The MIKI Docker
The Miki is designed to be worn short, just above the ears. That’s its signature.
Wear it straight across the forehead to emphasize its rounded, graphic, almost architectural shape.
Or tilt it slightly back for a more relaxed look.
The adjustable strap is traditionally worn at the back, but bring it to the front and the Miki instantly takes on a different personality.
One little detail worth knowing: once adjusted, always tuck the end of the strap inside the rolled hem for a clean finish.
Trench coat, workwear jacket, chunky knit or simple T-shirt: the Miki is made to be worn all year round.
Straight, tilted back, strap front or back: it’s up to you to find your way of wearing it.
And most importantly, share your #MikiAddict looks with us. We love seeing what the Miki becomes once it leaves our workshop.

THE WATCH CAP
The Watch Cap was born as a warmer, fully closed version of our Miki Docker, keeping the same short fit, precise proportions and distinctive shape on the head. Depending on the style, we play with heavyweight denim, wool fabrics or textured corduroy, paired with a hypoallergenic fleece lining for maximum comfort. Materials chosen as much for their warmth as for the structure they bring to the Watch Cap.
And as is often the case at Béton Ciré, it’s the details that make the difference: a carefully designed cuff, contrasting textures, subtle embroidery or a fabric you wouldn’t necessarily expect to find on a beanie. Small choices that give it a more distinctive edge.
Wear it short, just above the ears, in the spirit of the Miki, or pull the cuff slightly lower when the weather gets seriously cold.
A beanie, but with just enough Béton Ciré to make it stand apart.

THE BEANIES
A direct descendant of our iconic Miki Docker, the Beanie Miki brings our signature shape into the world of knitwear. Knitted in France in a generous chunky rib, it keeps the short, close-fitting shape that has become a Béton Ciré signature, somewhere between a knitted beanie and a hat.
The small detail at the top, a subtle nod to the traditional beret, reflects our attachment to the world of headwear. Wool brings warmth and softness, while a discreet technical yarn helps the knit retain its shape season after season.
The kind of beanie you wear with a long coat, well-worn denim or a sailor sweater… and that soon becomes part of everyday life.

The CHALUTIER - Rain hat
The Chalutier takes its inspiration from the hats once worn by fishermen along the shore to protect themselves from wind and rain. At Béton Ciré, we kept that idea of protection while evolving the shape and materials to bring it into the city.
In waxed cotton, it becomes the Rain Hat: more rugged and water-resistant, with a fabric that develops marks and its own patina over time. In gabardine, it becomes the Chalutrench: cleaner and more urban, with a clear nod to the trench coat and its functional elegance. Two materials, two personalities, but always the same enveloping shape designed to offer protection without feeling restrictive.
Wear the brim naturally down when the weather turns, or lift it slightly at the front or sides to open up the face and change the look. A few simple adjustments are all it takes to shift from a true rain hat to a much more urban silhouette.
Rain, wind or uncertain skies: the Chalutier was made precisely for those days when the weather can’t quite make up its mind.
A shape born to protect from the elements, simply brought into the present.
Brim straight
The Sun HAT
The Sun Hat takes its shape from our Chalutier, inspired by the hats traditionally worn by fishermen along the shore to protect themselves from the sun and the elements. At Béton Ciré, we’ve brought it into summer with textured linen or a linen-cotton blend, a softer or more structured shape depending on the style, and a raw edge deliberately left slightly frayed.
That’s exactly what we love about this hat: it doesn’t need to look perfectly pristine. The fabric creases, the edge evolves and the material softens over time. The more you wear it, the more personal it becomes.
Wear the brim naturally down for more protection from the sun, or turn it up slightly in places for a more urban look.
At the beach, in the city, while travelling or simply when the sun starts getting stronger, it’s the kind of hat you grab without thinking and end up taking everywhere.
A sun hat that protects, of course. But above all, a summer Chalutier that isn’t afraid of a few creases.

The Cap
OUR CAPS, A CLASSIC DONE OUR WAY
Everyone knows the cap. Most of us already own one, probably more than one. At Béton Ciré, we prefer to shake up this familiar shape, playing with a different cut, an unexpected fabric, or both.
A Factory Cap inspired by workwear, wool felt handcrafted in Brittany, urban gabardine, waxed cotton, denim that develops its own patina… each design is a new opportunity to play with the codes of the classic cap.
The material also completely changes the way it looks and feels: softer, more structured, rawer or more enveloping. Wear it straight, tilt it slightly back or shift it a little to one side. Sometimes, just a few centimeters can change the way it frames your face.
You probably already own a cap. This one should give you a good reason to wear one differently.
THE CHAPKA
Notre Chapka est directement née du Miki Docker. Nous en avons repris la construction, les volumes courts et cette façon bien particulière de se poser sur la tête, puis nous l’avons prolongée pour protéger les oreilles et affronter les journées les plus froides. C’est ce mélange entre la forme de notre Miki et le côté enveloppant d’une chapka qui lui donne cette allure si singulière, devenue au fil des hivers l’une des formes particulièrement appréciées de nos clients.
Velours côtelé, coton waxé, lainage ou feutre de laine artisanal… selon les modèles, on joue avec les matières pour changer sa personnalité, tout en conservant cette construction immédiatement reconnaissable.
Portez-la avec les oreilles relevées pour garder sa forme courte et graphique, ou rabaissez-les dès que le froid se fait plus sérieux. Vous verrez, malgré son allure très affirmée, c’est un chapeau que l’on adopte étonnamment facilement. Et c’est sans doute ce qu’on aime le plus avec elle : elle tient vraiment chaud tout en changeant immédiatement une allure.
Un peu Miki, vraiment Chapka, et définitivement Béton Ciré.
