Over the next three weeks we should get two Carradice shipments. We will get Bagmans, Barleys, Zip Rolls and more. We are told that Bagman supply has stabilized and should be more available, maybe.

4/19/10 Update: The order is ready, the skies over Europe are not. Our Carradice order will ship when the planes fly again.

Carradice will offer this retro wool jersey soon. The Carradice Cycle Jersey represents “a real breakthrough in fabric technology”, and is made from “Dry Wool” – produced by a company in neighbouring Burnley – which combines a 100% merino wool base layer with a stable polyester layer. The jersey has been produced in collaboration with another British company, Shutt Velo, based across the Pennines in Ilkley.

The traditional British bag maker will also be producing a new under-the-saddle seatpack in cotton duck with leather straps and a refinement of the Kendal panniers in the Barley style.

The jersey is being produced in a small run to gauge demand. Not sure of the price or other details. We will put these new items on order and offer them when they arrive.

Mr. Fink has created a nice bag-mount setup with this standoff and an extra dowel. The bag looks good. More on his blog: The New Practicality.
