RAL Cap

Baseball Cap for Bicycle Riders

The RAL Cap, which has been very popular since its release, is back with a new look!
The popular patterns have been maintained, and now Tacos and Camera have been added to the lineup. Everyone loves cameras and tacos, right?

A baseball cap you can wear every day!

If you are too stylish, you may feel self-conscious, but with a baseball cap, you can match it with any style without worrying about it. We made an original mold of a regular 6-panel baseball cap.

Comfortable to wear even under a helmet

When you wear a helmet, the thickness of the cap is inevitably a concern. The more perfectly fitted a helmet is, the more likely it is that the hat will rattle or feel a little uncomfortable. Therefore, we eliminated the core of the hat as much as possible and made it light and soft. We have tested it many times, so you should be able to wear it quite comfortably.

Brim can be flipped up

Many people have experienced having their hats suddenly blown off in a gust of wind, haven't they? When riding in strong winds or in the sun, it is better to be able to lift up the brim of the hat like a cycle cap. This is why we designed this cap from a cyclist's point of view.

Easily adjustable drawcord back

The perfect fitting depends on the situation, such as when you want to lift up the brim during a ride or when you want to relax in a café. When you are comfortable wearing a tight fit, when you prefer a looser fit, and even during the course of a day, the tension can change in various ways. The drawcord closure makes it easy to adjust the fitting of the hat at such times.

Authentic fabric for camping and hiking

The fabric is a thin 60/40 cloth (Rokyon cloth) made of 60% cotton and 40% nylon, woven together in a high density. It is more abrasion resistant, water repellent, and breathable than 100% nylon.

Made in Local...

We want to make what we want, as far as we can see, with people we know well, and we plan to manufacture RAL products made in Japan in the Tokai region, mainly in Aichi and Gifu prefectures, as much as possible.

For this cap, we asked an embroidery factory in Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture, to embroider and a small hat workshop in Ichinomiya City, Aichi Prefecture, to do the sewing.

The situation of manufacturing sites has changed drastically in the past 30 years, and the number of manufacturing sites in Japan has dramatically decreased. However, there are still garment manufacturing sites within an hour's drive in our area, mainly in Gifu Prefecture.

Bicycles are the best way to get around locally, and I believe that bike stores are very important bases that contribute to the infrastructure of the area and are meant to be local support stores. Because we have grown up in such a culture, we would like to continue manufacturing with a local-first mentality.
