Our friends at Freeman Transport have prepped a bunch of new caps – both 5-panel and fitted – just in time for the big NAHBS in Austin, Texas this weekend. You can also pick them up online. Good looks.

Jack Spade NYC shop gets a special collection of the old timer baseball caps from Montana’s Freeman Transport. Three colors are available in their caps, which our staff loves to rock (some of us with their bicycles as well). Find them at 56 Greene Street in NYC.

Our friends at Freeman Transport sent over some looks of a short run of Oakley Jawbones produced in the “olive drab” color way you’ll find on most of their bicycles. The Oakley Jawbones use VR50 transition vented lenses. I happen to ride in the Jawbones as many do, and they are some of the lightest and breathable shades on the market today. We’re not clear if they’ll be sold, but for now, they look great.

“Through two distinct shoots, and over a period of three months, photographer Chris Milliman worked with Freeman Transport to document daily life of co-founder Benjamin Ferencz. At home in Missoula, MT, Milliman follows Ferencz through his routine. Picking up mail. Answering buisness calls. And, of course, riding his bike. Home and Away gives visual record to the Freeman idea. A lifestyle led by the bicycle and an open sense of adventure – whether that be in culture, food, or purely in the possibilities presented through travel…”

Of course, art direction and design was done by  Ferecnz’s The Design Cooperative. 500 newsprint books have been produced. They’re available now direct from Freeman Transport.

For their first few rounds of hats, Freeman Transport went with classic Americana – perfectly rendered wool baseball caps and a sturdy waxed canvas 5-panel. The latter is inspiration for their latest release, a cycling cap that merges a collection of core Freeman interests. Cycling is a given, it’s a cycling cap after all, and the (now) signature use of chambray lining to the light waxed canvas (available in navy or green) an indication of their sartorial inclinations. The caps are also produced in the USA, California to be exact, another hallmark of Freeman product.

Their artistic side? That’s incorporated too. You just have to head to the jump to find out how.

One of my favorite giveaways to date (and not because the minds behind this line are part of our Columns).  Montana’s Freeman Transport graces the Twitter giveaways with their waxed canvas and chabray lined Pouch Set. “The ultimate set of zippered pouches for your travels. The large pouch is perfect for books, magazines and pads. The medium pouch stores all your cords, drives, camera, pencils and small books. The small pouch is wallet sized to go in your bag or on your person… Made in New York.”

As always, it’s pretty easy to enter and win.

Dry Bones D.Lewis Chambray Shirt (ends tonight, Dec 21)

EMI Music Pack (ends Dec 25)

Made in New York. Made to handle all your bits and pieces in transit. For example, the medium size pouch is perfect for camera and cords. The pouches are constructed of waxed canvas with a chambray shirt lining, something of a Freeman Transport hallmark.

The trio of pouches is now available from Freeman. Head to the jump to see the large pouch in action.

The second set of Freeman Transport Fitted Caps have arrived (just in time for their trip to NYC’s Bicycle Film Festival). Like all caps in the Freeman range, these are produced by master hat maker Brett Wiley. American made wool flannel, lined in chambray, and decorated with white felt applique. 30 of each color – black, grey, and navy – are available beginning at the Film Fest’s Saturday street fair.

The second bike from Freeman Transport is the Gravel Racer. As an ode to co-founder Nathaniel Freeman’s great-great-grandfather (an industrial revolution era inventor), the guys have utilized a gun metal finish – richly patinaed with blues and ferric browns. The bike can be built as a fixed gear or with coaster breaks. They are available as a frame set, or in two builds. Also, the option for couplers exists (just as on their track bike), but the Gravel Racer can be ordered without.

A beautiful cruiser. Images from our good friend Mr. ACL.

Details follow.

Celebrating 100 years of the Giro d’Italia, our friends at Freeman Transport have produced a new t-shirt with an ode to the front runners jersey. Modeled after the pink pages of the La Gazzetta dello Sport, the overall leader of The Giro sports a maglia rosa jersey.

Connecting to the color, and drawing their own tour of Montana, the Freeman team attaches their location and history in cycling to one of the most cherished events in the sport.

The t-shirt is available now direct from Freeman Transport.
