We are excited to announce our latest custom embroidered cycling cap made especially for the Guvnors' Assembly based in the UK.

This unique cap is made from our favorite linen/cotton fabric that has incredible properties: anti-bacterial, wicks moisture well, breathable, lightweight and comfortable. We embroidered two logos; Guvnors' Assembly and Union Jack. 

As we are making each cap individually, we are able to offer 4-sizes: XS, S/M, M/L & XL.

Special order your Guvnors' Assembly Cycling Cap.

Embracing Cycling Couture

The simple tailor shears are one of the fundamental tools in our studio. Today, we acquired a pair from our supplier because sometimes they have to be replace. They wear out, get bent out of true and have to be retire. I would say that they are one of the unsung heroes in our creative studio. 

I want to thank Chris for his review of the Paris-Roubaix cap. Our handmade caps are exactly like a 'custom tailored suit'. Every cap is designed and made by us in our Vancouver studio. We are strongly guided by high craftsmanship, innovative design and the love for cycling. Passionately preserving and promoting the classic cycling cap to it's rightful place is our mantra. We believe in cycling couture.

New Raiment Bicycle Life Custom Caps

All photos Red Dots Cycling

We are extremely proud of our newest custom cap for ...Raiment Bicycle Life of Vancouver! It can be best describe as retro style cool. Made from pre-washed charcoal grey linen/cotton to avoid shrinkage. Linen/cotton has amazing properties of durability, fast wicking and comfort. We embroidered a bold red Raiment logo finishing with a red linen/cotton under brim complete with a stunning red and ivory ribbon. They are beautiful and practical as the perfect riding companion on or off the bike. Whilst we make many custom caps world wide it's extra satisfying for us, when we work locally. Carolle and I would like to thank the fine folks at Raiment Bicycle Life!

TGIF: The New Il Campionissimo Cycling Cap, Custom Colombian Caps & Operation: Fresh Air

IL Campionissimo Cycling Cap

photo Red Dots Cycling

We love making custom caps. Our latest new addition, Il Campionissimo, was inspired from an Australian customer some time ago. We wrestled with the idea of an all white cap - and decided to go for it. White is a new color for us, outside our comfort zone because we love muted, darker and plaid. But it really makes sense, the summer sun is harsh and riding a bike can be daunting. White is reflective and linen/cotton wicks moisture better than cotton alone and also provides cooling and comfort. The aqua ribbon is near identical to a famous Italian frame builder and cycling star - you get the picture. And, to keep with our tradition a black version is forthcoming.

IL Campionissimo.

The Boar Of The Ardennes Is Sharpening His Fangs

Michael Matthews, Phil Gil and Tony Gallopin.

One of the enjoyable aspects of cycle racing is watching an old hero return to his winning ways. That's what happened to Philippe Gilbert today as he won the one-day classic Brabantse Pijl. He previously won this race as during his magical 2011. Now, the Ardennes trio of races are upcoming. And, something tells me that the Boar of the Ardennes is just sharpening his fangs.

This is big for my morale, and helps ahead of the Ardennes Classics. We will have to wait until LBL to make our conclusions. If I win today and not in the upcoming three races, it's not a good classics season.

Phil Gil is back!

TGIF: The Hell Of The North

I will be up early Sunday morning to watch my favorite race of the season... the 112th Hell of the North.

Who will survive the over 6 hours of 51kms of cobbles punishment, conquer the wind, choking rain or dust, punctures and mechanicals? I'll be watching and wish all the finishing riders can win the cobble stone trophy (above). It wouldn't be a race without one winner...  it's going to fun to watch!

Paris Roubaix: Sur Le Pavé, La Légende

Paris Roubaix is this Sunday and we're awaiting anxiously to watch it. We love the French history, cobbles, the Arenberg Forest, the riders and everything else of this phenomenally rugged race. To honor our favorite classic, we have created our popular...

Saturday File: New Fabric For The Upcoming Cycling Cap & Lions Of Flanders

New fabric arrived!

photo Red Dots Cycling

Yesterday, we received our new shipment of fabric. It includes our newest linen/cotton fabric for our new cycling cap. We'll give you a hint -  it will be white!

I will be up early Sunday morning to watch the Tour of Flanders. It will be a busy morning for me as I will also get ready for the Pacific Populaire 100km ride at 9 AM. It seems I won't have time to watch the end of the Ronde. So, my prediction is for Peter Sagan to win his first monument. And, I plan to finish and enjoy my first century - of the season.

Belgian grit!

We love orange and have always had an orange cap in stock. It's made from pre-washed linen/cotton. Paying close attention to the Dutch contribution in cycling we have added our own unique embroidered Dutch crown design, navy blue under brim, flag detail and 'rd' logo. You don't have to be Dutch to enjoy one!
