It is often said that those who fail to learn from history are destined to repeat it. That probably isn’t what De Marchi had in mind, but those who do know some cycling history can wear it!
The company is introducing a line of historical jersey reproductions from cycling’s “golden age” and this limited edition series features attired based on what were originally manufactured by the Italian clothing brand, which has been designing and producing cycling wear since 1946. Reproductions of old team jerseys will feature two front pockets and these include the 1951 Wilier jersey worn by Antonio Bevilacqua and the 1949 Atala worn by Luison Bobet. The line will also include the 1967 Mainetti worn by Marino Basso, the 1969 SCIC worn by Vittorio Adorni, the 1972 baby blue Salvararni worn by Felice Gimondi, and the 1975 Filotex worn by Francesco Moser.
De Marchi products are distributed in the U.S. through Bicycle Technologies International.
Cycling attire looks great when you’re riding a bike. However, as we’ve long noted what might look good on the bike looks anything but good off the bike, and utterly inappropriate at work. While cycling shorts have really no place at the office, neither does a team jersey.
The cold gray winter still has a ways to go, but Martin Golf Apparel unveiled its new Spring 2013 collection that includes new patterns along with a full color palette that might help liven things up. This includes the men’s popover shirt, which are now available in Gingham Check and Bengal Stripe, both offered in the Rivera color palette. Also new this year is the men’s short sleeve 2-button Pima Cotton Interlock shirt that features a self-fabric collar. This new line of golf apparel is almost enough to make us forget it is still only late January!
When we heard that H&M was going to introduce a line of cycling attire we weren’t sure what to think. Did the clothing retailer just add an athletic section? But it turns out that this isn’t exactly racing attire, but more along the lines of fashionable clothing for those who like to cycle and don’t want the spandex look.
The BMX competition at the Olympics is still a week away, but Team USA riders are probably already suiting up in their Nike uniforms, which have gotten rave reviews. While the fashionable uniforms have turned heads, the riders will get the technological benefits when they go for the cloud.
Between biking, running, yard work and other activities in the summer heat, lately the laundry hamper has been emitting a particular odor I really hope a good cycle in the washing machine will take care of. To help things out, we got our hands on a bottle of Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator. This goes in the wash in addition to detergent, and works to lift odors out of the fabric. 
LG posted a video showing its new line: The Course Limited Edition Collection. The line uses technical fabrics, articulated fit, 5 motion chamois, coldblack, Boa Technology and other materials and techniques. 
If you’re going to spend your days catching fish you should look good doing it. For this year you can suit up in the Nobis Fisherman Jacket, which is part of its Spring 2012 outerwear collection. It is a functional jacket that is made to stand up to the elements.
