It’s ‘Bust-A-Cap’ season!

Inspired by caps worn by train yard workers in the 1920s~, FW have re-imagined the proportions and fabrication taking this one to another level!

The outer shell is made up of an over-dyed, heavy cotton twill fabric with a strong vertical texture. For contrast, the brim and outer edges have been made with mid to large scale corduroy fabric.

Thanks to the pattern, the crown’s shape has a classic rounded silhouette but can be easily worn for a modern-vintage style!

Freewheelers have trawled through vintage archives to bring us the "Grease Monkey" Overall trousers inspired by the uniforms worn by American car mechanics in the 1930s.

Construction-wise, this pair features classic workwear details such as reinforced double fabric on the knee section and back pockets, ensuring they remain durable even through heavy wear. As usual, Freewheelers have packed this garment with a ton of amazing details with a specially-developed red chambray fabric used for the pocket bags and lining on the vintage-spec one-piece fly! Other workwear details include a hammer loop on the back rise, as well as a tool pocket on the thigh area.

The fit is elegantly shaped for an authentic early 20th-century silhouette with a high rise, comfortable thigh gradually tapering to the leg opening.

Boo! A spooky mengarine of creatures coming to you hot from Freewheelers latest drop! Two new tees to feast on! 

Firstly, the mysterious Sasquatch is one of the inspirations for FW's latest accessories. Such a beast represents the strength and rarity of FW's products with a comical approach.

Then, the mysterious Great Horned Owl is the mascot for Freewheeler's "Bubo" and is a symbol in Native American cultures that is both revered for its connection to the divine and feared for its uncanny, human-like haunting shrieks known to terrify campers exploring the great outdoors! Freewheelers have chosen this mascot to represent the strength and rarity of "Bubo" products with a connection to classic Americana.

Both are made with FW’s latest specially developed heavyweight loopwheel fabric - it has a super smooth touch and is so breathable for your everyday wear! The screen-printed design has an amazing, textured colourway that will gradually fade to a crackled look in time.

With a double stitch ribbed collar, this will last for years and become comfier in time!

Freewheelers - don't be caught unawares by the beast!
