Any interest in a Paceline cycling cap?

[jmoore]

I have done a few sets of custom cycling caps. I just got my last round out the door this week. The caps were 3 panel summer weight caps made by Walz (a Blue Skewer member) and everyone loves them. They are super comfortable and finished with the typical Walz high quality.

I have spoken to the mods and been given the green light to do a round of Paceline caps, if there is enough interest. I don't have a final design worked up yet, but I'm liking this retro Renault cap, but with the Paceline in place of Renault and a few other minor tweaks (maybe a banana)

http://content.prendas.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/small_image/400x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/2/0/20121004-renault-retro-cotton-cycling-cap_2.jpg

Barring that, we could just keep it very simple using black, white and yellow and do simple stripes over the top with the Paceline maybe on the brim and sides.

Pricing would likely be in the $21-23 range shipped. This would include a $1/cap donation to the site.

If you are interested, please let me know and I'll get it done. I need probably 2 dozen confirmed orders to make the pricing work. Turnaround from approved design is approx 6 weeks, so these would be delivered in Sept sometime.


PS - The designs are just my first throw out there. I hesitate to open this wide open to a design contest, but I'm open to design suggestions

[FastforaSlowGuy]

Like.

[tiretrax]

Count me in - although you know that already. I vote for the castelli, and I'll introduce you to the local guy.

[ik2280]

I'd buy one for sure.

[Elefantino]

[jmoore]

If you are a graphic designer and would be willing to do the legwork on the design, it would lower the cost significantly. I have a graphic designer but she charges $40/hour. Getting all this ready would take at least 4-5 hours so it would be a significant cost savings to have that work done in-house, so to speak.

I have reached out to Walz to see what they charge for design work but haven't heard back yet.

[dawgie]

Wouldn't a yellow dancing banana just get lost on a yellow cap? :banana:

[buldogge]

I'm in...

I prefer the Renault homage....would look good/simple/bold/slightly different than the sea of world stripe caps out there.

Please let's have the graphic on BOTH sides of the bill (pet peeve).

The template graphic work is pretty simple AI stuff...I could do it if someone who really knows what they are doing can't.

Doesn't Walz only print on pre-determined/select styles in cotton, or full print in microfiber??

[jmoore]

All right then. This idea seems to have some merit. We have a dozen or so "i'll take one" comments. We need at least a dozen more.

To reduce the back and forth, I am going to make some executive decisions.

1. The cap will be a three panel cap from Walz. I will see what the options as far as microfiber vs cotton blend are.
2. Cap design will be an homage to the Renault cap in black, yellow and white.
3. There will be simple Paceline logos on both sides of the brim and likely both sides of the cap.
4. There will be a small banana somewhere.

I would be in for one. Maybe a bad question but does Walz do specific sizing or one size fits all? I have found that one size fits all in regards to cycling clothing means it fits anyone under 170lbs, which I am not!

[ceolwulf]

I am likewise in for one providing I can get a size for my Massive Melon.

Walz offers two sizes: S/M and L/XL


Walz sizing here:
http://www.walzcaps.com/caps_moisturewicking.html


FWIW, I wear a 7 3/8 hat and I can wear a Small/Medium with no issue. Due to the construction, a L/XL fits me fine as well. It's just a bit looser.

[Dead Man]

Sign me up... S/M por favor.

[AngryScientist]

thanks for taking this on. i'm definitely in.

[Dead Man]

And I really like cotton for a cap, BTW... you wont find another stitch of cotton on me, but I do like a cotton hat.

[Elefantino]

I believe a small banana at the back of the cap would be apropos.

[jmoore]

17 so far. Getting closer.

If we can get to 50, then we can donate $2/cap to the site.

[krhea]

Renault is vintage cool, do it...the banana take me outta the purchase.

[gasman]

I'll take 2. I prefer cotton but not a deal killer.

[jmoore]

we can vote on the banana later


personally I don't care for it but it's going to be small (<1") so it will be unobtrusive if it is there.

[Ahneida Ride]

ok I'm in for one ....

Prefer all cotton ... if we can do it ....

need a :banana:

[firerescuefin]

Hey J.

First off, thanks for the legwork.

I'd love something simple, preferably black.

Know you're getting more input than you ever need.......BUT

If you threw out a few options, one that checked the box for the multi color Banana/Renault crowd....and one that appealed to the more conservative with a minimum pre-paid buy in to trigger the order for either, and if we don't reach the number it doesn't get ordered.

Just a thought.

Thanks,

Geoff

[Lugger]

Sure, what the heck. What does a 59cm helmet size translate to in hat size? Probably a large, right?

