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!
