Is that a hooded jersey? that looks pretty cool

Thanks guys.

We were just in the process of setting up our vendor page to tell everyone about the new site, but Tim, you beat us to it!

The website is still a work in progress, and it'll have some new products soon, but it's 2.5 of us sewing/designing etc. so things happen at a different pace.

Thanks again.

My long sleeve wool jersey (as pictured) is the best fitting and most comfortable piece I've ever owned. Money very well spent.

+1 Cima did our club's long sleeve jerseys and they're pretty freakin' incredible plus the folks were great to work with.

I'd like to welcome Lawrence and Cima Coppi as our newest vendor :)

Whaaat...I remember when you guys were just making caps on Etsy. I lost mine sadly.

How does one get their hands on that paceline jersey/hoodie?

We had a forum order go in last season for traditional and wool Paceline jerseys. You could check with Lawrence to see if he has anything left....probably not though.:(

We can make anything you need, be it a Paceline item or a new cap.

It's funny, I was just staring the the screen for about 5 minutes, not that anyone could tell, thinking about those Etsy days.

You know, back then (2008/09 ish) I would ride around town with bottles of Italian wine in my courier bag and go the tailors. We'd shoot the breeze and talk all sorts of stuff and I'd bribe them with wine to give me their wool pieces they couldn't use in their custom suits. Armani, Zegna, Scabal... really fine stuff.

Angelo Papa, who passed away in 2011, and Renzo Montagliani were my two favorite visits. They were both born in Italy in the late 30's and they'd tell me stories about Fausto Coppi and tell me all about Rimoldi machines made in Milano. We still only sew on Rimoldi sergers. Renzo's is a coffee shop now, owned by his son Andre. Renzo had been sewing custom suits since he was 11. Imagine that. I chose the name Cima Coppi in part to honor those Italian fellas, they were rough ole guys at first, but once we'd get talking they'd just go on. They were good men.

Anyway. Ramble on.

Great story.

Huh, who knew? JJ Lee wrote a book called "The Measure of a Man: The story of a father, a son and a suit" I'll have to read that. And he and the CBC did an interview with Renzo... It's a good listen. Gotta admit, it got me a little choked up. (starts at 0:50)

Noticed your product on the new Lexus RX30 SUV commercial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDR2BME_2BE).

The one where the couple loads up their bike to ride.....somewhere else in the city...then load up their bikes. To drive somewhere else in the city to ride their bikes.
