A site about lugs, tan sidewalls, maybe jazz, classical, punk and bluegrass, local riding, worldly riding and people, cool cats, lame ducks, 110 bcds, wool, and smelling like hell after a long ride.

cottage industry vs factory production

So here’s the plot as far as I can see. Homespun enviro/natural clothing/baggage/acessories developed by hand with no computers, just old school knowledge. Jerseys, arm warmers, tights, knickers, sweaters, harris tweed jackets, riding scarves, beanies, hunting caps, h bar bags, saddle bags, ect ect…I would also like to do a series of racks…thats way out though…maybe start with clothing and baggage, and go to racks, then bikes? but heres the plot seriously: develop this stuff personally, then take it to a small, independant, high quality american or canadian or english company…probally american, and get small lots made. very small. change stuff around, see what works. need money though. I can maybe get 10 grand by summer, but i’ll wanna put at least 3 in savings, so thats 7 grand. if we can double that, we can do a jersey run, at least i should think. maybe two jerseys and a bag, that would be a good start. I think the cottage industry is on the move, i think people are realising that natural shit is the way to roll, nike is even making wool jerseys… theyre 120-150. I think they should be 100. theyre chinese… anyway. a harris tweed riding cap? perfect… we’ll need a FREElance web designer, who maybe gets a jersey. think about it. I would like to do shoes too, maybe thats even more out there than frames. post ideas. lets talk. -johnson
