Classic Fuji. Walz caps - I have a few extra S/M
I recently had a run of Classic style Fuji. caps produced by Walz. There was a minimum nunber so I have a few extra beyond my need. I am not even looking to cover cost, if anyone wants one $20 shipped and it is yours. They are fantastic! The size is S/M so those with large noggins are out of luck. They fit me just fine. By far the best quality caps I have encountered. Two light blue, one kelly green and one khaki.

For those considering one and who haven’t had the pleasure of wearing a Walz cap before, I can +1 this. I bought one from Rene Herse a few years back and haven’t been able to bring myself to buy another cap since (until now), fearing that any other will be far lesser quality compared to these.

I'll take a blue cap. (Best match to my long gone metalic grey Fuji Pro and likewise to my ti current favorite ride.) If the poster above changes his mind, I'll take the biege also.
The old 1976 Fuji caps were really good! White, I never rode much with a cap but off the bike they are a real help with sunglasses and sun. I will always have a place in my heart for Fuji. That Pro fit! and otherwise stayed out of the way while I raced my best year at a level I didn't know was possible for this body.

PMed for the green.
Great idea having some simple retro caps done up. I'd like to get a few different ones done.

Too small for me but I took a look at the website. I need to buy one of the merino wool caps for this winter.

My last Walz was a wool Yehuda Moon (Remember him?) one. It accidently got machine washed and dried and no longer fit. I think the moths got it and I wasn't too disappointed by that point. Looking forward to trying one of their cotton ones, which I imagine will hold their size fine.
