Sometimes, deconstructing an everyday item like a cycling jersey is the best way to see the details. The guys at Cedar Cycling posted this infographic today for those of you wondering what their Standard Jersey looks like, from a detail perspective.

In addition to their Midnight and Prolly is Not Probably Standard Jersey editions, Cedar still has a limited number of merino wool and merino wool blend tee shirts left in stock.

For spring this year, Tokyo Fixed has rolled out a few new looks for their team jerseys. These are slim cut in a classic 4-side design, with a carbon weave side panels. See more shots here and pick one up in red or red / blue.

Melbourne’s Dirty Deeds CX league is something I’ve yet to experience in person. Once a rogue group of riders hitting trails in unsanctioned races is now a full blown ‘cross league. Pick up one of these Creux collaborative jerseys here.

There has been a huge push in American-manufactured cycling wear over the past few months and I’m very excited to see Search & State leading the charge. I wear the shit out of the Riding Jacket, especially while traveling and now they’ve just added Riding Shorts to their line. Also, don’t miss the new OD green jersey!

It’s going to be a green spring this year…

If you love your Rapha Classic Jersey but wish it had more color, these Trade Team Jerseys might be for you. Check out the full stock at Rapha and don’t forget to pick up the matching cap.

“Following up on the 5 Decades T-Shirt collection from last year…

1962 was the year that marked the return of trade teams to the Tour de France, to replace the previous national line ups. This trio of special edition Rapha jerseys celebrate the three teams and riders who topped the podium that year. The 49th edition of the Tour saw newcomer Raymond Poulidor of Mercier take the third step whilst Belgian Jozef Planckaert of Flandria narrowly lost out to Jacques Anquetil of the iconic St. Raphaël team.”

Looking great. Also, hey Ben!

This is incredible and I don’t even know what to say, other than I can’t wait to see it on someone. See more at Tokyo Fixed and check out their full jersey collection here.

It’s Merckx Mondays (in the Northern Hemisphere anyway) and I’m back in the land of Eddy Merckx. Not Belgium, Melbourne. As far as I’m concerned, classic Eddy Merckx bicycles in Australia is pronounced “F Y X O”. Andy’s supplied the world with great photos of classic steel bicycles over the years and his new 7-FYXO kits are looking great. Pick up the 7-FYXO Jersey here and the FYXO classic bibs here.

Don’t miss the full FYXO photoset here.

Splinter Camo is one of the best patterns from WWII and these vests look amazing. I just ordered mine, check out the details below. Props to Tracko andENDO. These look great.

“There is nothing like a good vest for the Spring time. It’s in the 50s when you leave home and it can be 20 to 30 degrees warmer by the middle of the day. I’ve worn this vest over a lightweight jersey with arm-warmers when it’s 50 degrees and I’ve worn it unzipped and flapping in the wind when it’s 80 degrees. Vests are one of the most versatile pieces of outerwear you can own, on the bike or off. We chose camouflage because we wanted something that would disappear, allowing it to be worn with anything.”

After months upon months of design, development and prototyping, the Giro New Road line is now available at select shops. I’ve had hands on experience with many of these pieces and I’m very impressed with the concept and construction. While they look like casual silhouettes, these jerseys are part of an innovative design that allows you to access pockets on the bib “briefs”. Some of these products are meant to work as a kit and others are to be treated as a normal jersey. It’s hard to describe but the product photos below explain better than I can.

The technical, merino blends fit great and have clean, modern lines but most importantly for me, the New Road line is made in the USA and is still affordable. I have and will commend Giro for developing, designing and manufacturing this product line in the state of California.

There’s more to come but for now, you can see the product shots below.

Check out the newest offerings from Rapha’s SS13 line. I’m pumped to see some more women’s offerings and as always, the full line looks great. See more from the Spring Summer 2013 Lookbook for Training & Racing here and the women’s bib shorts here.

Kyle Kelley rarely does product reviews but when he does, they’re very thoughtful and well written. In the latest Trackosaurus Rex review, Kyle looks at domestic warm weather cycling gear, like the SWRVE _BLK Label Merino Wool Full-Zip Sweater. Head over to Tracko to get the scoop.

A back to back Tracko post? This one’s worth it.

Kyle just posted this pre-order notice for his new Endo Customs-made Tracko kits up on Instagram. I don’t usually wear a kit when I ride my track bike, but I don’t care. I’m ordering one anyway. This dude is largely responsible for the popularity of track bikes and his site has been a favorite of mine, since forever (sorry Andy, yours is too!). Everything he touches turns to gold and unlike those Ramblin Rolls, there’s enough of these kits to go around.

Pre-order the Tracko kits until February 28th here.

Jeff, shown here doing the “Jeff Frane” pose, just got in a full shipment of All City Wool Jerseys. These come in both short and long sleeves. Check out more details and sexy poses at All City.

For the discount, anyway. Tomorrow at midnight, the price goes back to normal. So if you’re looking to save 10%, do so now! I cannot thank you guys enough for the support on this jersey. It’s been so well received.
