Twin Six is a cycling apparel brand based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Started by two bike-crazy designers, Twin Six describes itself as "Alternative cycling Apparel," a truly alternative and somewhat singular brand packed with designs and ideas not found in other existing apparel brands.

We have received a variety of these "alternative" Twin Six items, so here are a few of them.
The models are the crew from Circles, who aim to be the "alternative" of the Nagoya cycling scene.
First up is TOMO-YAN
THE CABBY
Its form, a cross between a Euro-cut and an American-cut, is neither too tight nor too baggy, making for a perfect fit. The fact that they all feature raglan sleeves makes them perfect jerseys for BIKE GEEKS, capable of handling everything from racing and training to casual rides.
There are also various T-shirts available.
BIKE LANE WARRIOR T
Next is KSK
THE ARGYLE
Another appealing aspect of Twin Six is its contemporaneity. They produce various models in partnership with organizations like Cars R Coffins and M.O.R.C.
The most popular one, THE DOPERS SUCK, was created in 2004 by former top MTB and CX rider Brandon Dwight as a rider-led action to strongly protest the EPO doping that was causing a stir at the time.
Riders who sympathized with this stance would reveal the DOPERS SUCK T-shirt worn under their jerseys when they stepped onto the podium to make their point.
Be aware that it’s not just about looking cool.
Which means the T-shirts carry meaning as well (the poses, however, do not).
GOOD LUCK T
This seems to be a T-shirt from somewhere in South Boston, but I’m not sure what it means even after reading the description.
I think I'll try watching Gus Van Sant's "Good Will Hunting".
