Before Goorin got their hands on this style, Bike Caps were worn exclusively by cycling racing teams, usually in Europe, as official/regulation headgear. Early on, Goorin saw the possibilities. Why should a bunch of guys scaling the Pyrenees have all the fun?! Closely fitted to the head, with a lighter feel and trimmer profile than it’s cousin the Baseball Cap, this style affords its wearer a greater vehicle for self expression - and affords our artful designers a great vehicle for their creativity with its many panels and flip-up or flip-down brim.
To be fair, cycling caps are a greater vehicle for self expression. You can let people know you are a tenderloin, and that you like anchors. Surely there is nothing gay about that.
you guys are aware that the tenderloin in SF would make a lot of you want to run for your mommas?
Australia cant really do ghettos like some of the major US cities (let alone some of the 3rd world countries) but in my time passing through that town i’ll say i saw some heavy shit go down in the TL. for reference its the bowery (NYC) of SF.
nothing like watching dudes throw needles at each other or vomit and hit a crack pipe almost simultaneously. both in plain view.
i seem to remember it being known for cheap hookers (of all types/gnders/nonspecific genders) - so this might be where the reference starts.
