The cycling cap has always been a cult item in cycling clothing and a complement to old cycling jerseys.
Palmarès wanted to go back to the origins of cycling and the Tour de France in order to bring back to the forefront of the pioneers of the Tour 1903.
The cyclists of the beginning of the century Garin, Aucouturier, Petit Breton...during their cycling epics wore headgear: these were town caps of the type of the Irish gavroche cap.
The photo of the start of the first stage of the Tour de France 1903 shows us these first cycling caps.
Palmarès has chosen to produce in France, more precisely in Occitania and on the short circuit its Palmarès d'été cap.
It is in Caussade "la cité du chapeau" in the Etablissements Crambes that this Irish cap is made.
This town in the Tarn et Garonne has experienced a major industrial boom around this hat-making activity, then like many of our French industries "la cité du chapeau" has suffered serious crises in the last three decades.
The Crambes factory, labelled "Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant" (Living Heritage Company), perpetuates its century-old know-how and helps to preserve its local employment and this beautiful specificity of the Caussadaise region.
The passion for local know-how and the passion for cycling are the values favoured by Palmarès.
This cap gives elegance and character to the wearer.
The Irish cap originally worn by the working class at the turn of the century quickly became popular with high society: nowadays, film stars such as Jean Dujardin and footballer David Beckham have revived this cap.
For this summer, Palmarès offers you its Summer Palmarès in 100% linen.
Very light and pleasant thanks to its noble material linen, with these 8 characteristic panels connected at the top by a central button and with this so characteristic visor you will be able to protect you man or lady from this summer's sun rays and offer you a very trendy look.
The tone-on-tone Palmarès embroidery on the nape of the cap complements the design of our headgear.
This cap enriches the "vintage cycling jersey" fashion.
