Sweating the details //
A ton of thought and testing went into finding the right balance of merino wool & synthetic fibers for ideal performance & durability properties. The merino regulates temperature and keeps stinky microbes away, and the synthetic fibers dry quick and keep things durable. Crash in it, wash it, throw it in the dryer. Rinse, repeat.

This whole thing wasn’t easy.

HTBS grew from a simple problem: the ideal riding shirt didn’t exist. There were plenty of options, but they were either too flashy, too expensive, or didn’t actually perform as advertised. “Surely,” we thought, “somewhere in the world, there must be something better.”

The criteria was simple: low-key looks, strong technical performance, reasonable price. Not complicated, right? Shouldn’t be too hard. Steeled with resolve and brimming with hope, we set out to find the perfect riding shirt.

This endeavor soon proved our expectations wrong. 100% merino wool, gazing down from its lofty cycling pedestal, proved to be too fragile, too high-maintenance, and too expensive. Full-synthetic fibers, as tech-sounding as they are, simply don’t work well in places that have actual climates. Frustrated, we continued the search.

It took three years of riding, consideration, and constant hunting, but we found it. The perfect material: merino wool strategically blended with synthetic fibers. Trouble was, it was just material. Sheets of raw fabric. We had so shirt-ify it, and it turns out that is a s***load of work. But it was work we had to do. The world had to know.
