The practical origins of the Miki hat

The design of the Miki hat is closely linked to the needs of fishermen. At sea, visibility and hearing are crucial for safety. Unlike traditional hats on board, the Miki frees the ears and forehead, allowing fishermen to hear and see better, especially in low light or poor visibility situations. This feature made the Miki an indispensable tool for those who worked at sea. Over time, the Miki hat evolved from a simple utility accessory to a cultural symbol and fashion item. Its adoption by sailors gradually influenced coastal populations, and the Miki began to be worn by port workers and inhabitants of maritime regions. The sturdiness and simplicity of this hat have made it a popular choice.

With the rise of tourism and the growing fascination with regional cultures and their traditions, the Miki hat has been rediscovered by designers and fashion enthusiasts. Brands like All'ocean have played a crucial role in this renaissance, modernizing design while respecting its historical roots. The materials used, such as high quality merino wool and cotton, and artisan manufacturing methods, ensure that each Miki beanie retains the authenticity of its origins while meeting modern standards of comfort and style.

From work hat to fashion accessory

Today, the Miki hat goes beyond the borders of Brittany and even France. It has become a globally recognized fashion accessory, worn by celebrities, influencers and fashion enthusiasts. Its distinct appearance and rich history make it an ideal choice for those looking to add a touch of character and authenticity to their wardrobe. The term "Miki" itself is intriguing. Although its exact origin is open to debate, some suggest that it may be derived from the Breton word "miki-mosquito", referring to the small size and tight fit of the cap which prevented insects from landing on the head of sailors.

Urban and modern look

For an urbanandmodern look, combine the Miki sailor hat classic with trendy and casual pieces. Wear it with a leather jacket or a parka like the Islander mixed parka in canvas, a graphic t-shirt like the TDM 4L Surf t-shirt and slim or ripped jeans. Complete your outfit with sneakers or boots. This look is perfect for a day on the town, a coffee with friends or even a concert. The Miki hat adds a touch of originality and boldness to your urban style.

Casual but elegant style

The Miki hat is ideal for a casual andcomfortable style. Pair it with a wool sweater (choose the Michel merino wool sweater for men and Sauzon for women) or cotton, jeans or cargo pants, and sports shoes or moccasins. This look is perfect for informal outings, outdoor walks or relaxing days. The Miki hat, thanks to its fitted cut, guarantees you optimal comfort while adding a stylish touch to your casual outfit. For a slightly more chic, elegant look, opt for a women's canvas jacket Malta or a vareuse lined in wadding Bisquine if you're missing a little heat.

Nautical marine look

For an authentic nautical look, take inspiration from Breton sailors by combining the Miki hat with a Lanvéoc national navy mixed sailor top, white or navy blue pants, and boat shoes or espadrilles. Add a canvas jacket or pea coat to complete your outfit. The perfect sailor look? A Vintage Miki sailor hat with a Vareuse Chaloupe Vintage, the unstoppable combo ! This style is ideal for a day at the seaside, a cruise or a summer outing. The Miki hat reinforces the maritime aspect of your outfit while protecting you from wind and bad weather.

Casual, trendy look

To sport a trendy and casual look with a vintage “All Océan” cotton cap, opt for a style that combines comfort and elegance. Pair your cap with a linen blend t-shirt like the Guillemot t-shirt or in organic cotton like the TDM 1995 shirt. The ideal is to stay in neutral tones like white, beige or gray, to highlight one of our multiple colors of caps. For the bottom, slim jeans or denim shorts will match perfectly. If you are more into cargo or sailor pants, opt for our pants in Artimon II canvas or our shorts Winch II for sunny days. Complete your outfit with white sneakers or leather sandals for a summer touch. Adopt this style for an outing by the sea or a walk in town, and enjoy the authenticity and charm of your vintage “All Ocean” cotton cap.

100% marine look

Perfect for a day by the sea, wear your cap with a light sailor short-sleeved Transat and beige linen shorts. Add brown leather sandals and a navy rope bracelet to reinforce the nautical theme. A pair of round sunglasses will add a retro touch to your outfit. For a trip on a boat or to walk near a port in autumn or when the nights get cooler, choose a Velvet Baseball cap to complete your outfit with a Morgat sailor top for women or Bosco for men in organic cotton. 

Sporty and dynamic look

For a sporty look, nothing could be simpler! Pair your All Ocean cap with a light gray hoodie and black jogging pants. Complete with breathable mesh running sneakers and a stainless steel water bottle. This look is perfect for an outdoor workout or an active day. You go out ?
