Bike accessories brand looking to start apparel label

what do you think of this?
It's an Aussie brand specializing in bike accessories but they're gonna come up with easy bike-friendly wear.
I'm one of a group of student designers collaborating with them, so any feedback and suggestions would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks!

Well, if all the clothing will be made in China (as nearly all their bags are now) then my shop wouldn't be interested. We're trying to promote US and locally-made product wherever possible.
I know it's like tilting at windmills but there it is.
Best of luck on the design end of things.

Hey thanks for your feedback and good wishes!
The brand director has assured us that at present KNOG's apparel line will be manufactured in Australia only.
We're working at it as we speak to design lifestyle-friendly bikewear.
Would you have any other comments on this?

Ok, yes.

I found it simultaneously hilarious and pathetic to be told that I take an XL in most womens' bike-wear. At 5' 7" and 160# I don't see myself as especially Extra-anything.

So while you're at it, you might want to consider offering a generous sizing range. If your stuff is cool, people of all sizes will want to wear it. There's my 2 cents' worth.

Cheers, and thanks.

I'm working on designing a man's cycling jacket per my husband's wishes. I don't know if the "look" goes with your brand, but this is what we're thinking:

As the founder member of www.flickr.com/groups/unisex/, I would love to see a unisex cyclewear range that is stylish, sexy and suitable for everyday wear.
Thanks for viewing :)
