Curved visor and structured crown: the casual chic spirit
A cap in the spirit of casual chic is recognized by its simplicity: a solid colour, a modestly sized embroidered emblem, and clean seams. It favours the curved visor, which shades the eyes better and goes well with city wear, rather than the flat visor of more urban models. A structured crown, reinforced at the front, maintains its shape and showcases the emblem; a soft crown, without interfacing, can be folded and slipped into a pocket for a day at the stadium or a weekend by the ocean. The choice therefore depends on the use, more than the season.
Washing and storing your cap without distorting it
A cap should be cleaned by hand: soak it in a basin of cold water mixed with mild detergent, scrub the sweatband with an old toothbrush, then rinse without twisting. Dry it in the open air, with the crown placed on a ball of paper or an upturned bowl, never on a radiator. For storage, avoid crushing the visor under a pile of clothes: a shelf or a hook will do. As for size, a model with a adjustable strap fits most adult heads, typically between fifty-five and sixty centimetres.

Frequently asked questions
What position did Serge Blanco play?
He played as a full-back, the position of the last line of defence, responsible for covering the back of the field and launching counter-attacks after opposing kicks. His counter-attacks initiated from his own half have made him legendary.
Did Serge Blanco play for any other club than Biarritz?
No, he spent his entire career at Biarritz Olympique, of which he later became president. This loyalty to a single club remains one of the most notable aspects of his playing career.
What is the origin of Serge Blanco?
He was born in Caracas, Venezuela, in 1958, to a Venezuelan father and a Basque mother. He then grew up in Biarritz, where he discovered rugby and joined the local club.
What colour cap should I choose for everyday use?
Navy blue, beige, and off-white match most outfits and age well. Lighter shades reflect more heat in bright sunlight, while darker colours are less likely to show sweat marks.
How can I tell if a cap is too small?
It leaves a red mark on the forehead after a few minutes or rides up by itself on the head. A well-fitted cap stays in place without being tight and allows a finger to fit between the inner band and the temple.
