We are pleasantly surprise to discover that we had a huge spike of folks looking into our shop during November.

In fact, our popular L'Enfer du Nord wool winter cycling cap literally flew off our shelves. Since then, we are hurrying to re-stock those shelves.


So, it's even nicer when folks write about us without letting us know. Thanks to this article, 'The Procrastinator's Guide to Winter Bicycle Commuting'....

Since September, we have been on a torrid pace busy working on custom embroidery cycling caps. We're proud to show two examples; the California Bear custom cycling cap for an American client and our current project, the Manx cap for our client from the Isle of Man. And, it doesn't look like it's stopping soon, we are also working on custom embroidery caps for two teams in Canada and the US.

It's fun to finally take advantage of our wonderful embroidery machine!

TGIF: In Praise For The Panzer

photo Red Dots Cycling

TGIF is the day for a tribute to my Pfaff 96 sewing machine affectionately dubbed, 'the Panzer.' 

We're currently producing a small batch of Piccolo inner tube pouches for a special order for a UK bike shop, and enjoying it with the help from the Panzer. I use it especially for rubber. I have much praise for this all mechanical machine. My Panzer can handle almost anything - effortlessly sewing through the tough rubber. It's super strong. After a session I take care to clean and lubricate it ... ready for more inner tubes. 

It's wonderful!
