Did a post a couple weeks ago and most people felt price was the biggest factor for jerseys and the insane markups
Trying to come up with something affordable and stylish but what designs are people interested ? Retro vintage, minimalist, quiet, loud patterns…
Been riding for a while and I feel like most cycling brands are just iterating on the same few ideas around tighter aero fits, slightly better fabrics and marginally better breathability.
Genuinely curious what people think is still missing in the space? What’s that differentiation factor gonna be? Will it be around technical materials: Gore alternatives, 3d knitted structural textiles, grapheme enhanced fabrics, Dyneema composites, merino/nylon or something? Or is it still a design and fashion game with what fits the best?
The 100s of brands today seem to be playing the latter game marginally beating one another on price.
Hi,
I’m trying to start a cycling apparel brand in North America but am struggling to find manufacturers/factories in Europe. Where and how to search for factories to put together yarn sourced from Italian mills to manufacture jerseys and bibs?
