The Pilot -S is one of the caps with the most visible construction details in the catalogue: piping on the visor's front edge, sandwich on the visor (a coloured band stitched on the upper surface), contrast , piping on the closure too, and a metal buckle with metal eyelet. No other GRS cotton model in the catalogue combines all these elements at once. The comparison with the Pilot (PILO) — the catalogue's heavy brushed model in conventional cotton — clarifies the positioning: the Pilot bets everything on texture and an essential metal buckle; the PPSS adds GRS certification and brings piping, sandwich and contrast underbill to every variant.

The 80% organic + 20% recycled brushed cotton build at 100 g with recycled is the heaviest among the catalogue's GRS cotton caps — five grams more than the Pilot (95 g) and thirty grams more than the Egon (70 g). The extra weight isn't accidental: every visible construction detail requires additional material in the visor and closure build. The result is a cap that communicates constructional density at first touch.

Il cotone brushed 100g con buckram riciclato è la base di ricamo più stabile del catalogo GRS in cotone. I punti si integrano nella texture brushed con effetto premium. Frontale 12×6 cm, partenza 2 cm dal bordo visiera. Laterali 10×6 cm — ampi per loghi sui fianchi. Retro 8×3,5 cm. Chiusura 6×1,2 cm. I dettagli costruttivi (piping, sandwich) non interferiscono con le aree di ricamo.
La patch su cotone brushed GRS con piping e sandwich crea il massimo di stratificazione visiva del catalogo: il logo ricamato o in PVC si sovrappone a un cappellino che ha già quattro dettagli costruttivi visibili. Per brand che vogliono comunicare con ogni centimetro del cappellino, il PPSS è il modello di riferimento.

Six colours — khaki, black, navy, olive, red, royal — cover the most requested heritage and sporting palettes. Every variant has automatic contrast piping and underbill — the construction detail is integral, not optional. It's not the cap for anyone wanting constructional discretion: it's the cap for anyone who wants every detail to speak even before the embroidered logo.

should look elsewhere.
