They’re baaaack! Levis’ insanely successful Commuter line has released it’s lookbook for fall. It’s not wildly divergent (and I am sad to see there is still nothing for women despite the fact that women are leading the rising bike revival, and in many ways are creating this demand for bike clothing that looks good), but does offer some new colours to expand the 4 piece line (denim, chino, work shirt and trucker). I love the medium grey-green chino and the ivy Trucker jacket.

If you are new to the Commuter line, the pieces all boast sneaky, cycling-specific features: discreet reflective strips, built-in u-lock holder, ventilation, and secret pockets – like the Tilly hat of bike clothing.

Even the fabrics themselves are coated… with TECHNOLOGY. Anti-microbial, water-resistant, dirt-repellant; branded coatings with names like Nanosphere and Sanitized…

Basically this is techie biking gear in a hip everyday outfit’s clothing. Which I can get behind, theoretically. It’s a pretty wonderful men’s line. For 2013, I wish for a women’s line so I can get behind it in practice.
