Override x Fuji Bicycles Low Pro Bike Caps

Simon Taylor, a founding member of London based creative agency TOMATO, has connected with Japan's Override and Fuji Bicycles for a select run of "Low Pro" Bike Caps. Each cap is made with basic cotton twill and features custom, graphic prints on the front panels and top brims. All crowns are cut shorter than usual for a full, slope fit to the head and roughly 2 inch brims. These low pro caps have elastic back straps for a wide range of head sizes. You can buy these special caps now through Arth Hat Stores located in Costa Mesa and NYC.
