Source for cycling caps
 
Looking for something like Black Bibs but that has cycling caps. Want to avoid Amazon. Budget, direct sales, USA company, basic polyester cycling cap. Is there anything out there?

Check out Walz.

I like the yellow Clement caps from eBay. They're inexpensive, but the color doesn't run. I bought a Cinelli cap from Kucharic, and it's really nice. Every once in a while, I'll run it under cold tap water and let it dry freely without wringing it out. I've had much worse luck with the Campy caps from eBay. The colors don't hold up very well.

Polyester? Cotton is the basic material. Like someone suggested, Waltz is good. I like them because they come in two sizes. I have a smallish head and the "one size fits all" can be kind of puffy on my head. And I always wear it under my helmet so a smaller one allows my helmet to not be too tight.

There’s a seller on eBay by the name of Hernandez that makes nice caps. I’ve bought 3 of them in the last 5 yrs, both wool and cotton. Nice stuff and they’ve held up well. Search cycling caps handmade on ebay and you’ll find.

Another good mfr. is Pace. Owned and made in the USA. I've only used their cotton caps but they have synthetics too and good quality. Technical Headwear – pacesportswear Search around for discounts.

OK. A little bleary eyed this morning perhaps. Snark withdrawn.

All my caps are made by Pace. They are logo'd as Ritchey, Columbus, etc. The tech fabric dries faster and is lighter.
They are $20-25 usually.

MUSA and a ton of different designs on their site.

A great source for true vintage, reproduction, hard to find and genuine caps:

You could always 3D print your own.

I want to support USA businesses. Did you not understand that?

My bad. I missed the period. My brain saw the second group of words (not really a sentence) flowing on as part of the first sentence.

Snark withdrawn.

I support your support of USA business. I, unfortunately cannot recommend any manufacturers for caps specifically, but AeroTech Designs, Voler, Pactimo, and Boure produce American-made cycling clothing. Probably others as well. Let us know what you find.

Another vote for Pace.
