Description
Reconstructed from vintage photographs of Donegal fishermen, the Tráda Tam is a compact, sturdy beret with an extra deep brim. And did you know, that the original purpose of the pom-pom was to serve as a bumper? It was meant to protect sailors and fisherman from hitting their heads on the boom, and on the low ceilings of cabins. As is often the case, elements of design that we now think of as purely decorative tend to have practical origins. In a playful and wearable way, the Tráda Tam honours that connection.
