The Messenger 841 cap was created in collaboration with NYC foot messenger, author, and photographer Kurt Boone, the founder and creator of Messenger 841 to celebrate his latest book "Global Flair: The Style of Cycling Caps."
Inspired by the urban streetwear style of messenger culture, these caps highlight the iconic accessory that has become a staple in bike and foot messenger culture.
Celebrate the Global Flair of the cycling cap.
"Cyclists wear them for many different reasons, from functionality to straight out fashion looks. I fell in love with cycling caps from an early age from watching the Tour De France on television in the 1970's. But I didn't actually own a cycling cap myself until I was in my early 50's. As I attended more messenger culture events and races I become fascinated by how popular cycling caps were. So I began photographing cyclists asking many of them to give me their best looks. Thus creating exciting visual record on the global flair of the cycling cap. " - Kurt Boone
