Octobre Éditions x ’47: A Transatlantic Spin on a Classic

When Parisian label Octobre Éditions teams up with Boston-born heritage brand ’47, the result is a capsule that balances effortless French refinement with all-American sporting credibility. For Autumn 2025, the two names join forces to rework the ’47 Clean Up cap — a silhouette with cult status among baseball fans, now reframed through a distinctly Parisian lens.

The capsule is compact but considered: four caps, each one cut from premium fabrics that embody Octobre’s taste for understated design and meticulous detail. There’s a collegiate-style two-tone in ecru and navy, a deep forest green in soft flannel, a navy-and-green check flannel that echoes Octobre’s seasonal staples, and an earthy green option that sits firmly in the brand’s muted palette. These aren’t throwaway accessories; they’re built as timeless staples, the kind of pieces that slot neatly into a wardrobe that prizes quality above trend.

At the heart of the collaboration is the Clean Up silhouette itself. Known for its relaxed crown, adjustable strap, and unstructured fit, it’s a cap that’s defined by ease and comfort rather than formality. As Arthur Pearson, Octobre’s Director, explains: “We wanted to show ’47 through our eyes. That’s what made the Clean Up so compelling to us — exceptional comfort, a relaxed fit, an adjustable closure. We saw an opportunity to revisit it through our lens, working with elevated materials while preserving what makes it great.”

The collaboration also underscores a broader shift in menswear: the blurring of boundaries between sportswear and smart casual, between heritage and contemporary. Where once the baseball cap might have been relegated to the gym bag or weekend uniform, this partnership demonstrates how it can be reworked as part of an elevated, everyday wardrobe.

Priced at £60 each, the caps embody the ethos both brands share — creating enduring, well-crafted pieces that transcend geography and trend cycles. Octobre brings Parisian subtlety; ’47 delivers American authenticity. Together, they’ve turned the humble baseball cap into a refined staple, ready for autumn layering on either side of the Atlantic.
