Caps from the brand Le Coq Sportif

Romilly-sur-Seine, 1882: the birth of a brand

Le Coq Sportif was born in 1882 in Romilly-sur-Seine, in the Aube region, where Émile Camuset opened a hosiery workshop. The manufacturer worked with knitwear, corduroy, and brushed fleece, designing outfits for the athletes around him, with cyclists as a priority. The Gallic rooster, a national emblem, became the brand's signature in 1948; it has since appeared on its jerseys, tracksuits, and caps. In 2010, the brand re-established a research centre and then a production workshop in Romilly, thus returning to manufacturing in its home region.

Other brands

The caps also come in different brands:

• Force XV.

The rooster on the jersey of the Blues, until the World Cup 2023

Le Coq Sportif has dressed the French XV several times. After an initial period remembered by supporters, the brand reunited with the Blues on July 1, 2018, for a six-season contract. Jerseys are then cut, assembled, and printed in the Romilly factory, and it is the Aube-based outfitter that accompanies the French team during the 2023 World Cup, held at home. Wearing a cap from the brand thus displays a double emblem: that of French sport and that of a manufacturer tied to the history of tricolour rugby.

Head size, panels, and eyelets: choosing your cap

Before choosing, measure your head size with a flexible measuring tape, positioned horizontally one finger above the eyebrows and passing over the ears. An adult cap generally fits from fifty-five to sixty centimetres; a model with a adjustable strap adapts to almost all head sizes, while a closed back requires an exact measurement. The classic construction features six sewn panels, a button on top, and small embroidered eyelets that allow air circulation. For maintenance, a hand wash in cold water and drying on an upside-down bowl preserve the shape of the crown and the visor.

Frequently asked questions

Does Le Coq Sportif run small or large?

The brand's adjustable caps fit at the back and suit most adult heads. For a fixed-size model, it's better to rely on your head size measured in centimetres rather than your usual clothing size.

Why did Le Coq Sportif choose a rooster as a logo?

The Gallic rooster is the traditional emblem of France, and the brand made it its signature in 1948. This choice naturally makes it dear to supporters of the French XV, who have been accompanied by the same animal on their jersey since the early twentieth century.

Is a Le Coq Sportif cap suitable for a child?

An adjustable cap can tighten enough for a teenager, but a young child's head often measures less than fifty-two centimetres. In this case, check the adjustment range indicated on the product page before ordering.

Is the brand Le Coq Sportif really French?

Yes, it was born in the Aube region, in Romilly-sur-Seine, where it reopened a research centre and a workshop in 2010. Its Gallic rooster makes it one of the brands most closely associated with France.

Can you wash a cap in the machine?

It's better to avoid it: the drum can twist the visor and distort the cap. A hand wash in cold water, with a little mild soap and a soft brush for the sweatband, is enough to refresh it.
