Octopus Caps Are PROPER!
Oct/17/2009 Archived in: Oct 2009
Octopus Caps sent me a few caps to try out. One cap which pays homage to Van Halen caught my eye real quick! The overall construction of these caps are flawless and fit so damn well! As a bonus feature, you will find a nice silk-like nylon pocket inside the cap to stash your money and cash cards. The best part about these caps is that they come in different sizes. I've always disliked the "one size fits all" approach. In the end, if you're looking for a nice cap... I highly recommend Octopus Caps! By far... they are my favorite! I think Juliet likes them as well because she snagged the Van Halen cap =)

Outlier Nailhead Cap
Sep/01/2009 Archived in: Sep 2009
This is literally the good stuff. Stuff is a word that can mean just about anything, but its first use as a noun was to describe the worsted wool fabrics that medieval knights stuffed under their suits of armor. Nailhead is one of our favorite worsted wools around. Its subtle pinprick pattern gives it an incredible depth of texture, and as a fine suiting fabric it tends to be made from the softest and longest wool fibers available. That makes it one of the best performance fabrics in the world, but you'd never know since it tends to be used in expensive men's suits and nothing but. We snatched these fabrics from our favorite Brooklyn warehouse determined to find a better use for this quality stuff than the upper class ghetto of office armor and take it back to the streets.
Wool sometimes has a bad rep for being itchy, course and overwarm, but that's only because the good stuff always gets snatched up for suiting fabric. The finer wools breathe better than cotton, and wick moisture into the inner core of their actual fibers. This means they cool you in the summer, keep you warm in the winter and always feel drier to the touch than other fabrics, no matter how wet it is outside. It makes for an incredible cap.
The Nailhead Collection uses our classic cycling cap design done with master milliner Victor Osborne. We line our caps with a bengaline fabric that molds to your head over time, as does our high quality grosgrain banding. Because it's a lined cap, it costs twice as much to make, the lining is essentially a second cap sewn inside the first. But for that added cost you get a cap that should last way more than twice as long, and fit great for all the years you own it. As always we produce our garments in New York City for exceptional quality. – Outlier

Outlier Summer Shorts & Summer Storm Cap
Jun/10/2009 Archived in: Jun 2009
If you missed my previous post on these shorts, look no further...
Summer after summer passes by and invariably you find yourself in unexpected situations. An afternoon BBQ turns into a late night pool party, a quick beer run turns into a fire hydrant splash or a refreshing thunderstorm rolls through out of the blue. That's why Outlier brings us two new releases, Summer Shorts and the Summer Storm cap. Both made to handle the unexpected moments of summer.
Outlier's Summer Shorts are a classic short that can double as swim trunks. You can ride to the beach, jump in the ocean and ride back to the city without ever having to change. Made with Outlier's fast drying Summerweight and 4Season material and designed with side pulls to cinch up in case you need to take a wave.
Next up is Outlier's Summer Storm Cap. A waterproof, breathable cap made from Zegna wool suiting. Remarkably classy and ready to take on a ride through a thunderstorm to a dinner date with friends. Made with master milliner Victor Osborne in New York City.

Outlier Tropical Wool Caps
May/13/2009 Archived in: May 2009
Earlier this spring, biking on the edges of Brooklyn Abe and Tyler of Outlier stumbled on an incredible stash of surplus tropical wool suiting. Never ones to let things go to waste, they snatched it up and turned it into the OUTLIER Tropical Wool Caps. Tropical wools are nothing like the heavy ichy stuff you think of when you think wool. These are the same fabrics that you'll find in a $3000 summer suit and they make for a midweight cap with a fantastic look, fit and feel.
The OUTLIER Tropical Wool Cap is made in collaboration with master milliner Victor Osborne and designed with the highest attention to detail. Outlier started with Italian tropical wool suiting, known as the finest cloth in the world and graded in terms of a Super number. The higher the number, the finer the wool. These caps are all made from Super 80s or better, which means they will have similar performance qualities to our premium merinos. Perfect for riding across town and still looking refined and sophisticated on your next date.
The Super 80s are available in black and navy for $75.
The Highgrades are available in a dark blue nailhead and a light gray/blue for $90.
Fit wise, a small is 21.5 inches naturally and stretches to 22.5. A medium is 22.5 inches naturally and stretches to 23.5. A large is 23.5 inches naturally and stretches to 24.5. A traditional look with a modified four panel construction, fully lined and like all Outlier products made in New York City for style and quality.

Outlier Empire Merino Tee
Mar/24/2009 Archived in: Mar 2009
The Outlier crew is back with another future classic. This time they took on the tee shirt. Outlier sourced an ultrafine grade of merino from the Southern Alps of New Zealand, and had it cut and sew in midtown Manhattan, just blocks from the Empire State building. This superior quality merino cools you in the summer, keeps you warm in the winter and looks great all year round. It's so soft and well tailored you'd think you are wearing nothing at all. In other words a tee-shirt fit for an emperor.
Outlier named it the Empire Merino Tee after their friends from the forthcoming Empire film, a movie showcasing New York City's fastest and most skilled street riders. Like Empire, Outlier is bringing New York's quality and style to the world of cycling.
