Dashing Tweeds
The most recent Resonance FM Bikes Show mentioned a new company, Dashing Tweeds, who make Lumatwill, a traditionally-styled tweed wool fabric with embedded reflective thread (like Scotchlite). They have a brilliant design for a Cycle Suit, complete with Plus 5’s, or what we in the states would call knickers or manpris. (Reflective knickers in Britain might only come in handy for the World Naked Bike Ride :)
Unfortunately, the fabric appears from the website to only be available at a few custom tailors in London and used in their (expensive) bespoke suits. Hopefully these will be available at least as raw fabric in the US, since my wife is taking sewing classes and I’m sure she can’t wait to make me more cycling garb.
