Kostüme is an entirely new frontier in technical outdoor apparel.
Our simple goal is to make the best products on Earth, without costing it.
We do this by using a limited edition pre-order batch model, meaning we only ever manufacture items that are already sold. This progressive approach eliminates the chronic waste, overstocking and discounting that legacy brands take for granted.
The result is that we can spend up to 3 times more on the spec of our products, without the usual luxury price tag. That means more of your money is being spent on product quality, including best-in-class recycled fabrics, increased innovation and a massively reduced environmental footprint. It's a true win-win.
But don't just take our word for it. Read our 10/10 reviews, Product of the Year awards, and verified customer feedback.

Our Story
Kostüme makes technically innovative cycling apparel focused on all-day performance, comfort and utility.
Developed in the UK for the unique demands of Audax and multi-day long distance cycling, Kostüme products are equally at home riding events like GBDURO or Paris Brest Paris as your local café loop, where the limited edition artist designs will make sure you stand out from the crowd.
Every Kostüme product is crafted entirely from premium recycled materials and released in limited edition batches of 350. Combined with our pre-order model, this innovative approach to apparel production drastically cuts waste, meaning we can spend much more on our products than other brands.
“I don't know what Kostüme has done with the Lycra but – oh my – it's the nicest thing I've ever put next to my skin." - Jo Burt, Road.cc 10/10 review
SERIOUS FUN
Kostüme was founded to challenge the status quo, developing stylish, durable and highly functional products to help you express yourself both on and off the bike, however you choose to ride.
We believe that cycling should be fun. And we take fun seriously so that you don't have to.
Our Story
RIDEWEAR REDEFINED
Although our products might look familiar, we’ve gone back to the drawing board on every last detail.
From fabrics to features and construction, at Kostüme we only green-light a product if it measurably moves the needle on what's come before.
Our products are developed and tested on some of the most extreme rides imaginable. So, whether your idea of fun is 10km or 1,000km, you can trust us to have your back (and legs, and bum).
“The quality of Kostüme's products is outstanding and the small-batch production clearly pays dividends." - Suvi Loponen, Off.road.cc
PLANET FIRST
Kostüme was founded on the principles of ‘Planet First’, and we apply it rigourously to every single decision we make.
Every piece of Kostüme apparel is made in partnership with two of the leading independent European family-run factories, combining decades of bleeding-edge manufacturing experience with our fastidious approach to sustainability and obsessive attention to detail.
Our aim is to be transparent about the impact of our actions, and we are working hard to close the loop on truly circular production. We don’t have all the answers yet, but if we aren’t striving to make a change, why should you?

Our Story
THE ART OF CYCLING
After more than a decade spent working with some of the leading artists of our generation, art is in our DNA. We love the rich history and heritage of cycle racing, but it doesn’t define us. We are equally passionate about art, music and culture.
Our exclusive artist edits are at the heart of why we exist, offering collaborators a dynamic moving canvas to express their creativity, and limited edition apparel, accessories and print editions for you to express yours.
For those wanting something more understated, seasonal Kostüme edits will feature signature products in more muted tones.
Something for everyone.
