The feedback from the custom Lone Wolf winter cycling caps have been so positive -  here's Taylor Clark's recent comments...

Hey! I jus wanted you guys to know that I recently purchased a Lone Wolf Cyling winter cap that you manufacturered and it is fantastic! I have done my fair share of cold weather cycling in some pretty crappy conditions and this cap is by far the best. The quality and material are stellar. The cap is aesthetically appealing and functional. Cheers! Taylor

Thank you and enjoy Taylor!

We are pleasantly surprised the first batch of custom Lone Wolf Cycling winter caps sold out so quickly. Tim and Jason quickly contacted us and placed a second order. So, we ramped up production and finished it in ten days. The 100% Italian wool winter caps are now available from their website.

The custom caps are gaining in popularity, here's a testimonial from Tim...

This came from a friend and customer who lives in New Hampshire...

Dude. I have done my fair share of winter riding in some very extreme weather conditions over the years. Your LWC winter cap is the best!

Thank you.

The LWC caps are a hit and soon sold out. Kevin Kelly from the US sent this FB photo modeling his new cap. Glad that you are enjoying the custom cap... Thanks Kevin.

We're starting early and sending Valentine's Day love...

The Perfect Compliment: Lone Wolf Cycling Custom Winter Cap

We enjoy working with our clients to produce their custom caps.

Our approach is unique as our clients' design. We spend time with them working on the initial design, once approved we go into production. Of course, we proudly handcraft and embroider every cap in our studio. 

Tim and Jason of Lone Wolf Cycling in Philadelphia contacted us for a batch of custom winter caps. Their manifesto is unique: embracing the glory, solitude and challenges of riding in the dirt. We like that. Add a robust, 100% Italian wool fabric able to keep in the warmth, black ribbon, orange accent ribbon and orange under brim... a great looking winter cap is born!
