The communist cap is probably the most versatile accessory in the entire militant culture. It slips onto a classic outfit to add a detail that changes everything, or it takes centre stage on a more assertive look. Our collection brings the great symbols of the movement to a range of models: flat caps in the style of 1920s workers, Soviet military caps with embroidered red star, snapbacks with the CCCP logo, 5-panel models for fans of committed streetwear.
For Che fans looking for something more specific, take a look at our Che Guevara caps, entirely dedicated to the Cuban icon and his many visual interpretations.
The accessory that transforms an entire outfit
A communist cap goes with everything: a communist t-shirt in summer, a denim jacket for mid-seasons, a heavy coat in winter. It brings that touch of discreet commitment you place over the rest of a more neutral outfit, or it amplifies an already confident look.
The symbols you wear on your head have a dense history. The red star, for example, five points for the five continents the revolution was to embrace, became the emblem of the Red Army and then of the international communist movement from the 1920s onwards. To learn more, our article on the meaning of the red star goes into the detail of this founding symbolism.
Our other militant headwear
When winter sets in and a cap is not enough, we move to communist beanies: warm knitted models, embroidered with stars or Soviet insignia. Commitment knows no off-season, and our range follows you all year round.
All our accessory collections are available at Univers Communiste, with fast delivery and easy returns if the size is not right. Order with confidence.
