A barretina is a traditional Catalan hat that was frequently worn by men, especially in the countryside, until the 19th century. It is a hat in the form of a bag, made of wool, usually red, or sometimes purple. Today, the barretina is no longer commonly worn in everyday life, but is still used in folkloric dances, or as a symbol of Catalan identity. Salvador Dalí re-popularized the barretina in the first half of the 20th century. The Catalan Christmas figure caganer also wears a barretina. Jacint Verdaguer wearing a Barretina Source: feec. ...

(Catalan) Description and history of the barretina
The use of the Barretina had been a characteristic between the Catalonian sailors and army although having less tradition upon the latest.
Cortess description is very interesting because apart from giving them some barretina hats makes clear that he gave them zaraveles which is the translation to Spanish of the Catalonian saravells which are a wide trousers used by a lot of south Catalonians and the Valencian country also from the kingdom of Aragon.
What is now clear is that this hat was a barretina hat and the fact that the medal was a Saint George in horse killing a dragon is a clear sign for Saint George is the patron saint of Catalonia and Aragon.
