Casual cotton
for the off-day.
For trail runners, gravel riders and everyone who plans their weekend around a mountain. Worn off the koppie, not on it — no lycra, no race kit, no numbers on your chest.
Worn off the mountain rather than on it.
Designed and printed here at home. Heavy, honest cotton for the coffee, the drive back and the braai that follows.
This is for
- —Dawn-patrol trail runners on the Table Mountain contour paths
- —Gravel riders three hours deep into a Karoo farm road
- —Anyone whose Saturday plan starts with a mountain and ends with a fire
- —The people who drive the bakkie, hold the bottles and make the coffee
This is not
- —Activewear. Nothing here wicks, compresses or claims a PB
- —Race kit. No sponsor logos, no start-line branding
- —Imported fast fashion. It is cut, printed and packed locally
- —Precious. Wear it in the dust, wash it, wear it again
Straight off the koppie
The whole range, nothing hidden: the pocket logo tee, the men's and women's centre logo tees, the classic hoodie, the washed cap and the washed bucket hat. Cut and printed in South Africa. We'd rather make a few things properly than forty things quickly.
From the collective
Five reviews from the trails
“Pulled it on after a cold morning on the Jonkershoek trails and never took it off. The fleece is heavy in the best way.”
“Finally a shirt that says I ride without shouting it. The fit is relaxed and the cotton has survived a dozen washes already.”
“Three hours of gravel and farm dust and the cap still looks better than when it arrived. Proper washed cotton, proper fit.”
“Ordered on the Monday, wearing it by the Thursday. Packaging was neat and the print is crisp, not that plasticky feel.”
“Perfect for the braai after a long ride. Would love a bigger size run, but the brim does its job in the Highveld sun.”
The collective
Kays before the braai, stories after.
Koppie started with a simple observation: the best part of a big day out is the part afterwards. The coffee at the trailhead, the fire, the exaggerated retelling. We make the clothes for that half of the story — soft, heavy, honest cotton with a South African sense of humour on the front.
