Duckbill cap

Duckbill or duckbill cap

The duckbill cap is a beret with an innovative accent!

Named after its shape, it will elegantly enhance your face. 

It's a flat cap with 8 ribs for a retro look that will delight nostalgic headwear fans. 

The curves of the duckbill cap follow the natural shape of the wearer's head, which is also found on 504 kangol or 507 shapes, baseball caps and the shape of traditional berets.

With a fabric close to the head and a domed, rigid shape, the duckbill beret is particularly popular with those looking for a delightful blend of sober fabrics and original shapes.

The duckbill cap combines two shapes: the classic flat cap and those of the beret. In fact, the lines of the duckbill cap follow the natural shape of the head, hugging it all the way round. This is also true of baseball caps, but the shape of the peak is integrated into the cap. The cap's overall appearance is reminiscent of the shape of a beret.
The visor is sewn into the cap, and its domed shape is more or less rigid depending on the model. The duckbill cap therefore emphasizes the shape of the head, and is particularly appreciated by those looking for a streamlined cap. This shape is a blend of sobriety and originality.
Unlike the gavroche cap, this is the perfect model for those with a slim, rather long face: it softens the profile and remains discreet.
