Lot’s of people coming and looking at the site (we know, we’ve been checking!) and we are guessing a lot of people wondering what’s going on with us - people are even calling our UK office and asking!

Believe it or not we have been hard at work planning new kit (which is why we put a hold on any new GTO offerings). Seems easy but when you want to do something worthwhile and work to some rather new design principles and methodologies, it always ends up harder than what you thought. We are not going to let out what we are doing with Lab-Gear as a whole just yet but product wise we can say that we have coming:

• A new 165gsm Merino sleeveless base.
• A 165gsm Merino T
• Some spanky cotton drill cruiser shorts
• All new under-knicks/boxers to go with the spanky shorts.
• And…. something we are not telling you but might surprise many!

Our aim is have a line that is simple, solid and made up of natural fibre kit that you can really do a lot with. And we are thinking when we get ready to do the run, we might do some special eds. available to those on the newsletter only! Keep your eyes peeled.

Oh gawd, this is soooooo true…….

Here’s a nice one for all those that still Ollie in the house…

The Dry Leaf Eco skateboard by Lets Evo is made from sustainable materials and socially responsible labour practices. Nice. Inhabitant.com wrote about it:

“The Dry Leaf is composed of multiple layers, using innovative renewable materials at every stage. The backbone of the board is a 3-ply organic Mosso bamboo, developed by Fibra Design Sustentável. The bamboo is treated using natural processes without of toxic chemicals and is produced following fair trade criteria. Than there is the second layer, a composite of 70% natural fibers (jute, malva and curaua) and 30% post production recycled polypropylene. To topping it off is a Pupunha Veneer - another material developed by Fibra Design Sustentável. The Veneer is produced from the waste of the sustainable palm-heart industry and is another way that the dry leaf supports farmers.”
