Lately, we have been receiving requests to make custom cycling caps for kids. Tristan (from the UK) contacted us wanting a King Dutch cycling cap for his son, Rory. Depending upon fabric availability,   the smallest custom cycling cap we can make is size XS (19.5" - 21"). Take a look at our shop for the styles offered. Production time usually is about 2 weeks. Rory is the little King Dutch!



As the Giro d'ltalia is in full swing, it's been exciting racing. Tomorrow is the first mountain stage and it promises to shake up the GC. Jenny is wearing our Corsa Rosa and looks to be set to watch stage 8 (we will too)...






Good news: We now have the material, from our supplier, to produce a new batch of Corsa Rosa cycling caps! We should have a new generation of Corsa Rosa caps well before the end of the Giro - check back soon for the re-launch of our popular Corsa Rosa cap!



Whilst our 3-season cycling caps are popular as ever, if you live in the Southern Hemisphere - namely Australia & New Zealand, and winter is approaching - our winter cycling caps are the popular choice. Our Antipodean friends are embracing...

Viva Il Campionissimo!

Viva la Bianchi! Viva Coppi!







Less than a week before the Giro d'ltalia starts May 9 in Belfast. We are getting ready for one of our favorite GTs bracing ourselves for the upcoming fireworks. It will be mountainous - 9 uphill finishes, 5 summit finishes in the high mountains. One rider that symbolizes the Giro is the Il Campionissimo... Fausto Coppi. He is legendary winning the Giro d'ltala five times (1940, 1947, 1949, 1952, 1953). The mountain classification three times (1948, 1949, 1954) and twenty-two stages. Our new Il Campionissimo cycling cap is a tribute to him... the champion of champions.

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.
