Outlier made locally in Brooklyn is on the cutting edge with making high fashion clothing, functional and fashionable for cycling, work and play.

Now they are re-inventing the classic dress shirt:

A little write up on it from Outlier’s Tyler Clemens:
“This is quite simply a better men’s dress shirt. We started out with a basic task, how could we make a shirt that moved better on a cyclists body, but we wound up with something a bit more subtle. A buttondown shirt cut to fit the body better and open up a range of motion constrained by traditional shirt construction. An experiment in form, the Outlier Pivot Sleeve Shirt.

From the front it looks like a well cut dress shirt. Like a good stage show, the magic takes place in back unseen by most. The underside of the pivot sleeve flows seamlessly into the back of the garment, creating an extra side panel. By removing the rear arm seam you can move your arm forward without restriction. It opens up a whole range of arm motion, move your arms forward or up and your shirt stays in place, cuff at the wrist, no cutting at the shoulders, your shirt tucked in properly. The extra side panel created by the pivot sleeve gives the shirt a strong form, the extra fluff found in most modern dress shirts is gone, this is how a shirt should fit.”

I forgot to post this a while back (sorry) but Anne Wolfe is making her own bike racks in New Bedford, Massachusetts.

I asked her about this project:

“A grant came from a local group, through SEEAL and the EPA, to make bike racks out of recycled materials. Seeal.org I worked with 2 other artists to come up with concept – a bike rack/fence around a street tree. The other artists had to drop out of the project, so I took it from there. I have a stash of tubing (we live in an old warehouse, so I have the space for a lot of crap, which comes in handy.) A local steel supplier had the cool shapes, which are cut-offs from plasma cut disks. So there are 3 like this one, in different colors, in the downtown area.

I’ve been doing metalwork since the mid-90s, and I’m a 41 year old mom of a 2 year old.
She also prints bikes on mugs and other kitchen items at her ESTY site Acero Studio
