Levis for cycling

that's pretty cool! I give them kudos for aiming at the commuter market. I like the jacket!

I won't care until they start making commuter clothes for women, too. Boo for them only making these for dudes.

+1. I can't wear men's clothing - they just don't fit me.

me either- but maybe it's a start in the right direction??

It's a start, yes.

I just felt really let down. Saw an article about these not too long ago, got all excited, went to the Levis site and was like, oh. I see how it is. Not to be all debbie downer, but for some reason the lack of a women's line got to me on this one.

Perhaps I'm just feeling extra boxed in by the boys' club in general lately.* Why take it out on Levis? They're just a company trying to make a buck. There was probably a good deal of market research that went into the decision to launch with only men's commuter clothes. And anything encouraging more cyclists, especially bike commuters, is a good thing.

Still, I can't help but be grouchy. At least a little.

Apparently Levis doesn't think women ride bikes.

Jean jackets, a blast from the past. I really wanted one back in H.S. Then when I got one, it wasn't that warm. What a jean jacket has to do with bike commuting is beyond me.
