Yeah, it's our logo.

Rod & Kulture #23

Get the Fall issue of Traditional Rod and Kulture!

Issue 23

For guys who build their hot rods by getting dirt under their nails and a busted knuckle, rather than by whipping out a gold card.

New brand: Dunderdon

We have a new brand in the shop, Dunderdon. This Swedish workwear company was founded in Gothenburg in 1997 by carpenter Per-Ivan Hagberg, whose mission at Dunderdon is to create clothing for craftsmen who appreciate superior construction and smart design.

Car Kulture DeLuxe continues on in the spirit and style of the early issues. The kulture part of Car Kulture is even more evident. We have nostalgia drag cars, pre-1968 rods, gorgeous seductive DeLuxe Gals pin-ups in every issue, a few bobbers, and great cars: kustoms, hot rods, straight-axle asphalt burners, and more.

Issue 42

And don't forget that issues 19-24 are on sale for a mere 20 sek each. Check out our specials page.

Brace yourself!

A pair of braces have always been the matching companion for a pair of work pants.
Therefore we now offer Pike Brothers Heavy Duty braces for the Roamer Pant. The braces are hand made in Germany and are made to the highest quality standards.

The braces come in two colors, white/blue and brown.

White and blue.

The braces are made to go with the 1937 roamer pant for a traditional work wear look.

One Percent Magazine

Just in: One Percent Magazine from New Zealand. This one was hard to find!

One Percent Magazine -- for the one percent who don't care.
Tons of fun, well-produced new magazine featuring a, dare we say, perfect balance of hot rods, motorcycles and rock n roll. Great writing, photos and design. This is a high quality mag that doesn't take itself too damned seriously.

Read it and tell us what you think!

Getting reday for the winter season?

Summer is gone and so is the Swedish hot rod/kustom/bike season. Fall is the beginning of projects in the garage, dreaming of better weather and planning for next summer.

But some crazy riders are getting ready for winter and ice racing. Check out "Icy Riders".



For three years, documentary filmmaker Bengt Löfgren, followed the riders, mechanics and fans in the glorious world of Ice Speedway. Icy Riders is a film about dreams, ambition and aging during what might become the last season of the legendary ice speedway rider Posa Serenius.

Get it at the HepCat Store!
