Communist Caps - USSR crest

Communist caps for all heads and all occasions

The communist cap is probably the most versatile accessory in all of activist culture. It slips over a classic outfit to add a detail that changes everything, or it takes up all the space on a more assertive look. Our collection includes the major symbols of the movement on various models: flat worker-style caps from the 1920s, Soviet military caps with embroidered red star, snapbacks with the CCCP logo, 5-panel models for lovers of committed streetwear.

For Che fans looking for a more specific piece, take a look at our selection of Che Guevara caps, entirely dedicated to the Cuban icon and his many visual variations.

The accessory that rocks an entire outfit

A communist cap can be worn with everything: a communist t-shirt in summer, a denim jacket for mid-season, a thick coat in winter. It brings that touch of discreet commitment that we add to the rest of a more neutral outfit, or it amplifies an already assertive look.

The symbols you wear on your head have a dense history. The red star, for example, five branches for the five continents that the revolution was to embrace, became in the 1920s the emblem of the Red Army and then of the international communist movement. To learn more, our article on the meaning of the red star goes into detail about this founding symbolism.

Our other activist headwear

When winter sets in and the cap is no longer enough, we switch to communist hats: warm knitted models, embroidered with stars or Soviet symbols. For the extreme cold, the communist chapkas, with their ear flaps, are even more covering. The commitment has no off-season, and our range follows you all year round.

All our accessory collections are available on Communist Universe, with fast delivery and easy returns if the size does not fit. Order with confidence.
