Cycle clothes: the new look

Mr Bonk sir I salute you - those caps look great & I want one. I'll PM you - do you do different sizes or is your current stock all one size (if so what?). Great work.

teddy, i am with you on this one. first of all i want to know how to get hair like that. it's so shiny and neat.

pomade - ftw (for the wetlook).

Brylcreem is usually sufficent for most people, but yeah pomade is great if youve got bit of a kink/curls in your hair. Long time greaser here.

I've been cycling in wool all winter. Its brill. My '40s wool army shit stoppers are fan-fucking-tasticly warm. And with a nice bit of knit tucked its definitely a look FTW. Though I prefer a little dickie to a regular ol' tie to make it a bit more preppy. That shop looks awsome though. Do they do shoes? I need shoes. Just got DMs and plimies atm...

Ta very much.
Goodhead deserves good cap. I do two sizes at the minute. One fits about a 55cm noggin, the other about 60cm. I'm happy to do custom orders to size and colour. Colours are limited at the mo, but I have browns, blues, black, greys.. I also have the purple Dashing Tweed and the grey. The grey is called "The Cyclist" on their site. Just need to finish those ones off. £27 posted. All silk lined.

They knew that jeans are not the best thing to ride in.. woolie clothes ARE.
You will also be needing either a beret or a fine-toothed comb 'ForTheWind'.
EDIT - I think the 'alpaca jacket' will make a comeback aswell.

alpaca is totally back already, visit any yarn or knitting store or try to buy a alpaca sweater for less that 200 :)

for the cold... have yet to get one...

Got one. Its great. Keeps your nose nice and toasty.

hey bonk. those are beautiful... i want one! how do they fit on a head?

They fit nice and snug. You get a bit of stretch from the tweed. I started off using elastic, but I didn't like the look. Cheapens them a bit. So these are more of a fitted style. Like a flat cap I suppose. They fit just above your ears.

Do you have a picture of a cap in this purple tweed? I'm interested.

Great, thanks.

The Bonk - I'm very interested in purchasing one of your hats - they are really well designed, and with hair as short as mine, I'm suffering at the moment.
I'm interested in the third picture down - an almost denim like tweed. Could we hook something up in a 60cm?
Big thanks mate.

Yes indeed. I think that one is a 60cm actually. I'll need to double check. But yes, if you want to buy one, that would be great.

check this out, brooks cycling shoes from their 1937 catalogue. they can't seriously have biked in those puppies!

Thanks "Da" Bonk. Let me know if it's the right size and i'll get some funds your way. Cheers my good chap!

Just checked and it's a tad small. If you were wanting a dark blue, I have got a bit of navy cord I could make you one with?

Well that'd be amazing, but if you are making one from scratch - would you be able to do one from the awesome purple tweed? If not, then the blue cord would be sweet man. This is really kind of you!

BOLLOX! I ordered a BFF/R*pha one recently. I want one of these.

Yep, I can do you a purple one. Nay bother. Better start writing a list. This is great. Got a good few people wanting them. Thanks.

No - thankyou. If you want the wonga before you begin - just holla! Thanks a million. I can't wait!

Send it back and I'll make you one.

I've always wanted some plusfours. I know this guy who **lives his life in the 30's **with everything from that era including massive white cotton baggy underwear... or so he says :s

Yeh, he's a Nazi.
