TGIF: New Lanterne Rouge Cycling Cap & Custom pink polk dots

Lanterne Rouge Cycling Cap

We firmly believe the last place rider in the Tour de France deserves special distinction. Introducing our new Lanterne Rouge cycling cap! 




Bernard Hinault (first) & Gerhard Schonbacher (lanterne rouge),
1979 Tour de France





He may be the last place finisher but to hang in every stage and finish before the time cut, well he's as just important as the first guy. The Tour de France organizers admired that rider since 1903. The name hails from the red lanterns that used to hand from the caboose of railway cars. It means the last placed rider, not of failure but is a symbol of success. We believe it's the French way;  love for the tough underdog and always fighting to the finish. 

For the lanterne rouge can be payday. He will be invited to the many post Tour criteriums as these criteriums pay the riders to participate. For an unknown, lowly paid professional rider, in those days - it could be very lucrative for this rider to come last and make double his salary in a couple weeks. There was plenty of drama in the back of the peloton with riders racing for the coveted last place spot. Riders would hide behind cars, they'd hide behind bridges just to lose a few seconds and take last place.

Svein Tuft was the first Canadian rider to win the honor in 2013 knowing how to suffer, getting over the mountains and not quitting the Tour.


We proudly present the Lanterne Rouge made from Linen/cotton in the color porto. Embroidered lanterne rouge design to signify that you will never quit!






Our latest custom cap for Brian's little girl...



Thanks Brian and you're welcome!

TGIF: Ride Hard! The new Flahute Cycling Cap.

Flahute Cycling Cap

Flahute: Riders who perform with love for the tough northern classics with dangerous cobbles and chaotic weather imaginable in bike racing. 

Flahute racers are a tough breed here are some of the greatest: Merckx, Buysse, Van Steenbergen, Van Looy, De Vlaeminck, Schotte, Hinault and Kelly. Predominately they are Belgian, love the foul weather, inhuman roads and win the northern classics.

We have created a unique cap in honor to all Flahute racers and to all cyclists who honor the "hardest of the hard men" of cycling. Attention to detail is important as we used a vintage blue linen/cotton reminiscent of the early Belgian national jersey color...

Are you tough enough? We think so...


Flahute cycling cap, now available here.

We are looking forward, cheering like Tifosi, to Sunday's final Monument... Il Lombardia!

This great Italian Monument is nicknamed, the Classica delle Foglie Morte (the Classic of the falling leaves). This will be the 109th edition favored for the punchy climbers. The Tifosi (the cycling mad fans) will be cheering their heroes on the epic climbs: Madonna del Ghisallo and the incredibly steep Muro di Sormano (1.7km, max grade: 25%)...








We'll be cheering like Tifosi!
