Conor McGregorGold portraitLong knitOne size
The essentials: black long beanie carrying Conor McGregor in profile in gold and bronze, crown on his head, bare-chested with gloves held low. The name CONOR McGREGOR runs vertically down the side. 28 cm / 11 in tall by 26.8 cm / 10.6 in wide. €29, free delivery.
The crown, a piece of ring-walk imagery
The portrait is not a fight photograph: it is the imagery of the walk to the cage. Crown, profile stance, gloves held low - the moments before the first bell rather than the round itself.
That moment has a real function in combat sports. Between the changing room and the cage, the athlete stands several minutes under the lights with his body temperature already up. It is exactly the window in which a fighter keeps a beanie, a robe or a hoodie on: the body is warm, the effort has not started, and anything that limits heat loss delays cooling down.
What is on the beanie
Black ground. On the side, a full-length profile portrait rendered in gold, bronze and grey with a metallic finish: notched crown, full beard, bare chest, dark gloves held along the body. The lettering CONOR small and McGREGOR large runs vertically to the left of the portrait, in gold capitals.
Technical specifications
The tip: the portrait taking the full height of the side, folding a cuff hides its lower part - the gloves and the legs. Worn loose, the design stays whole.

Frequently asked questions
What size should I choose?
One size. This model measures 28 cm / 11 in tall by 26.8 cm / 10.6 in wide flat, with the knit stretching both ways. It should cover the top of the ears without squeezing the temples.
What does the design show?
Conor McGregor in profile, crown on his head, bare-chested with gloves held low, in a gold and bronze finish. His name runs vertically beside the portrait.
What is the difference between a long beanie and a turn-up beanie?
The long beanie, or slouchy, falls on the nape with no cuff and is worn loose: that is the cut of this model. The turn-up knit folds over and lays a double thickness of knit on the ears, for a height of 21.5 cm / 8.5 in once folded.
Does it suit both men and women?
Yes, unisex cut in one size. The long knit is worn loose towards the back, or pulled up on the forehead to clear the ears.
How do you wash a beanie without stretching it?
Hand wash cold, no spin, then dry flat. A beanie hung up or put through a tumble dryer stretches out and loses the hold that keeps it over the ears. Do not iron the print.
