Supreme version
About the original
The Castelli Cycling Skull Cap is a lightweight under-helmet bandana made by Castelli, the Italian cycling apparel manufacturer founded in Treviso in 1876 as a tailor and reorganized as a cycling brand in 1974. The Castelli production version uses the company's ProSecco Strada multi-denier polyester knit, weighs roughly 29 grams, and is sublimation-printed in a single size with a rear tie closure designed to sit flat under a road helmet. The Supreme SS20 release applies an all-over orange Castelli graphic with a Supreme box logo above the brow, but the construction, fabric, and fit are the same Castelli skull cap sold to professional and amateur road cyclists.
About Castelli
Castelli is an Italian cycling apparel manufacturer tracing its origins to an 1876 Milan tailoring shop run by Vittore Gianni, which clothed football clubs including Milan and Juventus and cyclists including Alfredo Binda. Armando Castelli joined in 1935 and bought the business, supplying Gino Bartali, Fausto Coppi, and Jacques Anquetil. In 1974 his son Maurizio Castelli founded the current company under the scorpion logo, and in 1977 introduced Lycra to cycling shorts — a first in the sport. Castelli now outfits UCI WorldTour teams including Soudal Quick-Step and produces the Gabba jersey line. Supreme has released co-branded Castelli cycling apparel.
