Since September, we have been on a torrid pace busy working on custom embroidery cycling caps. We're proud to show two examples; the California Bear custom cycling cap for an American client and our current project, the Manx cap for our client from the Isle of Man. And, it doesn't look like it's stopping soon, we are also working on custom embroidery caps for two teams in Canada and the US.
It's fun to finally take advantage of our wonderful embroidery machine!

TGIF: In Praise For The Panzer
photo Red Dots Cycling
TGIF is the day for a tribute to my Pfaff 96 sewing machine affectionately dubbed, 'the Panzer.'
We're currently producing a small batch of Piccolo inner tube pouches for a special order for a UK bike shop, and enjoying it with the help from the Panzer. I use it especially for rubber. I have much praise for this all mechanical machine. My Panzer can handle almost anything - effortlessly sewing through the tough rubber. It's super strong. After a session I take care to clean and lubricate it ... ready for more inner tubes.
It's wonderful!

Thank You to Casey Robertson: Caps Not Hats
Today, we received a wonderful email from Casey Robertson, co-founder of Caps Not Hats movement...
Great to see you guys supporting the CnH movement. I am the fellow who co-developed the project with Bill, and we had a great time with it during the summer Grand Tours. It's one of my favorite graphic projects to date, and what a great cause! Style must prevail!
Your cycling caps are fantastic. Let me know if there's anything I can help you with.
Casey has partnered up with Bicycle Magazine's Bill Strickland to take the traditional cycling cap and help push it front row center on the podium. Carolle and I are extremely happy for the acknowledgement and endeavour to continue on, if not persistently, creating fine, unique and classic cycling caps for everyone.
In the words of Casey Robertson, "Keep our sartorial heritage alive and well. Please join us in this movement... #capsnothats."
Thank You.
Sartorial Elegance...
Der Panzerwagen knows!

First Look: Raiment Cycling Clothing
all photos Red Dots Cycling
Yesterday, I decided to see our cycling caps, now available at the new Raiment Cycling Clothing (247 W. Broadway, Vancouver).
I walked into the new location about 4-times the size of the old shop formerly at Musette Caffe, and saw our well displayed cycling caps.
Our summer/fall/winter caps...
Raiment is on busy W. Broadway and I believe it has the right cycling exposure front and center next to their headquarters, La Bicicletta Pro Shop.
I had a nice chat with the friendly clerk and I'm proud to hear that our caps are both admired for their design and the importance they are locally produced. The same words echoed to me by owner, Kevin.
Next door to La Bicicletta Pro Shop...
I invite you to go visit Raiment Cycling Clothing and try on one of our Summer/Fall/Winter cycling caps - you'll want to add a few to your cycling kit.
A footnote: After my visit to Raiment I immediately posted on our Facebook page and shortly afterwards Chris posted, 'Just came in and picked up a winter cap. Cozy!'
Thanks and enjoy your winter cap Chris!
Thanks and enjoy your winter cap Chris!
A huge wall size Fausto warmly greets you!

Viva Falling Leaves, Viva Fausto Coppi!
Falling Leaves Cycling Cap
photo Red Dots Cycling
Carolle and I have a certain 'Italian pride' for our limited edition Falling Leaves Cycling Cap.
We designed it based on Il Lombardia, 'la classica delle foglie morte' - the classic of the dead (falling) leaves. Made from black cotton/denim/spandex and a bold Italian tricolor under brim - we love the understated beauty.
Today is the 94th birthday of the 'Champion of Champions' Fausto Coppi. For us, Coppi is synonymous with dashing Italian cycling winning Lombardia a record 5-times (1946, 1947, 1948, 1949, 1954).
Here's to our Falling Leaves Cycling Cap and to the legendary Fausto Coppi!
