Cyclewear studio Milltag turns it up with Motorhead collaboration

Posted on by

The cyclewear studio, Milltag has partnered with Global Merchandising Services to launch a new range of cycle gear inspired by the heavy rock legends, Motorhead, tapping into the vibe of some of the band’s iconic song titles Iron Horse, White Line Fever and Keep Us On the Road.

Produced in partnership with GMS, the collection promises to be ‘more metal than most bikes’ as it arrives emblazoned with the band’s famous ‘War Pig’ logo and motto, Everything Louder Than Everything Else.

Milltag founder and creative director, Ed Cowburn, said: “It’s with great excitement that we start 2021 with a collaboration with Motorhead that should blow away the cobwebs.

“We hope the collection will reach a wider audience of music loving cyclists who want to wear cycling clothing that means something more to them than just another item of functional clothing.”

In developing the line, Milltag has opted for its club fit jersey which uses a roomier fit while not being too baggy. The collection is billed a ‘perfect when worn as a full set, but still easily identifiable as individual pieces.’ The cap and snoof feature large scale designs of the ‘War Pig’ logo.

Jens Drinkwater, Global Merchandising Services, added: “Milltag produces excellent, technical cycling apparel and we are incredibly excited to see fans take to the road in this unique collaboration.”

The range will be available for pre order via the Milltag website www.milltag.cc from Friday February 5th for a limited time (ending February 20th) for delivery in April.

WildBrain CPLG and cycle brand Milltag launch Twin Peaks capsule collection

Posted on by

WildBrain CPLG has secured a deal with the London-based cyclewear brand Milltag for a new capsule collection celebrating the 30th anniversary of the original TV series, Twin Peaks.

Brokered by WildBrain CPLG on behalf of ViacomCBS Consumer Products, the Twin Peaks x Milltag collection features a full range of cycle clothing, including a jersey, shorts, mitts, snood and cap, and will be available for a limited time in the UK this summer.

The range combines cutting-edge garment technology, high-performance fabrics and a slim fit. The collection’s earthy green and brown tone colourway is inspired by the natural surroundings depicted in Twin Peaks, and is adorned with the logos of iconic local businesses from the series including Double R diner, and the Packard Sawmill.

Laura Quinn, category manager UK at WildBrain CPLG, said: “Twin Peaks has an avid and highly engaged following thanks to its bold, original and genre-bending approach which remains influential to this day. With the show now celebrating its 30th anniversary, we’re very excited to be collaborating with Milltag and translating the brand into a dynamic and high-quality cyclewear range, which we’re sure will be a huge hit with fans across the UK.”

Ed Cowburn, owner at Milltag, added: “Milltag’s favourite projects are ones that hold emotions for people. Whether it be producing products based around someone’s favourite film, album, band or in this case, television show. We like to think that these products mean more to people than a regular off the rack design. Hopefully that means they’ll treasure and look after them, leading to a more sustainable model of consumption as clothing is worn to the very end of its usage cycle.

“We’re incredibly proud of this project as fans of the show. The chance to add to the rich world created by Mark Frost and David Lynch in 1990 is a dream come true and we like to think we’ve designed something true to the essence of Twin Peaks.”

 Created by Mark Frost and David Lynch, Twin Peaks debuted on ABC in April 1990 with an original two seasons and has become one of the most iconic television shows of all time.

In 2017, a third season of Twin Peaks launched on Sky Atlantic. Set in a sleepy Washington town which is rocked by the murder of a young girl, Twin Peaks explores crime, loss, grief and life in small-town America.
