Military Caps – From Military Heritage to Fashion Icon

As its name suggests, the military cap has its roots in the military. Some attribute it to the Cuban army under Fidel Castro, who made it a symbol of his image during the revolution. Others point to its origins in the U.S. armed forces of the 1950s, whose designs are said to have inspired the Cuban version. In any case, one thing is certain: the military cap has left the military to establish itself as a universal fashion accessory.

Adopted by both men and women, the military cap is today a versatile and contemporary headgear, appreciated for its functionality as much as for its style.

Find your perfect military cap

Sporty, elegant, or rugged: there's a style for every personality. In summer, models made from breathable cotton or finely woven linen offer unparalleled lightness and absorb moisture while providing effective protection from the sun thanks to their pre-curved visors. When the weather turns more uncertain, water-repellent waxed cotton versions ensure optimal comfort and reliable protection.

UV protection – the combination of style and safety

Many military caps, particularly those from Stetson, feature certified sun protection. Whether hiking, cycling, or relaxing outdoors, they protect against UV rays.

Military caps for winter

The military cap also comes in a winter version. Wool and leather provide insulation and refinement, while cotton or fleece linings offer additional comfort. Some models, such as those from Stetson or Lierys, feature removable ear flaps: raised for mild days, lowered during intense cold.
