When riding, it’s hot, but once you stop, it’s cold. We’ve all been there, but a button shirt can solve that problem.

It guards our skin from sunlight and keeps us warm just a bit. A shirt is a good piece of clothing for casual cycling.

I wanted a shirt that even feels more for cycling, so we made them from the fabric with our good friends at Pilgrim Surf+Supply.

The “Max” of the name of the shirt comes from the COOLMAX® material from LYCRA. We had the Coolmax material and cotton weaved by a weaver in Hyogo prefecture.

The shirt feels very smooth, so you can wear them to protect yourself from direct sunlight on a hot day. If you get too hot, take it off and wear the shirt across your body by tying the sleeves together. It’s perk of a long sleeve shirt.

There’s often times when certain areas has really cold air conditioning. A shirt that’s not too bulky like this will help you in those situations.

With the explanations so far, you might think that these shirts are for the summer, but it’s actually a great shirt to wear all year, due to it’s perfect balance of the mixed fabric.

They’re also crease free and very easy to take care of.

A major charm of the shirts has to be the check patterns. It’s apparently very hard to fins a check shirt with this type of fabric.

How is it good for riding? You may ask.

The buttons are snap buttons instead of a typical button shirts. You can unbutton easily while riding.

A hidden side pocket on the right side. Stash your snacks, phones, bandanas, etc.

Reflective cord on the back of the neck. Subtle, but let’s people know you’re there at night.

A standard fit. Not too boxy, not too tight.

I think we did a really good job on these shirts. Hope you like them, and thank you to Pilgrim Surf+Supply as always.
