Adjustable or fitted baseball caps
The baseball cap is recognized by its rounded six-panel crown and curved visor. Made of cotton for summer, or wool or faux fur for winter, it can be adjusted at the back or chosen in a specific size.
Plain or in a team's colours, the adjustable cap fits nearly all head sizes.
Which baseball cap to choose?
Cotton, in twill or twill weave, remains the most common material: light, it can be worn from spring to autumn. Wool and faux fur take over when it's cold, without covering the ears. Mesh models keep your head cool in the height of summer.
Cured visor or flat visor?
The curved visor is the original shape: it protects the eyes from the sun and frames the face. The flat visor, typical of snapback caps, gives a more streetwear look; it is kept straight, just as it was designed.
Adjustable or fitted: how to choose the size?
An adjustable cap has a strap at the back, either a hook-and-loop fastener, a metal buckle, or a snap tab: handy for gifting. A fitted or elasticised cap is chosen according to head size, measured in centimetres; it fits better but isn't adjustable.
Club cap or plain cap?
Caps in team colours, whether baseball, football, or motorsport, display like a jersey. A plain cap, in black, beige or navy, integrates more easily with the rest of your wardrobe and lasts across seasons.
How to wear a baseball cap?
Wear the visor in front to shield yourself from the sun, paired with a t-shirt, sweatshirt or light jacket. A black cap also goes well with a coat in winter. When worn with the visor at the back, it gives a more casual vibe but no longer protects the face. For sports, choose a lightweight model that dries quickly; for the city, a thicker material, like wool or cotton twill, retains its shape better.
How to wash a cap without deforming it?
Avoid the washing machine, as it twists the visor. Gently scrub stains with a soft brush and some soapy water, rinse without soaking the visor's cardboard, then let it dry resting on a pot or a ball. Never in the tumble dryer.
What other headgear for summer?
More ventilated, trucker caps; more covering, bobs, which also protect the neck. Two other ways to shield yourself from the sun.
When to find caps at reduced prices?
The cotton cap can be found at summer sales, while wool and faux fur models come out during Black Friday and winter sales: for a discounted cap, it all depends on the material.
Visit the Black Friday page in November, the Sales page during sales, and the promotional accessories page the rest of the year. Fast shipping and best price guaranteed.
Frequently asked questions
What is the button on the top for?
It covers the point where the panels of the crown meet. This button hides the seams and reinforces the top of the cap.
How to round a new visor?
Gently curve it between your hands, without bending it in half. Repeat over a few days rather than forcing it: a bent visor cannot be fixed.
Can you wear a cap in winter?
Yes, in wool or faux fur, which is warmer than cotton. It leaves the ears exposed: in extreme cold, a beanie is safer.
How to tell if a cap is too small?
It rides up on the head and leaves a red mark on the forehead after a few minutes. A too tight cap eventually causes headaches.
Women's cap or unisex cap?
The shape remains the same. Women's models mainly differ in their colours and details, and the back strap allows size adjustment.
