We just got in our restock of hand tailored Outlier cycling caps in suit and waxed cotton fabric. The suit fabric caps come in black and gray while the waxed comes in a safari like brown and green. The caps are all hand made in New York and come in different fitted sizes. They would do a classy dome justice whether you are just biking to the docks or to a business meeting. Come grab one for yourself or as a stocking stuffer.
We just received our first shipment from Cadence. The collection looks great and prices are very fair too.

My 2nd stop in Los Angeles was Swrve. They are the go to cycling clothing company, especially for these cold Boston winters. I was able to tour where Muriel and Matt, the creators of Swrve, conceive, sew and ship out their clothing line.
(Sorry the photo is out of focus guys. Guess the camera can’t keep it’s eyes off the Swrve merchandise either!) 
It’s amazing what can happen a couple of stories up in a tiny office building. At Swrve headquarters, packed in were bolts of fabric, thread, sowing machines, drafting tables, computers, and aisles filled with boxes of merchandise. Matt showed me some new fabrics that he has just picked up himself for their new cycling caps. The new caps are very classy, consisting of flannels, houndstooth, and classic suit patterns. One of the cycling caps even has a cashmere mix for the discerning cyclist.
(The cashmere cap is on the left. I would definitely pick one up.)
They are always coming out with new fabrics and cuts, which is why I am not surprised that they have to keep expanding. I was able to get a sneak peak at some of the new prototypes, which I’m sure will be amazing once they finally are produced.
Here are some photos of their headquarters and all the goodies inside. You should stop in and say hi, especially to sift through the boxes of amazing clothing!
