The men's baseball cap section brings together American leagues and European football: New Era 9FORTY and 9TWENTY featuring the logos of the Yankees, Knicks, Spurs, Saints, or FC Barcelona, '47 MVP and Clean Up, Kangol in wool or Tropic, The North Face and Service Works.
Born on baseball fields to protect players from the sun, the cap has become a symbol of belonging. People wear the logo of their team, their city, or simply a design they like.
The selection covers MLB, NBA, NFL and a few European football clubs.
Founded in 1920 in Buffalo, New York, New Era makes the official caps of American baseball. It has named its silhouettes to help people find their way.
The 9FORTY is the go-to adjustable cap: structured crown, curved visor, adjustable strap at the back. The E-Frame version features a taller crown.
The 9TWENTY, soft and unstructured, follows the shape of the head. Faded, it has a vintage look.
New York Yankees for the MLB, New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs for the NBA, New Orleans Saints for the NFL, FC Barcelona for football: each logo tells a story.
The brand '47 was born in 1947 in Boston, on the cart of the D'Angelo brothers, set up near the Red Sox stadium. Its MVP is structured, with a curved visor and adjustable strap; the Clean Up is soft, in the spirit of a dad cap.
See the page '47.
For those who prefer a cap without a sports logo, Kangol offers the Wool Flexfit in wool, elasticated, the Spacecap, the Spitfire and the Tropic Ventair Space, lightweight for summer.
The North Face offers outdoor caps that are lightweight and breathable. Service Works, a brand inspired by kitchen clothes, offers caps with a workwear look.
The curved visor, a classic in baseball, offers better sun protection for the eyes and gives a sporty look. The flat visor, typical of snapbacks, has a more streetwear style. Most caps in this selection have a curved visor.
Visor in front, paired with a sweatshirt, jeans and sneakers: the classic look. Turned around, with the visor at the back, for a more relaxed style. With a denim jacket or flannel shirt, it fits well into a workwear outfit.
Matching the colour of your cap with that of your sneakers is a classic urban style. A navy Yankees logo with white sneakers featuring blue details creates a cohesive look effortlessly.
For running or playing golf, a lightweight and breathable cap protects from the sun. Thicker cotton models, which are warmer, should be reserved for city wear.
The navy blue of the Yankees, the black and silver of the Spurs, the black and gold of the Saints: a team's colours go well with a simple outfit. For a more subtle style, choose a tone-on-tone logo.
Adjustable caps fit with a strap, buckle or Velcro at the back. Flexfit models are chosen by size: measure your head circumference above the ears. A cap should fit without leaving marks on the forehead.
Brush it to remove dust and clean sweat marks with a soft brush and soapy water. Dry it on a bowl or a ball to maintain the shape of the crown. Avoid the washing machine and tumble dryer.
For a flat visor, check out the snapback caps; for a breathable mesh, see the trucker caps. The entire brand is on the page New Era, and the whole selection in the men's headwear.
The 9FORTY is structured, while the 9TWENTY is soft and follows the shape of the head.
An elasticated cap, with no adjustment, chosen according to head size.

By hand, then dried on a bowl or a ball.
From Buffalo, in the state of New York, since 1920.
