Sailor's Cap

Some caps are simply worn. This one is earned.

Crafted from thick wool cloth, the very same used for sailors' pea coats, this sailor's cap is the direct heir to a centuries-old maritime tradition. At Augustin, we don't deal in imitations: this is the authentic Breton sailor's cap, the one seen on Brittany's quaysides for generations.

What sets it apart

- Sturdy wool cloth, warm and resistant to sea spray, offering effective protection from the wind without weighing down your silhouette

- A short peak, characteristic of traditional sailor's caps: it shields the eyes from the sun without catching the wind, a decisive advantage at the helm

- A front cord held in place by two metal buttons engraved with a ship's anchor, a discreet and elegant signature of the nautical world

- A single deep navy blue colour, understated and timeless, it goes with everything and lasts a lifetime

- A unisex model, available from size 55 to 61 to suit every head shape

Did you know?

Why is the peak of a sailor's cap so short? To reduce wind resistance when the boat faces the elements. This ingenious shape, inherited from maritime tradition, protects the eyes without risking the cap flying overboard. A detail thought up by sailors... for sailors, Captain.

Whether for a day out at sea, a stroll along the coast or simply to bring a touch of understated maritime elegance to everyday life, this cap is built to last, like everything we have made at Augustin since 1996.
