Belldorado Cycling Cap - J-Bar

The Belldorado J-Bar is a cycling cap with much more history than first meets the eye. The design draws on koinobori—the Japanese carp streamers—and J-Bar, a Japanese izakaya in Munich where Belldorado’s founder worked. The result feels more like a small piece of cycling culture than just another logo on a brim.

The hand-drawn graphic is based on J-Bar’s original signage and motto. The white, dark blue, and red colour palette takes inspiration from traditional Japanese tenugui towels, while the carp design runs across the cap’s panels and continues around the sides. The J-Bar name sits at the back, and the text also appears beneath the folded-up brim—exactly the kind of details that make Belldorado caps fun even when your bike is at home.

The cap has a classic three-panel construction and is made from a polyester and cotton blend. The elastic edge gives it a flexible fit, and the 56–59 cm size works for most people. It’s thin enough to wear under a helmet, but works just as well on its own before or after a ride.

Belldorado designs its cycling caps in Munich and has Apis sew and screen print them in Italy. J-Bar is a great example of why we like the brand: a small, nerdy design with a real story behind it, made for people who appreciate cycling apparel with a bit of personality.
