The Commuter Suit Designed for Cyclists
Head to your desk straight from your bike.
Cycling to work is fun. But turning up to the office in lyrca and fluoros? Not so much. Fortunately (for everyone involved) San Francisco-based designer Parker Dusseau has come up with a solution. It's a suit that's cool enough to ride and work in. That's cool, temperature- and style-wise.
Similar to the Wear-More, Wash-Less T-shirt that caught our eye last week, the 'Commuter Suit' is made of merino. Australian 135 Performance Superwool, to be precise, with spandex throw in for flexibility, poly tricot mesh lining and a water-resistant finish. Not only is it breathable, it actually wicks away moisture, minimising temperatures while maximising comfort levels. The cut is form-fitting yet allows plenty of room for movement.
According to Dusseau's site, the Commuter Suit embodies "the perfect intersection of cycle gear and men's fashion". Pretty much every conceivable detail seems to have been taken into consideration. A pleat in the back section of the jacket creates an 'Action Back', enabling extension and stretching without resistance. A three-button enclosure prevents the wind cutting through. Super-deep internal pockets provide safe storage. Elastic bands hidden in the pant cuffs mean they can be secured to avoid entanglement in the chain.
Available in navy and charcoal grey, the Commuter Suit can be purchased online. Jackets are selling for US$485 and pants for US$245. There's also a dress shirt, which comes in ivory white or periwinkle blue, for US$145 and 'Commuter Cinos' for US$145.
