781.0. "WOOL RIDING SHORTS?" by WITNES::MACONE () Tue Jul 19 1988 14:15

    Does anyone know where I can get some wool riding shorts?  I've
    pretty much determined that I will have to get them custom made,
    but I have no idea on where to start finding someone to do it. 
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.
    
    Thanx,

    I think Bike Nashbar has wool shorts. Give them a call.

    Jones Cycle Wear in Lunenburg, MA should be able to make you some
781.3What happened to PROTOGS ???ECAVAX::AUGHINBAUGHMon Jul 25 1988 19:2114
    I still have a treasured pair of Protogs wool riding shorts, wool
    leg warmers, and wool arm warmers. They are starting their sixth season
    this fall, and have been darned more times than I care to enumerate.
    
    None of the other wool products I have seen come anywhere close
    to their quality. I, like you, am seeking new shorts. Protogs has
    dropped out of sight. A victim of the polypro technology wars I
    fear. I believe the Protog line originated in New England. Maybe
    someone from that area could elaborate on whether they are still
    in business.                                                
    
    Please, no comments on the advantages of the new synthetics. 
    
    
781.4Nature Wear for ex Protogs stuffENGINE::PAULHUSChris @ MLO8-3/T13 dtn 223-6871Mon Aug 08 1988 18:407
    	Protogs has either folded or gotten out of the wool shorts
    business. Nature Wear on Long Island (frequent exhibitor at NEARs
    and GEARs) is picking up some of the slack.  I get my gloves, King
    Tuts, etc. from them.  But for shorts, give Grace Jones a call.
    Custom made stuff is great and Jones's prices are reasonable!
