Constructed from a soft and durable Ponti woven New Zealand Merino wool.

Features include: a touring-style rear zippered pocket, extended sleeves to ensure coverage, scalloped cuffs, raw-edge construction, and a semi- fitted hood.

Outlier: Liberated Wool Peacoat

Outlier is steady dropping great winter time clothes. Liberated Wool Peacoat is one of those. I am digging the grey color and wish I had a holiday trip going on this year, so I could justify buying it (LA all winter baby). Very stylish, and a great looking jacket. I'm jelly of you northern folks this year.

Details:
A classic wool peacoat reengineered for a life of freedom. We've always loved vintage navy peacoats, there is nothing better for walking around town on a cold wet winter morning. Problem is, the traditional fabric is so constrictive you can barely reach a subway straphanger in one, let alone get comfortable riding your bike. The Liberated Wool Peacoat keeps the classic peacoat aesthetics but uses an innovative cut and a 2.5 layer wool softshell fabric to create a cool weather jacket fit for motion and comfort.

The Liberated Wool fabric has a beautiful yarn-dyed wool outer face and soft fleece interior. Holding them together is a water and wind resistant polyurethane bond. The result is a warm fabric with the sharp looks of quality wool, the soft flexibility of fleece and the breathable weather resistance that only the Swiss can architect.

Made in NYC using yarn dyed Swiss fabric and custom Corozo buttons. High buttoned collar and merino/nylon inner cuffs for warmth. Perfectly pitched three piece sleeve and modulated back pleat for superior arm movement. Dolomite Blazed Cotton seam binding tape. Cut true to size.

Forazter: Rawdents 2011

Our friends at Forazter laced a few of us from Chubby Boob with their new fall line of T-shirts. Forazter is out of Riverside, CA (Chubby Boob Homeland), so anytime there is an event involving either one of the companies, both squads show up to show support. Safety in Numbers. Ha! Really though, it's nice to have support from fellow companies, both trying to make it the best way we can. Thanks to Forazter for the shirts, I'll rock them with pride.

Outlier: Soft Core Wool Vest

Vests, I love a good vest. Looks our friends at Outlier have the perfect vest for fall. The Soft Core Wool Vest, makes me want to be in the woods in the Northwest... Soon.

Details:
Wide range warmth without overheating. The Outlier Soft Core Wool Vest. Traditional winter insulation is often too hot for switching between indoor and outdoor activity. With this vest we pair three well considered layers of highly breathable insulation with a trim cut to create a drier, more comfortable way to stay warm.

A soft core of knit superfine New Zealand merino for an always comfortable body climate. An outer face of wool flannel for outdoor performance and sharp looks. Sandwiched in between is a 120 gram Primaloft Infinity continuous filament insulation. Unlike most insulations Infinity does not clump and it does not migrate, allowing us to use dramatically more breathable fabrics and create a more comfortable form of warmth. A standout piece from our Fall ’11 collection, the Soft Core Wool Vest. Made in the SF Bay

Outlier: Fall 2011: In a Technical Nature

Fall is upon us. Shorter days, long nights, awesome fall/ winter riding while wrapped cozy gear. I love this time of year, even in LA, where the changes are sutble. Ain't nothing like riding all bundled up and ready for action. Haha! Outlier is dropping their Fall line. Check it out here.

Details:
There is a place where nature and technology intertwine like lovers to create something new. Cottons twist around nylons, wools bond to fleeces, artificial down is layered between wool knits and wovens, nanotech dosed nylons are modeled after lotus leaves, cottons are engineered so tightly they become water barriers.

At Outlier we want to create the future of clothing; to get there nature and technology must overcome their age old conflicts and weave into one. Outlier Fall 2011: In A Technical Nature.

Outlier: Pivotal Bomber Jacket

Outlier drops a new fall jacket on us today. The Pivotal Bomber Jacket. One of these days, I'll be dipped in outlier gear. I think I'll have to move to really enjoy it.


Details from Outlier:
Sometimes something makes so much sense it falls together almost on it's own. We always knew that our 4season fabric we use in the OG Pants and Climbers would make for a great jacket material; combined with our patent pending Pivot Sleeve, you'd have a full freedom of movement. What we didn't know was that the result would make for the quintessential traveling jacket. Wrinkle resistant and self cleaning, this jacket looks good no matter where it goes. A versatile softshell ready to take the world over, the Outlier Pivotal Bomber carries you through both day and night. It's our go-to piece for the unpredictable fall weather.

The Swiss made Doubleweave Twill fabric is designed to maximize breathability while still maintaining water and wind resistance. Self-cleaning NanoSphere® technology ensures that light rain and snow will just roll right off, as will red wine, honey and a whole lot of grime. The soft inner face of the doublewoven fabric creates a three dimensional meshwork that minimizes skin contact. This means it stays comfortable even as you sweat, a jacket built for the widest range of action and temperatures. The Patent Pending Pivot Sleeve design and four way stretch allow for maximum freedom of movement. Tailored performance for any adventure.

Finished off with a Riri zipper, nylon cuffs and collar, an inside zip pocket, snap collar closure and a expanding cigarette arm pocket with self locking clasp to keep what you need in place. Beautifully sewn in the garment district in New York City.

Yanco & Tracko: Summer Caps aka Feather Weights

You know me and hats by now and Kyle knows the key to my heart. The Armani Grey Linen and Orange Streak linen summer caps are about to be the newest members of my Tracko hat collection.

Details from Tracko:
Yanco and I have been working on a summer cap for some time now. We're using a much lighter fabric than denim or canvas, we've even shortened the bill to save weight overall. We stuck to the three panel design we are most known for, so the cap would better fit under a helmet. We just wanted a cap that we could use for much longer road rides and racing but still be classy enough to wear out. The pattern has been perfected and I think I've found the perfect material...LINEN!
