Levis The Commuter Jeans

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:

  • Utility waist band – specially designed for u-lock storage
  • Higher back rise – providing additional coverage when riding
  • NanoSphere® Technology – applied to make fabric water resistant, dirt repellant and durable
  • 3M Reflectivity – 3M Scotchlite™ Reflective Tape on interior cuff offers high level of visibility
  • Sanitized® built-in hygiene function – for long-lasting protection against odors
  • Reinforced Fabric – in crotch, back pockets and belt loop for durability
  •  Performance Stretch Fabric – more stretchable for added mobility and comfort
Anyone grab a pair yet? What do you think?

OSS BMX Tee

I’ve been eying this tee for a while now, staring it right in the face and now I’m out of clean laundry. It’s late July, half my tees are consistently drenched in sweat from humidity. If you’re like me and seeking some refuge from the stale-sweat covered tees that make up the majority of your bedroom’s floor, then head over the The Come Up and support Adam and OSS. Do yourself and those around you a favor and pick one of these up, there’s nothing more underrated than a fresh tee.

ps. I do plenty of laundry.

The Footdown Owl

I forget where I first saw this but that’s besides the point; this is a rad tee shirt. Luke at The 5th Floor describes it best:

“Owls are so hoot right now. And so are bikes. So when I saw Ty’s new Footdown t-shirt land in my inbox, I got quite excited. A superb hand drawn picture of an owl stealing a pair of drop bars by Carly Davies, a very talon-ted artist.

Swoop one up now at the Footdown”

Outlier 3 Way Shorts

With the exception of this weekend, it’s been scorching here in Burlington…and by scorching, I don’t mean the fun type. It’s been hot in streets and nothing helps make days commuting and cruising ’round town on the bike better than a nice  pair of shorts. I recently picked up some nice golf shorts that breathe and dry quickly, but if I had the skrill I’d spring for a pair of these Outlier 3-ways: US made and damn good looking. Click to see more and if you’re in NYC, snag a pair at Chari & Co.

Rapha Galibier Jersey

Rapha Galibier Jersey

Need some new cycling garments for the summer? Rapha just released their Limited Edition Galibier Jersey.

From Rapha:

“Have they not wings, our men who have been able to climb up to heights where even eagles don’t fly? … in the presence of this giant we can but doff our cap and bow very low.”
– Henri Desgrange

The Rapha Galibier Jersey is a commemorative piece that features details such as a brevet-style badge, appliquéd typography on the chest, ribbed collar and cuffs and a story label recounting Henri Desgrange’s impressions of this sacred mountain, which was first scaled by riders of the Tour de France 100 years ago. The Tour will climb it twice this year in honour of the centenary.

Blotto’s got an outerwear line out with Analog for this season. Check it out here.

Here’s what the man’s got to say:

“For the 2011 Analog Collection, I was asked to contribute to The PLA Series. This ‘Permanent Light Archive’ is designed to showcase the photographic work of Analog team riders, artists and friends.

For my part, I contributed snowy images to be printed as the lining of the Alkaline jacket, a fleece hoodie and some long sleeves t-shirts with the images screen-printed on the front of the garments.

The chosen images depict powder filled days, riding the chairlifts with your buddies and leaving your tracks through that fresh powder. That’s what snowboarding is all about!”

I heard Sunday River’s blowing snow already, so get your gear tuned up, throw the studs on the bike and get ready for winter!