[Dead Man]

Yea, the banana was what sold me... must have banana.

[chuckroast]

[jmoore]

The problem with two cap designs is it doubles the minimums and doubles the work for the graphic designer. And it injects more confusion into the discussion.

So we will stick with one cap design for now. If we get good response then we can do another round of something less vintage in the next round.

[Veloo]

I'd take one too.

I have 3 Walz caps bought this past Mar at the bike show.
1 winter wool with ear flaps
1 thin wool (like suit material) - very classy looking
1 moisture wicking material

All quality products.

[jmoore]

That's a small/medium. Same helmet size as me. But either size will fit. I have some melon heads who ordered my other caps and no one has complained about l/xl being too tight.

http://redkiteprayer.com/2010/12/the-cycling-cap-2/

Like RKP says- real caps are 4 panel and short bill.
The real deal caps are made by Apis in Italy.
One size, don't fit big heads all that well.
Minimums are large- like 10 dozen.
But caps should be bought 4 at once- not 1.
When a cap is faded' worn looking, etc.- replace.
Also, caps tend to lose it when washed. Another reason to buy multiples.
Just throw away anything tatty.
You can get Apis caps through Vermarc or Giordana.

[kurto]

I'll take one. Thanks for taking this on.

[DarkStar]

I'm good for one.

[ctcyclistbob]

I'll take one also.

[cbresciani]

I'd be interested in one for sure, maybe 2.

[jmoore]

Fully custom cotton - different color panels and brim + silk screened graphics - require 50 caps. By the time the caps are produced we will be moving towards fall, so cotton might be preferable.

Plus, I like cotton!

We are at 30 as of this morning. That's enough to get something made.

I am talking to the guy from Walz today. We will see what they can do in cotton and silkscreen.



PS - We still could use a graphic designer

[bikerboy337]

I'm in for a hat... unfortunately i'm not a graphic designer...

[buldogge]

Jason…This is simple graphics…Walz will send you a template…use AI and add the lettering and simple banana graphic. We will need the font and/or vector files of the desired Paceline "logo" and a vector file of the banana graphic.

Renault files here, if we want to work off that type: http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/search/logo?search_api_views_fulltext=renault

The 'RENAULT' lettering provides everything we need other than having to modify/build into a 'C' (probably using the 'E') and lightly modding the 'L' to 'I'.

OK…The font on the cap shown is simply Helvetica Neu Condensed Bold…the old Renault-Elf-Gitane font is harder, this one is close…shown in both all caps (as was Renault, then) and normal:

[FastforaSlowGuy]

I'm "meh" on the banana. Sorta kills the retro look. My $0.02.

[jmoore]

The banana is definitely a divisive element. We are going to lose a few orders whichever way we go.

[FastforaSlowGuy]

The banana is definitely a divisive element. We are going to lose a few orders whichever way we go.

I'm okay either way (provided the banana is appropriately small and not center stage in the design). And I'll echo the votes in favor of cotton. It's the only cotton I ever wear riding, but I prefer it in my caps.

[buldogge]

Crappy banana jpg…could be used on the underside of the bill as a standalone…could be centered on the back of the cap as a standalone, or could be used as an accent, as here (scale could be changed obviously)…

-Mark

[jmoore]

Here is what I was thinking. Very small, maybe 2cm tall at the most. I like the back placement best.

Hear, hear.

How are we paying? Site paypall address?

[jmoore]

Hear, hear.

How are we paying? Site paypall address?


This is the enthusiasm we all need! But please sit tight.

I need a final count and cost from Walz. Then I will make the call out for payments. I will also need proper names and addresses.

I have a paypal and square account. We will use those when the time comes.

[sparky33]

ditto.
most caps squeeze my bulbous head so that I am left with red perma-band around my forehead for the rest of the day. Looks awesome especially when I have to associate with the non-cycling public (those people).

Also I noticed on the first page (didn't read through every single page) that you could use services of a graphic designer to reduce costs and make the caps cheaper. PM me if you still need help. No offence taken if you don't need my help though.

And it goes without saying that if you do choose to take up my offer I will still make full payment for the cap.

Still need a dancing banana vector (or maybe a BIG png/jpg)…

[jmoore]

We are doing great with the "I'll take one's" We are at 42 so far. There are always some stragglers who want one after they are all shipped, so I'll surely order a few extras.

Final pricing depends on the setup fees for silk screening, taxes, + shipping. Ultimately I'd like to have the caps made in yellow and white material so we don't have to silk-screen that much yellow onto a base white cap.

