【RAL】
This is my cap
Price：¥6,000 (excl. tax)

Material : 100% Cotton
So, in this post, I would like to continue by sharing the functional details of this cap that I couldn’t fit into the last one.
Made by VELO SPICA, a favorite among cyclists
This cap is crafted by VELO SPICA, based in Sendagaya, Tokyo, who specialize in caps for a wide range of activities, from cycling to running and hiking. We carry their original caps here at Circles, and they have gained a large following for their excellent functionality and shape that fits a variety of head and face shapes. Naturally, they have become an obsession among our staff as well.
A brim that blocks the sun and lets the wind pass through
Larger than a standard cycling cap brim but smaller than a baseball cap's, this brim is made from soft material, allowing it to provide ample shade while letting the wind pass through appropriately.
An adjustable strap and deep fit for peace of mind
Since it can be adjusted with a strap, you don't have to worry about it being blown away by the wind; just tighten it a bit when you're on your bike. Another great feature is the depth, which keeps my own large head securely covered.
Lightweight and breathable 100% cotton Madras check
While most "This is my cap" designs are made with high-performance synthetic materials like nylon, we chose 100% cotton Madras check fabric for this RAL version, thinking it would offer a more casual look that blends into everyday life. Even though it is 100% cotton, it is quite breathable and, of course, does a great job of absorbing sweat.
Pile-knit sweatband to absorb running sweat
While the fabric itself might not dry quite as fast as synthetic fibers like nylon or polyester, rest assured that the internal pile-knit sweatband will absorb and dissipate moisture effectively.
It fits comfortably under a helmet, so you can wear it on rides without any stress. There is no doubt it will be a versatile piece in many different situations.
Since it’s a check pattern, you might worry about how to combine it with other items, but since the base colors are white and navy, you should be able to wear it with any solid-colored clothing without a second thought. Personally, I like pairing it with our chambray Player Shirt.
I hope you find your own way to wear it, and once it becomes one of your favorites, I’d be happy if you could introduce it to someone who doesn't know it yet by saying, "This is my cap!"
