Thanks Poots for sharing and all who completed the little survey - very much appreciated. We've got the design and pattern sample and we're just testing and tweaking it at the moment - also deciding on the fabric for the initial run - which is why we wanted specific feedback.
Mands - thanks for the detailed feedback - Zips are all YKK (main one will be waterproof), plenty of pockets and arm ventilation also in the design :)
There's no velcro on the jacket at all (due to nightmare of snagging anything/everything!) - will run some velcro over the sample to test for snagging though.
Thanks again - Carolyn & Lois

Hi all,
I posted this on another thread on Monday, but thought i'd add it here too. We launched the brand with a small range in December 2013 - it's all designed (by female cyclists) and made in London.
"Hi all, apologies for not having updated this more recently. I just wanted to thank you all for your feedback and input on this venture. I am really excited to have recently launched the site (www.velocitycyclewear.cc). I have made a discount code to say thank you to you all - use the code LFGSS for a 10% discount valid until the end of May.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions/feedback.
Many thanks, Carolyn"

Hi there, 30 inches is the measurement of the actual waist band of the trousers - rather than a physical waist measurement - which is much higher on the body and not where the trousers will sit. The best thing to do is measure the actual waistband of the trousers you currently wear for cycling in and see how they compare. They are pretty accurate to size, so for example, if you normally wear a 10, you'll most likely want a 10 in these. Hope this makes more sense? Thanks, Carolyn

Hi all, apologies for my absence - i've been working hard though! Trousers have been out for testing over the summer as I was keen to get some impartial feedback. I've made some changes and improvements as a result, and i've just set up a very small production run.
Here's the article that Justin at Cyclr.com wrote about my progress: http://www.cyclr.com/journal/2013/9/4/velocity/
You can also find me on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/VelocityUrbanCyclewear) or @VelocityGB on twitter. Or feel free to contact me via LFGSS.
Feel free to get in touch :)

Cute button :)
You can go mad and put some reflective stuff when you roll up like Levis does, or a different colour but that puts up the price again. There's a brand in San Francisco that does nice stuff, name escapes me atm...
Stretch is good along with cut for narrow waist/belt or something on trousers to bring it in. I have to wear Bold Curve from Levis else I have a 2 inch gap. Same problem as Jess|e!
A good set of legs I call it :):)
And often you see mega thin female models wearing cycle trousers and I'm like yeah...that's really going to fit me, is it?A stretch cotton drill is next on the agenda for testing. Once this cut has been worked through and tested I am definitely going to develop a curvier fit.
-
it's a cute t-shirt, but I think there is much more demand for a decent pair of trousers :)
also I'd buy some in that colour.agreed... trousers is why I started all this! I got excited and thought it would be nice to have a couple of top options to complete the concept - practical/functional/understated cycle wear :)
-
Looks good - what sort of size range and price point are you going to be looking at?
hi there, I am not 100%, but most likely going to go with 4 sizes (8-14) and two leg lengths. In terms of price I am aiming around the £70-75 mark for the full length trousers. This will depend on a few factors (such as fabrics which I am still testing), so isn't confirmed yet. I want to keep them as reasonably priced as possible, which is why they are not overly technical/ laden with features.
-
Trousers look good :)
The t-shirt looks quite plain, like any t-shirt. This may be intentional, if not, maybe it would be nice to add a v-collar, or a small detail?
Hi there, yes the t-shirt is intentionally quite plain. It does have detail on the cuffs of the sleeves (buttoned turn-up)... I didn't post this picture first time round - so here it is.
glad you like the trousers... i'm really pleased with the new pattern.
-
hi there, yes the crotch area has a diamond pattern to avoid the awkward seams. I'm testing the new cut at the moment, but all is going well so far.
There isn't any stretch in this pair - I'm not so keen on synthetic materials as it tends to smell more - but now that the pattern is pretty much there I can test out a cotton drill with a small percentage of elastine as well.
-
Here's a look at my summer cycling trousers and a short sleeved merino t-shirt. Still more work to be done, but the progress is exciting. Thoughts and feedback is very welcome.
Trousers have articulated knees, reinforced seat, diamond crotch, high back in a durable and breathable 100% cotton drill. Top is longer than average and longer still at the back. Red buttons as standard. Subtle branding...

Rapha base layer still available...
