REV’IT! Introduces the New Lewis Selvedge TF Riding Jeans

REV’IT is unveiling its latest riding gear, the Lewis Selvedge TF denim jeans, which may appear like regular jeans at first glance, but they offer far more than meets the eye.

Constructed with Cordura, Coolmax, and Thermolite denim in areas prone to abrasion and flexibility, these jeans provide serious protection without compromising on style.

The REV’IT Lewis Selvedge TF jeans are designed to look like regular jeans but function like motorcycle gear. The Seesmart armor is slim and flexible, allowing for natural movement. Additionally, the 13-ounce Cordura denim is combined with Coolmax and Thermolite panels to enhance durability and flexibility in crucial areas. The jeans also feature reflective inserts sewn into the hem for added safety.

The “TF” in Lewis Selvedge TF stands for Tapered Fit, offering a modern slim-cut look throughout the legs. The jeans have a dark wash, gold stitching, and are designed to age and develop a worn-in look over time.

Brickmania Launches Officially Licensed Blues Brothers Kit For $210

Brickmania has released a new model of the iconic Bluesmobile from the movie “Blues Brothers.” This kit is officially licensed and includes a small replica of the black-and-white 1974 Dodge Monaco along with two minifigures of Jake and Elwood Blues.

The kit, which consists of 332 Lego bricks and Brickmania elements, is now available for pre-order. While it is not a limited edition, it is uncertain when it will be restocked after the initial batch sells out. The kit retails for $210, and it comes with full-color printed instructions and custom-printed elements for the vehicle. The Dodge Monaco features functional doors and the roof-mounted loudspeaker, just like in the movie, giving it an authentic look.

 

Brickmania specializes in creating custom building kits using Lego bricks and unique elements. The company offers a wide range of products, with many of them being military-themed vehicles. Their catalog includes warships, airplanes, tanks, trucks, artillery batteries from various wars, and even replicas of the Apollo 11 Command Module, the Vostok 6 Soviet spacecraft, and a Viking raiding ship that retails for $990.

The release of the Bluesmobile kit in brick form coincides with the 40th anniversary of the “Blues Brothers” movie in 2020. The film, which was released in 1980, follows the adventures of the characters Jake and Elwood Blues portrayed by Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, respectively. In the movie, the brothers embark on a mission to raise money for an orphanage that is facing tax issues.

During their journey, the Blues Brothers find themselves in trouble, leading to a 106-mile car chase into downtown Chicago. This epic chase scene involves over 100 police cars, tanks, and helicopters. Now, with the Bluesmobile Lego kit, fans can recreate this action-packed scene on a smaller scale at home.

For years, Lego enthusiasts have been using Lego bricks to build all kinds of vehicles. While not every vehicle make and model is available in official Lego kits, this hasn’t stopped people from creating their own designs. Lego offers a variety of vehicle sets, and Lego Technic adds even more intricacy and detail to the building process, resulting in lifelike final products.
