Ampal x Rawhide Cycles "VULTURE" Strapback Special Projects

Ampal x Rawhide Cycles "VULTURE" Strapback Special ProjectsWe were stoked to work with Brandon and the crew at Rawhide Cycles on a collection of hats to release alongside their beautiful Born Free invited build. This hat features a bitchin' vulture design by Austin Maples. The other hats feature a slab shovel patch, meant to look like an old 60s 70s patch you'd find at a swap meet and Brandon's Elco & his chopper, Red Dog. Made in Los Angeles, CA. USA

The khaki herringbone underbrim and front lining reference the two-tone jerseys first released in 1939

This time we chose Chassis 0124 - Black "the Spare"

Davidson in 1969 to commemorate Mert Lawell's Grand National Championship win and then used in this form on the iconic 1971 FX

To me the vintage felt block letter Harley-Davidson race jerseys and sweaters are the most iconic single design in their apparel history

It seemed more appropriate than ever
