ALCHEMIST
Alchemist is a Boulder, Colorado-based clothing company, focusing mainly on high-end, sustainable cycling apparel. The company was founded in 2010 as an evolution from it's parent company, Spare Tire Sports, LLC. It was founded by Jeff Wu, who is an ER doctor and avid cyclist. The company was conceived as a mission to reconcile the eco-minded culture of cycling and cyclists with the not-so-eco-friendly selection of cycling apparel available for riders. The origin of the monkey logo is an elusive secret within the company.

Cycling Apparel
Alchemist is known for producing premium technical and casual clothing for cycling. The line of offerings include custom cycling jerseys and apparel, organic and recycled t-shirts and casual wearmerino wool and VeloWool® jerseys and trainers, and baggy knickers. They also offer cowbells and graphic design services.

The company is the only cycling apparel company in Colorado to offer custom cycling jerseys, full kits, and accessories, that are made in the U.S.A. and utilize recycled and Blue Sign® materials. Recycled fabrics are sourced from the North Carolina company, Repreve. Aptly named HOMEGROWN, this domestically-produced line of custom apparel has become the industry leader for both high-end performance, and environmental stewardship. Alchemist is also the purveyor of organic cotton and recycled polyester blended t-shirts (as per their shirt label, three plastic bottles per shirt!) and hoodies--offering customization of all of these products for teams, stores, and events.

Environmental Responsibility
In addition to offering made in the U.S.A., recycled and Blue Sign® approved materials, Alchemist supports numerous environmental and non-profits through donations and advocacy.
