I like Rapha stuff and own a bit, but am looking for some clothes I can wear on and off the bike. Kind of like Howies, but with rear pockets etc...
Can anyone recommend any other brands?
Cheers 🙂

Endura have a new range of "urban" stuff, but I haven't seen it in the flesh yet.

Surface is nice gear....
Aldi all the way
Stylish bike clothing that you can wear off the bike doesn't exist.
It would either make you look like a massive dork or a massive douche.
Just a warning - Vulpine's sizing is [i]generous[/i]. Bought one of the green gilet on Saturday evening at Muddy Hell and the S is quite baggy on me. Nice feel to it, and looks pretty classy, but I'm unlikely to buy any more Vulpine gear because I prefer things that fit.
Swrve. As CFH says it is a contradiction that can never be reconciled but Swrve stuff is pretty good albeit expensive. Website is reasonably functional. I have their jeans, 3/4s, cigarette shorts, and merino cardie / jkt and all work pretty well and look ok. When modelled by me anyway. 😉
I like kit from Norrona, especially the jackets. But it's mega money.
im still hunting myself. rubbish stuff out there
DZR shoes
I think you have to wear tweed.
Check out Muxu too. Their cycling jeans are awesomely nice.
I love howies stuff.. their skinny jeans are my favourites.
v impressed with the Muxu jeans, just go one size down. Unlike the levis commuter, they are built for people who use pushbikes not scag.
Union34?
A few weeks ago i posted up regarding decent 3/4 length shorts and from the recommendations of various clothing companies i bought a pair of Sombrio Wildcard 3/4's (very nice, almost too nice to get filthy) and i ordered from Swrve as well, I ordered their Winter Softshell 3/4s and their Mid-Weight WWR 3/4s and i thought i'd keep what pair i like best and send the other pair back but i'm afraid to say i kept them both as they're fantastic for riding in - highly recommended from me.
I quite like some of the stuff sold here: [url= http://www.alwaysriding.co.uk/# ]Always Riding[/url]
Lots of good tips above, so cheers folks.
