Brooklyn Chewing Gum Custom Fitteds from Attica Jailhouse
Attica Jailhouse has recently finished up two custom fitted caps that pay homage to the famous 70's cycling team, Brooklyn Chewing Gum. The actual Brooklyn Chewing Gum product is originally from Lainate Italy and dates back to the late 40’s. In 1973, the company formed a cycling team that included cyclists such as Roger De Vlaeminck, who won four Paris-Roubaix plus many other victories and Patrick Sercu. For this custom, Attica really does it up by incorporating the classic stripes from the jersey on to the visor and the use of their primary royal color for the crowns. The first one features a die-cut B and the second sports a printed felt patch. These are great fitted pieces inspired by one the most influential pro cycling jerseys. Hit Attica up to see if these gems are available for sale.
