The beret for men evokes a certain softness—a gentle roundness, a vintage charm that brushes the temples. Yet beneath its serene lines, it carries entire stories: from Pyrenean workshops to Parisian cobblestones, from stitched visors in the North to sun-drenched southern fabrics.
Flat caps with precise cuts, felted or woven berets—each piece in the collection creates its own vocabulary of understated elegance. The materials, chosen for their structure and suppleness, whisper of the discreet nobility of linen, the warmth of fine wool, and the ingenuity of technical fabrics.
This is timeless elegance—a refined art of living, at the crossroads of heritage and movement. A promise of style, but also of comfort: the beret for men shields without confining, insulates without weighing down, and moves through the seasons with a lightness that lets your silhouette breathe.
Traditional flat caps are sometimes, mistakenly, referred to as "berets." In reality, these are caps, as they feature a visor—even a short one. The popularity of baseball caps has likely cemented this retro-inspired term.
The beret for men, now an ultra-popular accessory, became famous as a revolutionary emblem with Che Guevara, and even during World War II with the heroes of the Resistance. Today, it is both a chic and vintage accessory.
In France, the men's beret has become iconic, with the famous French beret now a staple of Parisian style. This charming headpiece never goes out of fashion—quite the opposite. It can be worn in countless ways: simply grasp it by the cabillou (little tail) at the top, then tilt it more or less to one side.

Caps were for the working class, hats for the bourgeoisie. It was a strict divide, and yet, in the 19th century, no one went out bareheaded. Times have changed—today, we choose our headwear to suit our outfit, not to signal social status.
Emblematic of French culture, the flat cap was traditionally worn by gentlemen. Over time, the trend has balanced out. Depending on the season and the desired style, it can be crafted from various materials such as wool, leather, or cotton. It may be plain, colorful, patterned, classic, or more original.
Here are the different types:
- The Irish Cap (stitched visor) and the Newsboy cap (detachable visor) are roomy, full-bodied styles. You can play with their shape, tilting them as you like. They are generally made with eight panels and topped with a "button."
- The Hatteras cap keeps some volume but is less baggy at the sides. These models have six panels, with or without a button.
- More understated, the duckbill features a fitted cut that hugs the lines of the head, offering a retro-sporty look.
- The Flat cap, usually with a tailored fit, has a single panel on top. Depending on the model, the back of the cap may fall at a right angle or be more rounded, depending on the cut of the vertical panels.
