🔥 From the Floor to the Factory: The Journey of a ZeeCap
Share
Let’s take it back — Los Angeles, 2011.
Zee — also known as Bboy Zero — was deep in the scene. Training, battling, and doing what dancers do best: observing, learning, creating.
During one of those sessions, he spotted a dancer wearing a cap with a patch of spin material stitched to the top. It caught his eye — but something didn’t sit right.
“Damn… that’s actually kinda smart. But it doesn’t look good.
Maybe I can do it better.”
That moment sparked something. Not a brand — not yet — but an idea:
What if you could create gear that actually respected the movement?
🧢 Design Born in the Cypher
Zee brought the idea home to his mom — a seasoned seamstress — and told her what he had in mind. Instead of making the cap for him, she said:
“Let me show you how to sew.”
And just like that, a collaboration was born. They didn’t have a workshop. No blueprint. Just a living room, some spin fabric, and a shared love for creating something real.
That birthday in 2011, Zee made the very first ZeeCap — for himself, by hand, with his mom guiding each step.
From the beginning, it wasn’t just about a cap. It was about answering real questions dancers ask without even saying a word:
- How do I glide without losing control?
- Can I train longer without discomfort?
- Can I protect my head without sacrificing style?
- Can I wear something that actually speaks me?
Every answer was built into the fabric — trial, error, and love for the art.
🧠 From One Cap to a Full Vision
People noticed. They asked. They wanted their own.
Zee didn’t stop with one cap. He got better. Sharper.
Before long, he was turning all kinds of hats — bucket hats, 5-panels, hybrids — into breakdance-ready gear.
He created new styles like the Ninja Zee, and became known for his love of:
- 🎨 Bold colors
- 🌀 Individuality
- 😄 Fun and freedom in design
Now, he can take practically any style of hat and flip it into something made for motion.
Zee doesn’t just sew. He customizes the culture.
🌍 A Global Journey, Still Personal
Later, Zee relocated to Germany — but the work came with him.
The mission didn’t pause. It leveled up.
He brought the tools, the vision, and the fire straight into a new space where ZeeCaps could grow while staying real.
🏠 Made in the Break Cabin
Today, every single ZeeCap is still handmade in our workshop:
The Break Cabin, based in Bremen, Germany.
It’s a small, family-run operation with big respect for craftsmanship and community. No factories. No middlemen. Just us.
Each cap goes through:
- ✂️ Careful material selection (only the best — no shortcuts)
- 🧵 Hand-cutting and stitching
- 🧢 Custom logo or graphic placement
- ✅ Final inspection to make sure it’s battle-ready
Why go through all that?
Because you can feel the difference when someone actually cares.
❤️ From Our Hands to Your Head
When a ZeeCap leaves the Break Cabin, it’s not just a product — It’s a piece of culture.
Built by dancers, for dancers.
No inflated prices, no cut corners. Just real gear made by real people, shipped directly from our hands to your head.
We keep the prices fair because we cut out everything that doesn’t matter. No middleman. No warehouses. Just love, skill, and respect for the movement.
🙌 A Cap That Carries Culture
A ZeeCap is more than fabric and thread.
It carries:
- A community
- A legacy
- A moment on the floor
- A commitment to keeping breakdance raw, expressive, and real
So next time you throw down in a ZeeCap, know this:
You’re not just spinning in style — you’re continuing a story that started with one idea, a birthday, and a cap made in a living room in L.A.
