This page showcases the caps Macron, when the Italian supplier offers them, for players, coaches, and supporters who are already familiar with the brand from club jerseys. We trace its journey, from Bologna to pitches around the world, and offer our tips for selecting the fit, material, and size of a cap.
The Bologna-based supplier, on the cap side.
Macron was founded in 1971 near Bologna, initially as a distributor in Italy for American sports brands. This stint in American sportswear, the home of the baseball cap, precedes the decisive shift: designing its own team kits. Based in Crespellano since 1994, the company has made its mark in teamwear, providing outfits for clubs, and has become a reference in rugby. It signed in 2013 with the Scottish federation, then with the Italian federation, and dresses many amateur and professional clubs.
Caps also come by brand:
The entire selection is gathered on the caps page.
During the World Cup 2023 held in France, Macron is the official supplier of the tournament kits. The company designs the outfits for the referees and touch judges, for the staff and volunteers, as well as an official product line for supporters, in agreement with World Rugby. This global showcase extends a expertise in teamwear: colours that reflect club identities, embroidered or printed logos, finishes designed for frequent use. A cap Macron fits into this logic, that of a sturdy club accessory, made for the sidelines.
The back adjustment determines the comfort of a cap. The snap closure, known as snapback, is adjusted with a notched plastic band: simple and sturdy, it is well-suited for club caps. The strap in fabric or leather, with a metal buckle or Velcro, offers a finer adjustment, almost to the centimetre. The closed back, made of stretch mesh, hugs the head without an opening but requires knowing your head size. In terms of material, twill cotton remains pleasant for everyday wear, while polyester dries faster after a downpour on the pitch.
Good deals can be found in the promotions, clearance sales, sales, Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections. Items shipped in 24h are prepared and sent within 24 hours. The highlights of the year follow a stable order: the Black Friday late in autumn, the end-of-year holidays, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, and then summer sales and back-to-school.
Each range of teamwear from Macron has its own measurement chart, established by chest size for tops. For a cap, we focus on head size: adjustable models cover the vast majority of adults.
With a tape measure, placed horizontally just above the eyebrows and at the top of the ears. Note the value in centimetres and, between two sizes, choose the larger to avoid pressure on the forehead.
The visor shades the eyes and the upper part of the face, which helps during a summer tournament or training in the middle of the afternoon. It does not cover the neck or ears: sunscreen remains necessary in these areas.
No, the Bologna-based supplier outfits teams in many collective sports. Rugby does hold a special place in its catalog, with national selections, professional clubs, and a multitude of amateur clubs.
By hand, in lukewarm water mixed with a bit of mild detergent, gently scrubbing the inner band with a soft brush. Rinse, drain without twisting, and leave to air dry, away from a radiator that could warp the visor.
