British Motocross Race Wear

2/13/2019 1:48pm Edited Date/Time 6/26/2019 5:47am
Hey all.

I just wanted to get your opinion on a little something I've been working on recently.

As we all know, almost all motocross race wear brands are US based/owner. Given motocross was born in the UK, I felt it necessary to create a British Motocross race wear brand that has ambitions great enough to challenge the sport's leaders! I'd very much welcome and value your opinions on what I've created so far!

(The logo is the alchemical symbol for earth, dirt, mud, soil etc)

It's still very early days so try and be nice! Smile

Looks great. I didn't know there were no British brands. Wulfsport maybe? Or are they off-road only these days? Good luck with the launch!

Cheers

good luck, keep us informed, trouser price but also quality is important, i've had some bad stuff like many and i will never but ONE again for example, way too flimsy down stairs, they make lovely tops and gloves mind.

your style looks nice , be happy to wear and support as an Englishman

Thank you Simon! Yeah Wulfsport are still about and a couple of others. I found Wulfsport wasn't many people's cup of tea, but they're still about.

British brand is great, but is it a double whammy and made in Britain as well? Or is it made in some nasty far eastern country?

Cheers Jamie, I will do for sure. Give us a follow on Facebook or Instagram, I'm posting regularly on there and will post again on here when we officially launch :D

Quality is of upmost importance to us, we're currently in talks with a manufacturer that achieves quality that is on par with the likes of Fox. So things are looking rather promising.

I'll be accepting nothing less than perfection from them.

Thank you for your support Smile

That was what we were hoping for but unfortunately we just couldn't find a manufacturer at all in the UK that could create these types of garments, shame I know. Although going forward we will be continuing our search for one!

In the mean time, the manufacturer we're in talks with is achieving quality on par with the likes of Fox, so fingers crossed for when these kit samples turn up next week!

A sad state of affairs when there isn't the manufacturer in the UK that can make them. To think what we used to have here.

Anyway, I digress. Good luck with the venture!

I agree, it is a shame! It is something we will keep looking in to going forward though, even if we have to do the manufacturing ourselves at some point!

Thank you Kyle! Smile

pretty much everything is made in the east for one obvious reason

it does not mean it is low quality or has less QA than something made here

also, some nasty far east country? wtf does that even mean?

Honest question: are you in any way involved in manufacturing of anything or have any idea about manufacturing?

Here is a beautiful example for you to mull over: BENTLEY - our made in UK brand is littered with Taiwanese, Korean and Chinese parts, most plastics are done in Poland or Czech, i could continue but i won't.

The Bentley case is not 1 in a million, it is standard.

fox stuff is on the money imo - i have 1 particular pair of fox trousers (in my profile pic actually) i bought for DH racing about 2013 and they are still going somehow, still waterproof-ish and no tears even after being hammered on DH and ktm.

i will find you on FB and i will certainly support - great job in starting something for yourself, good luck man

I never made mention to quality.

To answer your question - no I'm not. If I was, I sure as hell make stuff in the UK or countries who had ethical policies.
Call me crazy to want to support home grown stuff as much as possible. Where you can easily keep an eye on what gets made, how it gets made and importantly how things (like environment) get treated.

Places like the far east don't give two shits about the environment - so why would I want to support them?

First glance , its decent enough, simple design, doesnt look like a dogs dinner, which a lot of stuff has started to do, just dont lose sight of the fact that it is primarily protective clothing for when you fall off... some new stuff is like stretch fit Pyjamas.
