Regarding pocket position: We looked at putting pockets on the bum. These pockets will always get in the way of the saddle and by bulking here will mean less slack on the front of the short.Pockets on the side of the short run the risk of having their content falling out unless there are zips. Once again when you bulk up here it means less slack on the leg and the pedal stroke. This is also a prime position for your "pita problem".We settled on two zipped pockets above the quad as this position, even when bulked up, still allows the leg to move freely when pedaling. By placing the pocket above the leg when seated on the bike, means contents of your pocket are more likely to stay in position in the zipped pocket. The pockets are designed to carry a car-key, cash, ICE card, credit cards, map, Activity card/permits, gels and a box of smarties if you would like.Regarding the question about the prices for an Apres Velo tee that you and Cav' have posed: It is a really high quality t-shirt brand.They are either 100% cotton or a Cotton-Elastene.We import the shirts from Australia.There are strict requirements for the shirts regarding manufacturing and printing.Wash and shrink tests are done on each sample to ensure the shirt you buy won't colour bleed or shrink.The prints on the shirts won't fade or crack and will stay vivid.We have looked at producing them locally at a quality level that Apres Velo would be happy with. The price works out almost the same and we would have to make large quantities.We would far rather bring in a wider range and smaller quantities to offer the public.
