Since 2018
Our ride
We make clothes for people who love the sport: the amateur spirit, riding together, the stories you tell afterwards. Goods that last and that mean something.
Born in Mechelen
Erstwhile started in 2018 at a kitchen table in Mechelen. Brothers Evert and Roelof and their childhood friend Rutger wanted to make honest, well-made clothing inspired by cycling heritage and the spirit of sport.
Today you'll find us online and in a handful of good shops. The idea hasn't changed.
What we stand for
- Authentic. Every piece tells a story.
- Transparent. We work with makers who treat their people well.
- Sustainable by default. Common sense in every product and every step.
- Made to last. Clothes you'll wear for years.
- For the love of sport. The ride, the coffee, the beer afterwards.
Enjoy the ride, and keep having fun doing it.
All the best,
The Erstwhile team
