Forms of ivy caps (attached brim)

Irish Cap

Rounder and therefore wider, it is traditionally made from sheep's wool.
It consists of 8 panels of fabric connected by a button at the top.

Hatteras Cap

Composed of 6 panels, this cap of American origin is less wide, less puffy than the Irish cap but taller, with a visible visor.









Flat Cap / Ivy Cap

Narrow in shape and very flat on top.
Despite its origins, it can be considered a traditional cap in France, it's the famous grandpa cap, for a guaranteed retro look.









Duckbill Cap

It hugs the shape of the skull and thus has a more rounded, yet more discreet shape, in a more casual style.
It's the "retro sport" cap

Forms of caps (detached brim)

Newsboy Cap 

Cap with 8 panels, it was once worn by workers. It's a cap that can be worn by both men and women. It is worn well down on the head, symmetrically, on the back or completely tilted, revealing one ear and covering the other, slightly bulging on top, this cap has long proven itself, and has become an essential element for any good French person keen to appear as genuine as possible without frills, here is an excellent accessory of elegance and style.

Cadet Cap 

Also called Cuban or army cap, it has a more "strict" shape with its flat crown on top, and a shorter visor. Like the camouflage, fashion has embraced this accessory with delight, offering us a variety of models and patterns ever richer.











Baseball, Trucker or Curve Cap

Certainly the most sportswear cap, adopted by tennis players or golfers.
It is very popular in American or Japanese cultures.
It is ideal for a casual look. Its long visor provides effective eye protection against the sun's rays. Like the T-shirt, while the shape remains essentially the same, designers have a field day offering us a multitude of different styles ranging from the most whimsical to the most sober.

This is not a cap (without brim)

Basque Beret 

The Basque beret, a symbol of an ancestral tradition, is round like a pancake, usually topped with a small tail in the middle, called the "cabillou".
Made from sheep's wool and carefully refined to be felted, it originated in the southwest of France, in an agricultural environment.
It quickly conquered Paris and fashion, then the whole world, conveying its rebellious and libertarian spirit... in the French way!
