Cycling Cap Headdy Icons Mapei #2 cycling cap from original jersey

The cycling cap Headdy Icons Mapei #2 is part of an exclusive selection of 11 unique pieces, created through the recovery of original vintage cycling jerseys. Each item has been cut, worked and sewn to transform a piece of cycling history into a new, unrepeatable accessory full of identity. The project was born from the idea of giving new life to technical materials now out of production, enhancing the colors, graphics, sponsors and details that belong to the most iconic imagery of cycling.

The story of Team Mapei and Paolo Bettini

The Mapei jersey didn’t need to be sober. It needed to win. And it won. On the cobblestones of Roubaix, on the ramps of Flanders, in the finales of the great classics: Team Mapei was for almost a decade the team to beat. Those colored geometric fragments blue, orange, green, yellow were always visible at the front, in the moments that matter. One of those men was Paolo Bettini: the Grillo from Cecina was not the most powerful rider in the peloton, but he knew where to attack and when. Wearing this jersey he won Lige-Bastogne-Lige in 2000. Then came the Olympic gold in Athens and two consecutive world titles.

Artisan upcycling: an original jersey transformed into a cycling cap

This jersey was cut and resewn, not to make a replica, but to give it a second life. The colors are the original ones, the logos are the original ones, the fabric is the one that went racing. A upcycling project that combines sporting memory, craftsmanship and contemporary style: not a simple vintage reinterpretation, but a concrete way to transform the past into something to wear today. Every cycling cap preserves different fragments of the original jersey: that’s why no model is the same as another.
