A watch hat is another name for a tuque. When they were first designed, mostly naval personnel wore them. That’s because they stay in place, even in nasty sea winds.

Here’s some history for you. Tuques were first worn by women in the 12th century. They were made with velvet or satin and worn on top of head veils. It took 400 years for men to figure out how great they were. They were a big hit with the guys starting in the 16th century and have never lost their popularity.

Of course, back then they didn’t often wear bright orange watch hats, they were mostly black. But they didn’t face all of the dangers on the worksite that we face today. The color really stands out so you’ll be seen by oncoming traffic.
