We’ve teamed up with a fellow rider and bad-ass artist, Osiris Rain, to create one of our first, limited edition, artist collaboration shirts. His take on the Mods vs. Rockers subcultures is really an amazingly detailed and layered interpretation, representing many facets of the history and iconography we’ve all grown to know. We’re looking to [...]
Cafe Rags just signed on to be out at the AMCA (Antique Motorcycle Club of America) Southern National Meet at the Denton Farmpark later this month! The theme this year is “Flatheads”, and we’re hoping that our own style of Cafe Racer Vintage will fit right in with all of these sweet old rides. The [...]
Have you seen them? These are, as usual, 100% American Made, American Apparel Cafe Racer shirts. These are 90%/10% Cotton/Polyester and printed direct to garment, so they don’t even feel like they have printing on them! These are ultra-premium shirts but feel lightweight, so they’re going to be great in the heat of the summer [...]
So we’ve already had a question or two about that sweet custom Ducati pics that we show in our post about Raleigh Euro Bike. Here’s one of them again for those that haven’t checked it out. Well, we actually had the chance to meet the custom Ducati guru himself, Mr. Johann Keyser of Moto Motivo [...]
We had a blast at Raleigh Euro Bike recently, meeting a bunch of the North Carolina guys from Do The Ton Triangle. This was the third year for the event, held at The Shops at Seaboard Station, and it looks like it’s going strong. These guys had trophies for the crowd favorites in about a [...]
Cafe Rags will be making the trip to Raleigh, NC to peddle our t-shirts and gear at the 3rd Annual Raleigh Euro Bike show later this month. “Do the Ton, Triangle” is staking out the Shops at Seaboard Station for the show. Looks like a great off-street venue for the show with plenty of food, [...]
Cafe Rags will be bringing our vintage cafe racer motorcycle t-shirts and gear to the “Meltdown Vintage Bike Show” in Hendersonville, NC (south of Asheville) later this month. The Southern Appalachian Brewery will be hosting the show, so great beers are guaranteed to go well with the cafe racers and bands, among other highlights. The [...]
Welcome to spring everyone! In honor of awesome riding weather and sweaty, worn out shirts everywhere, we’re making our shirts even easier to stock up on. All of our 100% Made in the USA cafe racer t-shirts are now $18.99! Head to our gear page and buy five now! (OK. Maybe not five. Three; and [...]
Our thanks goes out to Kenny Sargent of Speed Freaks TV for sporting one of Cafe Rags’ Limited Edition “Loud Pipes Kick Ass – USA” cafe racer t-shirts while interviewing Danica Patrick at the Daytona 500! Kenny has been a supporter of Cafe Rags since the beginning, and we really appreciate it, but it was [...]
So of course one of the rad things about working in this industry is meeting so many different people. We’re lucky to have so many great cafe racer riders here in Charlotte, North Carolina, that sometimes we get a bit complacent. But our heads were jarred a little bit after having the chance to hang [...]
Well, at Cafe Rags, we definitely want all of our cafe racer buddies riding safely and upholding all of the traffic laws and stuff. (We really just don’t want you getting your new cafe racer t-shirt all bloody or marring that vintage motorcycle metal.) Here’s a PSA we found. Just remember, when these Brits say [...]
Sadly, we found this short news article about the state of the American clothing industry, which proves that it’s nearly non-existent. Although we do ride imports from other countries, we think it’s pretty easy to take a stand on some of the simpler things like clothing and local food and goods. It’s why our stuff [...]
That’s right. Thanks to our close relationship with the cafe community in Charlotte, Cafe Rags was invited to design the poster for this year’s Mods vs. Rockers Vintage Motorcycle event! Click on the image below to check out the awesome web site the organizing crew has set up, complete with sponsor links, schedules, and vendor [...]
Yep. The first rumble to make the Cafe Rags to-do list this year is none other than the first annual Mods vs. Rockers in Charlotte, North Carolina! On Saturday June 2nd 2012, the Queen City will be invaded by hoards of vintage motorcycles and scooters paying homage to the two conflicting British youth subcultures of [...]
So have you heard of Rocket Betty? Cafe Rags learned about this awesome women’s clothing company a few months ago at a rumble in Raleigh/Durham North Carolina. Since we can’t get enough of our ladies rocking vintage 50′s and 60′s pinup-styled threads, we wanted to let everyone know about this! Rocket Betty describes the clothing [...]
We’re really proud of the fact that we design, source and produce all of our gear in the good ol’ US of A. It’s important that we keep as much industry here as we can, so it’s great that Cafe Rags is getting listed on “Made in the USA” web sites which only promote those [...]
Cafe Rags will be heading to the east coast this weekend to set up our mobile shop at the 5th Annual Port City Rumble, hosted by the Maulers Car Club. Wilmington will be the host to vintage cars, bikes, pinups, live music and the death defying Creeper Race. (Check out the past Creeper Races on [...]
