality choice

 

Historically, wool was the material of choice for sailors, as it provides exceptional protection from the cold and keeps the heat in.

We have chosen Merino wool for our Guilvinec hat, for its thermoregulatory properties and its softness on the skin. The fine, light fibers of this wool, between 16.5 and 24 microns, provide optimal comfort without itching. Naturally breathable, merino wool is effective at regulating temperature, keeping you warm in cold weather while letting the humidity evaporate. It can absorb up to 33% of its weight in water and still stay dry to the touch: ideal for marine environments. With its merino wool, the Guilvinet knit cap combines tradition and innovation.

Cap made in France

A knit cap Made in France

 

The Guilvinec knit cap is made with care in the North of France, at Val de Saire in Normandy. Produced at a family-run knitting workshop a stone’s throw from the sea, it is the result of our close collaboration with this workshop, whose exceptional craftsmanship has been handed down through the generations. The workshop has been awarded the title Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV - Living Heritage Company), and is renowned for its expertise in making marine clothing and its commitment to 100% French manufacturing.

This is the same workshop that also makes our Cancale sweater: find out more about their unique savoir-faire with our video on the making of this iconic model.

The men's beanie Guilvinec, the perfect form.

 

This hat is a must-have for the workwear look, a blend of urban style and the seafaring spirit. The Guilvinec beanie is a genuinely versatile accessory: combined with chinos, our Cancale sweater, and the Germinal jacket, it is perfect for a day out in the city.

It can be worn in a variety of ways – with a snug fit and a wide turnup, or with a pointed ‘hobo’ style for an original touch.
