Forget a Tailored Suit, Do You Need a Custom Backpack?

Cimoro, which at the moment, is just Alasdair and one other employee, currently produces a tight product line of bags and accessories that includes multiple ultralight modular running vests, printed running caps made from Nikwax Analogy fabric, and a tri-point carabiner-style key ring. Many of the designs include details only someone with a deep understanding of tailoring could generate, like the mountain pack with a vest-style front that helps ensure it doesn’t bounce as you wear it, even when loaded up with water flasks, ice axes, and skis.

And here’s where the future element of Alasdair’s master craftsmanship comes in. To make the best possible bespoke sportswear, he is employing as many cutting edge techniques as he can. This includes bringing emergent 3D body-scanning technology to the brand. He’s recently implemented photogrammetry, a method of approximating a three-dimensional structure from two dimensional images. Roughly the same technology used at NOAA to record features of the sea floor, this technology captures exact measurements and subtle contours of the form, allowing for the creation of garments with superior articulation for wearer’s movement and intended use.
