As a big fan of Cadence, I’m always excited to see some new threads available from them. They just released a Bamboo Henley Shirt in couple styles now available online – check it out! Looks to be a great base layer, plus it’s moisture wicking. Been wearing my Eleven hoody on the daily, maybe it’s time for a tee?

The Outlier Woolback OG pant is essentially a merino wool lined version of their already stellar Classic OG pant. If you’re searching for a sharp-looking pant that’ll keep those legs a little warmer through your winter commute, have a look at the Woolback OG’s. The price (as usual) is a bit steep, but before you balk make sure to read-up on story, fabric and details behind these pants. 100% made in NYC, these pants are equipped with Nanosphere tech – which helps as a self-cleaning fabric for when things get moist (rain, snow etc…) and have a ton of R/D behind them as all Outlier products do.
I’d love to put a pair up against a Vermont winter – but as mentioned earlier, they’re a little out of my price-range at the moment.
To purchase a pair, head over to the Outlier store and browse the rest of their collection.

Spotted this at Cork Grips and decided you need to add this to your winter cycling wish list. These festive long sleeve cycling jerseys come from Hackney GT and are made of coolmax – a performance polyester. They feature a full-zip front and 3 hidden pockets in the rear. Don’t you want one?

Rule the storm with the new Outlier Storm King Parka:
The Storm King Parka is built around our Supermarine® Cotton, a 21st century edit to a nearly forgotten World War II fabric. You can think of it as the pinnacle of cotton technology, highly breathable, extremely water resistant and completely windproof. It can only be made using the longest staple Egyptian cotton fiber, woven together in a dense weave that swells up and seals when exposed to water.

Engineered exclusively for Rapha in Italy, this denim is an evolution in functional fabric being robust, flexible and fast-drying. Cut for comfort with a standard straight-leg fit, details include an inner reflective logo and high-vis pink binding and a reinforced rear pocket for a compact D-lock.
Rapha also did a 50/50 test of different denims, read all about the story behind these jeans here.
So about a month ago I received a pair of Levi’s Commuter Jeans in the mail and was eager to see how they stood up to current quiver of pants. Despite the warm July and August temperatures here in Burlington, I still found those cooler days when wearing jeans made sense. Plus, the nights have been cooling off pretty quickly over the past couple weeks, giving me the perfect opportunity to test the reflective inner lining out.
My first impression riding in these was that they were a little stiffer than most of my other pants (maybe it’s because I haven’t worn denim in a while), but after a few days of my daily commute and errands I found them to break-in like your favorite baseball glove. They hold their shape well and the added height in the back of the waist is a nice touch. Definitely a fan, thanks Levi’s!

It’s nice to see two NYC clothing companies like Outlier and Mishka coming together on a simple and sharp looking shirt:
Detailed with MИШKA branded 20 ligne buttons, 1/4″ top-stitching, our classic “storm flap” chest pocket and double button adjustable cuffs. The fabric is perfectly pattern matched and the Pivot Sleeve gives you a tailored fit with a full range of movement. Let’s just say that more than a couple of us are sporting them here at the office. Available in Gray Plaid, Purple Plaid, and Red/Blue Plaid.
Snatch yours for the fall here.

I’m really liking theses tee shirt designs coming from Life Behind Bars. When’re they available? I’d love to pick one up.

I got a pair of the new Levi’s Commuter jeans in the mail the other day and so far am really impressed! I’ve been wearing these for the past two days, working and doing my regular commuting/errands and I’m really starting to appreciate the small cycling-specific details the more I ride them. The integrated U-lock holster makes stashing the Mini-Evo even easier. Speaking of stashing things, there’s a zipper pocket above the two back pockets for keeping whatever fits comfortably. The stretch and extra length come in handy as well as the reflective seams; I felt a little safer cruising intersections last night. I also find the extra height in the back of the waist to be nice especially while riding. So far I’m having good feelings about the new Commuter line from Levi’s. I’ll let you know what I think in another week after they break-in a bit.

I’ve been eying The Commuter line by Levi’s for a while now, watching it come together and it looks like their new 511-based Commuter Jean is gonna be a winner. Just look at all these well-thought out features:
