All of our cotton caps are made in Italy and are a "one size fits all". In reality, they fit the vast majority of people well but those above a 60cm will struggle.
It is also worth noting that although the cap itself can be machine washed (at 30 degrees), the peaks and ribbons of some caps are more delicate than others.
Therefore in Prendas` extensive experience, the longevity of cotton caps increases with careful hand washing in cold water with mild washing detergent used. The La Vie Claire caps in particular with the original 1980's Tyvek ribbon is only suitable for a cold hand wash only.
We have written a blog article about washing a cotton cycling cap to help you avoid a disaster!
Although the red/white/green colour scheme is usually associated with all things Italian, the La Casera team was 100% Spanish.
All the riders during it's existence in the early 70's were Spanish as was co-director Frederico Bahamontes, the 1959 Tour de France winner and climbing legend.
Although the team didn't win anything like a monument, they took stages in both the Giro and Tour, and impressive King of the Mountains prizes in Vuleta and Tour.
This cap nicely complements the stunning team La Casera Bahamontes retro jersey. We particularly like the green detail around the rim of the visiera.
