Kind of like the idea of their bibs but - sure is a lack of photos and info on their website. Anyone got a pair? Comments?

I have some of their stuff as they are vendors on a few runs around here. Nice stuff and uniquely styled. Their styling and quality remind me of late 60's early 70's leather goods if you know what I mean.

I agree - that jacket looks terrible, in part from the pocket design and in part from what seems to be worn Gretzky style but the little pix aren't helping.

The guy in the picture is the owner. He and his wife make the stuff. The pockets are made to put stuff in not for the tailored look. They sell tons of gear for big money so take it for what its worth. High quality leather not for the GQ look.

I have the bibs. They were ordered with the liner. One of the best products out there. Everywhere I ride in the winter, people approach and inquire about them. These people are not making fun of them but want to know where to buy a pair. This is because they are not riding, as it is too cold for them, and they would like to change this situation. The overalls make the difference between staying home and going for a ride in frigid weather and if you would like to ride in relative comfort in cold weather these will be an asset.
The images in the catalog are not the best: this is a very small company and they are more concerned with producing a quality garment than foisting another fashion statement upon the public.
I don't have the jacket but it seems to be made for real travel by those who would utilize the many pockets built large enough to actually hold something. Compare the design to the venerable Barbour jackets that ultra-cool Steve McQueen (and just about everyone else engaged in serious long distance races across the countryside) used to wear.
When I ordered mine, the owner's wife answered the phone and took the time to answer all my questions. She then sent me a pair to use as a size reference and to make sure that I wanted a pair. After sending them back with a note of " please make this part smaller, this part longer, etc. , they custom made a pair out of very good leather right here in the good'ol U.S.A. The stitching is heavy.
The bottom line is they produce functional riding gear built from a viewpoint of really riding.
