Where to buy a proper watch cap/short beanie?

[JoeBlack0]

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone could recommend some cool watch caps. The permanent style one seems like a good option but expensive shipping and customs on top of an already expensive product puts me off (128€+ customs). Is there a similar option? Uniqlo has some cool ones but the quality is lacking (they are made from cotton an acrylic). The problem with a lot of beanies is that they have some kind of seams at the top like the next pic:

But good ones are joined at the top without a seam:

Thanks in advance for chiming in gentlemen

Tilley has done double layered merino that was sewn together with a flat seam. So you wouldn't feel the seam at all.

Harley/Bosie of Scotland does brushed shetland beanies. I'm told they are seamless, but haven't tried. They are about 30-40 GBP plus shipping whereever you are

Last you can also engage hand knitters who sell their services (Etsy?), and you can pick whatever yarn and stitch pattern the knitter is capable of.
