(It’s been a while…but we’re back!)

And seeing that our online wallet stock was looking WOEfully empty, we’ve knocked together a few more MICROwallets from random (and often rare!) scraps of tubular tyre that we’ve been hoarding

But that’s not ALL!

As these make such lovely gifts for the cyclist or eco-warrior in your life, we will ship your order with a FREE patterned card-sleeve (handmade from upcycled boxes here in Girona) to make it even more ready-to-gift!

(FREE gift-sleeve available with all wallet orders while stocks last)

Another cycling-kit repair…

This old Castelli Cycling jersey was originally bought in London around 15 years ago; and the sleeves and rear pockets had completely died from the sun, so needed replacing!

I used the original sleeve elastic (pink/grey detail) in combination with some lightweight black fabric for some funky new sleeves with maximum comfort!

For the pockets I used a lightweight 4-way stretch mesh (the same one I typically use to add cargo-pockets to bib-shorts) and also incorporated the zipped pocket

The result is an updated jersey that will be useful for many (more) years to come!!

BUCK!T now offers repair services for your favourite running, gravelling and bike-packing kit!
✂️
Broken zips, unstitched seams, failing buckles/hardware and/or improvements to bags, hydration vests, bivys, etc. are all possible
🥳
As a young architect, I started repairing (& making) my own clothes, long before I started BUCK!T; so it seems logical to return to this with the more serious equipment, now at my disposal

Sustainability is in every choice you make, from the coffee you drink to the clothes you wear, to the holidays you choose and in the way you look after what you own
😌
So when Cheynna approached me to repair (and strengthen) her two running vests I was both impressed (by her commitment to ) and proud (in her choosing me for the job)
😎
After 5 years of solid use and UV-deterioration, most of the stretch fabric of one vest was totally dead, and a few holes had even started to form in the hex-mesh layer that the vest is built around
💀
So I stripped away all the old pockets, keeping the fittings, zips, etc; and then rebuilt the vest from the ground-up, repairing & strengthening the worn-through parts and matching the original pocket layout in new fabric and fresh elastic, even reusing the zip (which I serviced: removing oxidisation from the puller + get it running smoothly again)
🤐
For her newer, “racing” vest; I reinforced the areas we knew would fail in the long-term (portions of the hex-mesh + the main junction between the rear pockets) based on where the older vest had started to wear out. The result is a stronger more robust vest that will last even longer, before needing and actual repairs!!
