FH Wool Cycling Jerseys

Our friend John is modeling these beautiful vintage De Marchi wool cycling jerseys for us. But the catch is that we only have a few, and they are size SMALL. Please read all the details of the jerseys before purchasing to make sure it will fit you and that you are stoked. We cannot return or exchange these guys, but if you on the smaller spectrum either guy/or gal, you will not be disappointed. First come, first serve for these guys. Jorge came across the jerseys and he loves his.

You can buy them HERE.

Email us if you have any questions.

NEW **Lock Holster Belts**NEW

The Lock Holster Belt is our solution to those who still want a spot for their u-lock to rest but do not want to use our original Lock Holster because they don't wear belts to hold their pants up. This is also ideal for those who get annoyed having to switch out their holster from one pair of pants to the next.



The Holster Belt is meant to be worn on top of your clothes rather than strung through your pants. The u-lock holster is actually stitched to the waist belt itself so it will not move around. You can pick up a Belt Loop Key Ring and a iPhone/iPod Pouch and you will have yourself your own utility belt.

Hey San Francisco! Come see us

I have brought FH with me to SF this weekend. Come visit us at the first ever Renegade Holiday Craft Fair at the Fort Mason Center Herbst Pavilion. Click here for directions.

I brought a TON of stuff, belts, bags, hats, accessories, holsters, key rings, and there is a debut of a new line called Haute Hourse. It's a jewelry line spearheaded by the one and only Emily Glaubinger.

There will be lots of options for great gift giving. Do it.

The best winter cycling cap.

I cannot say enough about this hat. In my humble opinion, it is the best winter cap out there. Don't get me wrong. I have many many hats, and I love most of them BUT this hat is the warmest hat for cycling I have come across. If you respect Fabric Horse for the functionality of our products, you will not be disappointed with this steal of a deal. This hat was designed by Gerik Forston, master applique artist of Reload Bags about 7 years ago when we all lived in Cincinnati. He made them under the name Gerikmade but has since ceased production. I have personally owned a few of these guys, and like I have already said, I love it. Not only is it a great fit, but with the stretch of the polar fleece and the elastic running across the back from ear to ear, cold air will not reach your ears. In the cold weather this is the only hat I wear.



Gerik and I worked out a deal and now this hat is the newest Fabric Horse product. We have 4 colorways to start with. I am willing to make other colors if people are down. I will also be taking a batch of these jems with me to SF next weekend for the Renegade Holiday Craft Fair.
