It's TGIF...

Derived from our popular King of the Mountains cap, our newest cycling cap first started as a custom request from a father for his little girl. We created a cap with embroidered pink dots, pink ribbon on Teal linen/cotton fabric. In the past we had plenty of requests for kid's cycling caps. With consideration and plenty of research we've come up with one size only: Extra Small 

(XS, 19 ½" - 21"). 

For all l'il grimpeurs, introducing our colorful... Princess of the Mountains! 

Also, if you are interested in any of our in-stock caps in XS (19.5" - 21"), we can most likely make it for you. Just drop us a custom request.

Stage 18 was an incredible performance by Romain Bardet soloing to victory. His descending skills match his climbing skills as the Frenchman went over the Col du Glandon and the Lacets de Montvernier. After the stage Purito Rodriguez and Romain Bardet are both tie in the KoMs classification. Rodriguez will wear the Polka Dot jersey as he has won more HC climbs than Bardet.

Bardet: Champion climber and descending genius.

We have been working on trying to secure the right polka dot fabric and it hasn't been fruitful. Carolle and I decided to use our trusty embroidery machine to produce our own red dots design. And we couldn't be happier... introducing our new King of the Mountains cycling cap!

It's no surprise our new KoMs cap launch coincides with the 2015 Tour de France notably celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Maillot a pois rouges - the polka dot jersey.

Made from pre-washed navy blue linen/cotton for a cycling cap that is comfortable, breathable, anti-bacterial and wicks moisture rapidly. The sporty French tricolor ribbon is handmade. Embroidered red dots under brim makes a classic look you can show when you feel like it, we thought one would like the choice to show your dots. 

We're very happy to finish the KoMs before Bastille Day (July 14) coexisting with the first mountain stage: Tarbes - La Pierre Saint-Martin stage 10.

Available in size: S/M and M/L here and also enjoy limited free shipping.

Vive le King of the Mountains!

Belgian climbing ace, Lucien Van Impe was the first to wear the polka dot jersey in 1975. 

He won two stages and went on to win the KoMs classification.
