The stretch fit construction gives a secure, comfortable fit without adjustment hardware, the reflective patch increases visibility in low-light conditions, and the custom graphics on the inside brim add a detail that's personal to the wearer rather than visible to everyone else.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReflective merrow edge twill patch - the graphic detail explained:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Willie G Skull is applied as a twill patch with a merrow edge - a looped overlock stitch around the perimeter of the patch that gives it a clean, finished border and a slightly raised edge that stands proud of the cap fabric. The reflective material in the patch means it returns light in low-light conditions - headlights, street lighting, and dawn\/dusk riding all activate the reflective quality, making the skull graphic visible from a distance in conditions where a standard embroidered patch would disappear into the cap. It's a practical detail on a piece of headwear that's likely to be worn on and around bikes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCustom inside brim graphics - the personal detail:\u003c\/strong\u003e The custom graphics on the inside brim are a detail that's visible to the wearer when the cap is off and to anyone who looks closely when the brim is lifted - a considered design element that rewards attention without being on display to everyone. Inside brim graphics are a premium headwear detail that references the custom and collector cap market, where the inside of the cap is treated as a canvas for branding and artwork that the wearer knows is there even when no one else can see it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e97% cotton, 3% spandex - breathable with stretch for a secure fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStretch fit construction - no adjustment hardware, consistent comfortable fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflective merrow edge twill patch - Willie G Skull with low-light visibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft-hand print detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom graphics on inside brim - personal detail visible to the wearer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContrast curved brim - clean profile with visual distinction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflective material - enhanced visibility in low-light conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoftail model line reference - a cap for Softail riders specifically\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStretch fit vs. adjustable - the construction choice:\u003c\/strong\u003e A stretch fit cap uses the elasticity of the fabric itself to conform to the head rather than relying on a snapback, slider, or buckle closure. The 3% spandex in the cotton blend gives the Softail Stretch Fit Cap enough elasticity to fit a range of head sizes securely without the pressure points that a rigid fitted cap can create. For a cap that's going to be worn under a helmet or for extended periods, the absence of adjustment hardware at the back also means no hard edges pressing against the head or catching on helmet linings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCotton-spandex blend - breathable and comfortable:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 97% cotton construction breathes well in warm conditions, and the 3% spandex gives the fabric a two-way stretch that allows the cap to move with the head rather than sitting rigid against it. For a cap worn at rallies, on riding days, and in all weather, the breathability of the cotton blend is the practical advantage over synthetic alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Softail connection - a cap for Softail riders:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Softail name on this cap is a direct reference to Harley-Davidson's Softail model line - the family of bikes that includes the Fat Boy, the Heritage Classic, the Breakout, and the Street Bob, among others. The Softail frame design, introduced in 1984, uses a hidden rear suspension system that gives the bike the clean, hardtail look of a classic motorcycle with the comfort of a modern rear shock. A cap that references the Softail line is a piece of H-D apparel with a specific model identity - it's for Softail riders, or for riders who appreciate the model's place in H-D's history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWillie G. Davidson - the designer behind the skull:\u003c\/strong\u003e Willie G. Davidson served as Harley-Davidson's VP of Styling for nearly five decades, designing the 1971 FX Super Glide - the first factory custom motorcycle - and the 1977 FXS Low Rider, among other landmark models. The Willie G Skull is his most celebrated graphic creation and one of the most recognised images in motorcycle culture worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 97% cotton, 3% spandex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGraphic:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reflective merrow edge twill patch (Willie G Skull) + soft-hand print\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInside brim:\u003c\/strong\u003e Custom graphics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrim:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contrast curved brim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stretch fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReflective:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes - patch and material detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for Softail riders, rallies, riding days, everyday wear, and as a gift for Harley riders who want the Willie G Skull in a stretch fit cap with a reflective patch and the inside brim detail that makes it more than a standard branded hat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harley-Davidson","offers":[{"title":"M","offer_id":58485604712832,"sku":"97635-26VM\/000M","price":41.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":58485604745600,"sku":"97635-26VM\/000L","price":41.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0538\/1124\/9327\/files\/97635-26VM.jpg?v=1784385773","url":"https:\/\/www.maidstonehd.co.uk\/products\/harley-davidson-mens-willie-g-skull-softail-stretch-fit-cap-reflective-patch","provider":"Maidstone Harley-Davidson","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
