Travelling with a motorbike gifts me inspiration.
When I spend that much time on a saddle, I have time to let my mind loose.
It's a unique way to let new things in, and allow ideas to grow.

Hey folks, happy new year!

Dario here for a quick status update.

The warehouse has been regularly back to operations after the festivities, and it tackling orders received during the festivites pause.

As of myself though, I caught a flu with quite some punch, and I'm having trouble even looking at a screen at the moment.
That's why there's some unanswered messages, sorry about it. I'll get back to you as soon as feasible.
I expect I'll get better in the coming days, finally (it has to end at a certain point, right? RIGHT?).

In the meantime, as a sort of FAQ, operations are as normal since monday, we are taking on the orders we received since the vacations pause began, and anything that is marked as "out of stock" should be restocked sometime in late January/early February with the next shipment from production, and will become available for sale again at that time.

From the Motor Valley, to the World.

There is a magical place in northern Italy, on the southern bank of river Po, where a bird could breathe the air of the ancient mountain pastures in Emilia in the morning, where Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and Parma ham are made, then it could fly in a straight line above the ancient roman road Via Emilia, soaring over the many smaller rivers that flow from south no north towards the great river Po, and on its path it would fly above the hills of Modena, Maranello, San Cesario sul Panaro, Sant'Agata Bolognese and Borgo Panigale, seeing the birthplaces of world-famous motorcycles and sport cars brands.

Our bird would then fly above Bologna, the food capital of the country, as well as the place where the first University in the world still teaches students since year 1088, and where the first municipality in the world was founded in year 1116.

Then, our bird could keep following the Via Emilia into the plains of Romagna, and over the course of just a few hours it would fly above Imola, Rimini and Misano Adriatico on that same day, until in the end it would reach the beaches of the Costiera Romagnola, the center of the italian summer vacations.

Most of the famous italian motorcycle pilots were born and raised in this area.

This lush region, 200 kilometers long (120 miles) by just a few tens kilometers wide, is famous all over the world as both the "Food Valley" and the "Motor Valley", since it is home to countless delicacies, automotive brands and racing circuits that everyone in the world knows the name of.

In this land, where engineering is turned into art, pioneerism is a tradition, and artisancraft is at the base of technical innovation, local enterpreneur Dario Alberto Magnani founded THOKK s.r.l., drawing from his chemistry and materials science background, and from his own fencing and motorcycle riding experiece, and funneling those into the creation of protective garments that trascend the barrier between technicque and craft, in which beautiful, supple leathers blend seamlessly with highly engineered materials while soft, natural fibers give a comfortable touch to world-class technical textiles.

Underneath this premium outer layer, though, the beating heart of THOKK® gear is the reactive softarmors sewn inside it, offering the highest level of protection with minimal encumbrance and impairment.

This idea of being at the vanguard, spearheading the concept of combining technically advanced armor, premium materials and a comfortable fit, is the beating heart of THOKK®, and our commitment for the future.

This is The Armatura™ Project.

You asked, and we heard you!
WeaponMaster Gauntlets v1.5 are here, and already at many people's homes 🤩
Did you order WMGs recently? No worries, you'll be deivered v1.5! We're not leaving you behind 😉

But THOKK being THOKK, we're not leaving behind older customers either! Early adopters have been the people who allowed us to start up.
Over the course of the next few weeks, we will also release the WMG v1.5 outer gloves as replacement parts, compatible with v1 linings. This will mark the full kick-in of the gloves' two-piece structure, so that over time you can save money, replacing the outer part of the gloves with the latest version, while benefiting of all the innovation.

- The path into the future of Personal Armor -

Hello folks, Dario here.
It has taken me nearly all of 2024 to be in the position to write this post, but it is now time. This is a huge post, and probably the biggest news we have released to this date.

2024 has been The Year, and a lot has been done behind the curtains. Let's make a few things official, then:

1) We are expanding our tech portfolio, and THOKK s.r.l. has won a prize just a week ago here in Italy, as the "most innovative startup" of the 2024 edition, thanks to some of our next-gen softarmor products, and the enormous potential of scalability they offer for the global market scene. We are undergoing a few patenting processes at this moment, so I won't tell much more about this right now.

2) When Crossguard went bankrupt earlier this year, I have bought out all of the Patents regarding the ProGauntlets™. In this way, those haven't sunk into unknown hands in the wreckage, and I will be able to freely design gloves without risking to incur into violating someone else's intellectual rights. I cannot overstate how crucial this is for my freedom to design gloves, and how much that has held me back in the past.
NOTE: Please let me state clearly that I am not liable in any ways for any of the debts or other troubles of Crossguard, I have bought only their patents and IP rights, and not the business in any way or form.

3) We are branching out into other fields, effective immediately. In fact, our next products line will be dedicated to motorcycle riders, coming out in 2025. We will showcase some samples next week at EICMA, seizing the chance for arranging business meetings with some major players in the field, as we are discussing the possibility to also make products for some major European brands using our tech.
This motorsports line will exist back to back with the WeaponMaster line, cause modern knights need modern steeds ;)

It feels like it's been forever, but it's actually just 3 years since the first WeaponMaster® Gauntlets hit the scene, in the hands of the original backers, and it's just over 2 years since I have eventually founded THOKK s.r.l. to make the business scalable, and started selling in volumes to the public.
It has been years of blood and tears, through success and obstacles alike, but here we are, standing at the edge of the future of Personal Armor, and looking onwards.

I have some more stuff to talk about, relative to HEMA gear and to expanding the lineup, but I will do so in another post later. This is definitely enough for today :)

Thanks for being with me.

Hello everyone, Dario here.

Some of you might have not heard back from me over the last couple weeks, I'm sorry but I was very ill, and it was quite a ride. I'm back on my saddle though, and I will get back to you asap.

This said, last season I told you that 2024 would bring three major news. Stay tuned, because 2024's huge update nr.2 of 3 is finally landing later this week, and we're on fire.
