Oh no they're not!...Actually they are, as I heard it was okay to wear long trousers for cyling but only if they had been made from Reynolds 853 tubing (like drainpipe jeans but lighter & stronger)

Ride in jeans sometimes...good when its cold and the trails are full of gorse or your liable to bin it!
Or when there is a pub stop

Has it ever been a biking brand?
Maybe not, but traditionally has been purchased by riders and marketed as MTBer friendly (in Pembs with no notable riding). The pioneer of the firm has gone and Timberland now run sh1t.
Double page spread in this months DIRT. Do you know a single mountain biker willing to spend £70 on a shirt?
Howies; **** off, you are now aiming at a market who despise you.Posted 2 years ago # -
ah and that's where capitalism gets all messy...in a stange fashion / fabrictations food chain turn of fate a former Timberland head honch now has a hand with Indy Fab as a some kinda mentor...not making any particular point there but just an observation.
If it ever is or was a biking brand? dunno they make some nice stuff, with seemingly good intentions...but frankly my ideal for the company to be like a wonderful welsh patagonia / pattagucci has never quite shown up. i.e 'water proof jeans' doh! a possibly a product like when Homer Simpson get to design a his dream car
