Howies have some new bike-related T-shirts in their range that we thought we’d show you very quickly. As everyone knows, you can’t have too many T-shirts.
This Steel Frames one (main pic) is pretty cool, an obvious tribute to Reynolds (are we allowed to say that? No one is going to get sued, are they?). To save you squinting, it says:
Guaranteed to Ride
Steel Frames
365
Days of the year
Manufactured by howies in the United Kingdom
Next up is the very roadie Hills Not Pills.
And finally, Howies are doing their classic logo in a reflective print. You’re probably not going to ride all that far in a cotton T-shirt but it’ll add a little extra visibility hacking around town.
Actually, we’ll show you one more for luck. It’s got nothing to do with cycling but this Porridge T-shirt is neat. And porridge is, indeed, the breakfast of champions.
All of these T-shirts are regular fit organic cotton and are priced £25.
The guys at Howies tell us that they have their new bike range arriving very soon.
“It's a real return to the roots for us and a real focus on functional, design-led kit,” said Howies’ Alex Murphy.
We’ll post details as soon as we get them.

And pay over the odds at Primark? You’re having a laff. What’s wrong with Aldi etc etc?

“£1500 for a bicycle? It’s not any really better than my mum’s Apollo!”
No, they are not cheap. £25 buys you a substantial t-shirt made in Portugal from organic cotton and hand printed in limited numbers in Wales.
I have Howies t-shirts, cheap t-shirts and some in between. The Howies ones fit me best while the cheap ones never fit right, soon go baggy or frayed and are usually more work to iron. While a Howies tee may not last longer than five £5 ones I know which I’d rather wear.
There is a huge environmental and human cost to non-organic cotton production, see http://www.panna.org/resources/cotton

You *iron* your T-shirts?! Blimey.
I like Howies Ts although I find the sizing a bit awkward. The larges are a tiny bit too small but the XLs are way too big. Perhaps I should just lay off the pies. I don’t think they last any longer than other brands though…maybe that’s cos I don’t iron them 🙂

I’m not one for the slept-in-it look… at least not my t-shirts 😉
Sorry, reading it again I didn’t phrase my comment very well. Some of Howies clothes are intended to last well, but it’s usually the heavier outer garments. They used to make a few items called ‘handmedown’ with that in mind (an insight here).

Porridge got nothing to do with cycling? Are you kidding me?
Cycling wouldnt even happen if it wasnt for porridge.
Not in our house anyway.
