Does anyone have a recommendation for a shirt similar to the (unfortunately now defunct) Kitsbow Icon? Honestly, I use mine 98% of the time off the bike, so the rec does not have to be from a bike-specific company. I’m just looking for that style of shirt, and of similar quality (but price tag doesn’t have to be so high 😊). ---

Maybe reach out to the former CEO on LinkedIn. [https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidbillstrom/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidbillstrom/) He is active on there and seems to be still involved with the apparel space. Who knows, maybe he knows of some leftover Kitsbow products floating around. ---

Unfortunately the price is actually higher but the Beringia Farallon Shirt is the closest thing I’ve seen from a material, style and fit perspective.

@Ryan_Simonovich thanks, worth a shot @Chuck_Moore appreciate it, I’ll take a look! ---

Try searching for Cascada Land shirt and are Search And State still trading? ---

Any direct experience with the Cascade shirt? Looks nice…but the $45 shipping to U.S. is hard to stomach. Especially if it doesn’t end up fitting. ---

Ah, I’m in the UK so didn’t think to factor that in . No, no personal experience with the brand but [bikepacking.com](http://bikepacking.com) seem to rate them … [Cycling-Friendly Flannels and Bikepacking Button-Downs - BIKEPACKING.com](https://bikepacking.com/gear/cycling-friendly-flannels/) ---

I wish I had bought more of Kitbow’s product. Their unlined bib knickers are one of my favorite fall riding shorts. ---

Yeah, I wish they had said at one point “place any last orders now” but I do get that when they pulled the plug, they were losing money and if they let people place last minute orders that would only lose them more money… ---

I’m pulling for you to order this and let me know! ---

A company called Roark made a near replica a few years back from Pendleton wool. I bought one and it was nearly indistinguishable from my Icon. Not sure if they still make those flannels but it’s worth exploring. I think maybe it was called a Norseman flannel?… ---

Might be a stretch but maybe reach out to Ornot; I believe they bought all of Kitsbow’s fabrics… ---

Oh I didn’t know that, interesting. Funnily enough I just placed an ornnot order…and of course forgot the member discount until this post connected the dots for me 😭
