Behind The Seams

Where Ideas Become Reality

From the first sketch to the pattern table, every Lusso piece begins its journey here in our Manchester Factory. Nothing is outsourced — we use the skills we've developed over the last 40 years of innovating.

Fabric First

We hand-select every fabric for each garment to ensure it performs perfectly for its purpose— before we cut a single panel.

Made in Manchester, by Us

Unlike most brands who outsource production abroad, we make every piece right here. That means better quality, faster innovation, and fair wages for our team.

Precision in Every Cut

In-house advanced CNC manufacturing gives us complete control over every detail. No corners cut (literally). No compromises.

Prototypes with Purpose

Before you wear it, we test, tweak, and refine it. Every Lusso garment is the result of relentless experimentation and perfection.

Real-World Tested

We don’t stop at the sewing machine. Every garment is tested by real riders — on real rides — to ensure it performs where it matters.

Checked, Rechecked, Perfected

Before anything leaves our Manchester Factory, it’s personally inspected by our team to guarantee Lusso quality on every ride.

From our Factory to your Door

When you buy from Lusso, you’re buying direct from the people who make your gear. That’s rare in cycling. By skipping distributors, agents, and inflated retail mark-ups, we’re able to use premium materials, obsess over the details, and deliver kit at prices that make sense.

The buzz around our Perform Carbon Bib Shorts

"I recently bought a pair of Perform Carbon Bib shorts. These are the best Bib Shorts that I've ever owned. They felt so good on a 30km ride that I wore them on a 214 km ride next. They were superb!! I have owned bibshorts that are supposed to be for endurance riding. Nothing compares to the comfort of the Lusso bibshorts. Lusso is definitely my "go to" to for cycling kit!"

"Bibshort awesomeness Purchased these shorts recently, needed to replace the old pair, which were great! Rode 150 miles in two days in them and they are faultless! Great fit super comfy. Truly a quality product!! Buy them you won’t be disappointed. I’m 5”10 32” waist I bought a medium pair."

"Did the job superbly I tried several different manufacturers looking for a good quality bib sort for long rides. Having brought the Lusso perform and tested them during the Ride London 100 mile event I could not be more pleased. Very comfortable on a 7 and a half hour ride."

"Perform Carbon Bib Shorts are perfectly fitted and really comfortable. I wore them on a 100 mile ride, basically the whole day in the saddle. Cannot complain about anything. A perfect item for long distance rides. Highly recommended!"

"Excellent shorts. Best shorts I’ve ever worn. Recent gravel epic over eight hours in the saddle and just comfortable all day long!"

"I bought 5 items in September & Have now had the chance to use them a fair bit since purchase. The bib shorts were really comfy (pad) on 80km plus rides in October in France for 2 weeks day after day. However the thigh bands were tight and they've offered to try a reduced cost larger size, which I hope to take them up on in the Spring. They seem to care about customers."

"Very comfortable shorts! Fast delivery. I’ve used Lusso bib shorts for many years (having tried others). My new perform shorts are better than ever . Bought two pairs as I was so confident!"

"So comfortable I ordered another pair! I have had Lusso shorts before so I knew these would be good but they were even more comfortable than my old ones. They are a snug fit but are soft and flexible so still feel fine after a five hour ride. I bought the blue ones as a change from my normal black and I love the colour. So happy I bought a grey pair as well. Sizing is good if you want race fit, go a size up if you want all day comfort."
