France rugby cap 9TWENTY Contrast Visor New Era

Technical specifications

Care tips

Hand wash or machine wash at 30°C maximum, delicate cycle. Avoid the tumble dryer — washed cotton keeps its lived-in look better when dried flat or on a hat rack. Do not iron the FFR embroidery directly (use an intermediate cloth if needed). Do not use bleach.

Design

The washed cotton undergoes a controlled wear treatment before manufacturing, creating from the moment of purchase that soft touch and patina look that other caps only achieve after months of wear. The unstructured crown — that is, without internal foam reinforcement — allows compact folding for transport and a more relaxed fit, whereas structured models retain a rigid shape. The adjustable braided fabric strap and New Era sliding buckle offer progressive adjustment and greater durability than entry-level plastic closures. The navy contrast visor recalls the historic color of the Les Bleus jersey, without reproducing the same tone across the whole cap: the dominant white remains neutral for use outside a sports context.

Team France

The Fédération Française de Rugby authorizes the use of its embroidered logo on officially licensed products. This logo — a stylized rooster and the letters FFR — guarantees the product's authenticity and asserts the link with French internationals. Wearing this cap means showing your support for Les Bleus during the Six Nations Championship or the November test matches, but also day to day outside competition periods.

New Era brand

New Era has been manufacturing headwear since 1920 and has set technical standards adopted by the entire industry: visor curve, adjustable sizing system, embroidery quality. The 9TWENTY range specifically designates caps with an unstructured crown and adjustable closure, as opposed to the 59FIFTY (structured crown, fixed size) or the 39THIRTY (stretch fit). This intermediate positioning offers the comfort of flexible models and the versatility of a universal fit, for a wide audience.