If we get to 50, then the base pricing drops by $1/cap. If we make it, then I am going to leave the pricing as is and donate $2/cap to the site instead of $1/cap.

Pricing should still be in the $21-23 range as best I can calculate.

[jmoore]

One minor design tweak request. Can we offset the white stripes in the black on top? Sort of like this.

We need a few more to get to 50. We should hopefully have a final design shortly. The font is getting updated to match the header. Once that's done we will post a final design and start the payment process and getting final counts.

As an incentive, I will throw in a Recovered Saddle Belgian Hand Warmer ( kooozie) for everyone who orders more than one cap.

We need to get this design finalized so I can get it rolling with Walz before I go on vacation in early August. There has been a request by the site mods for a font change to match the header. This needs to be done. Keith A has the font details.

If buldogge or jimmy-moots are paying attention, PLEASE CHECK YOUR IM's and reply to Keith. I would like to get an updated design posted and the order counts finalized this week.

Please. Pretty please. With sugar on top.

[buldogge]

I haven't heard from Keith…

Looks like a common font (a little too common, IMHO), so we would just need the name.

If it actually a created font then send it along…

No offense…but…I don't think we're dealing with brand recognition here…is there a deep need to use the same font??? This kinda kills the whole retro "renault" thing…no?

Please check your PMs

The whole idea when it was proposed to the mods was that it was exactly to include some form of brand recognition

Otherwise, what is the point of a Paceline hat?

And no, in my opinion, it doesn't kill the retro thing - that's projected by the design of the panels and stripes

We are perilously close to 50. Only one more! But we can still use more as a buffer to the few that will inevitably drop out for one reason or another.

Also - I also definitely like the Renault font, FWIW. But I'll buy either way. So long's there's a happy ass banana on 'em.

I will keep taking orders until the design is finalized and we have confirmation from Walz. But we are over 50 now so will have full flexibility with design and material.

So cotton it is. 3 panel. Well done everyone. Keep the orders coming

There should be a design posted shortly that hopefully will satisfy everyone. Retro design, Paceline font and URL, and (hopefully) our own, beloved, banana guy.

Gotta have the banana for me to buy one! :cool:

[jmoore]

BBDave is on it. He said that he would take a crack at it this weekend. So hopefully on Monday/Tuesday we will have something.

Specs:
custom 3 panel cotton cap from Walz
Silkscreened with their upgraded, soft feel ink
Paceline header copy and URL in Paceline font
approx 2cm tall banana center back
Paceline URL, possibly on the underside of the brim
retro Renault styling


Next steps:
1. Post final design
2. Verify final pricing
3. I will need the following information from everyone BEFORE THE CAPS ARE ORDERED.
Screen Name
Name
Mailing address, city, state, zip
email address
cap size
payment - I can take Paypal or you can mail me a check

OK men and women. The mods have spoken and here is the design we are going with. This is a mockup and there will be some minor mods to accommodate the Walz template but it will be essentially the same as this. We all need to be thankful to Nate (netdewt) for his work on this. It is no small task, I can assure you.

It has been pointed out that the URL needs to be corrected already. That will happen.

If you have more design suggestions, then feel free to keep them to yourself. Consider the design closed. Either you want it or you don't. Personally I love it and will be happy to wear it.

Looks nice and waltz caps are awesome so I'll take one too

[jmoore]

Nate is moving the design onto the Walz templates. I will then forward to Walz and obtain final pricing. Once that is complete, I will then start taking orders.


Be prepared with your USD and Paypal accounts.

Looks really cool.

Will they have the XL/stretchy size for big domed people? (Hat sizes 7 7/8+)?

The final template has been sent to Walz for pricing. Once I have that, I will post it and get final counts and begin taking payments.

netdewt (Nate) did a huge amount of work on this cap. An assessment will be added to the price of each cap to be able to give him a free cap for his efforts. It is a small token of appreciation. Very small.

We have over 60 orders, which is excellent!

The Walz template is a flat page with individual cutout pieces.

The URL on the cap is what the mods requested.



Paging Keith A to this post please.

[Keith A]

Yep, www.thepaceline.net is what should be used as the URL.

[AJosiahK]

Plus one

[jmoore]

Double post alert!

I posted a thread about this but I'm posting here too.

I need someone to test the ordering process for the cap. Shoot me an IM and I'll get you the link to the page. We'll go from there.

Please and thank you.

[Keith A]

It's time to get in on the purchase of the caps. We need to hit the 50 piece point to get the caps at the listed price. See this thread for the details

We've hit our minimum 50 count, but today is the last day to place your order. See the link above for the purchase information.
