Old Fashioned Standards (OFS) is a small local business based on the unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations which is now known as "Vancouver, Canada." Old Fashioned Standards is dedicated to providing you with the highest quality products that are made for a good time, handmade to last a lifetime. Operated by women, the company is owned and run by Cassandra Bailey, a professionally trained pattern drafter, seamstress, and designer. Every piece of paper, and fabric passes through her hands with a critical eye for perfection. She is always evolving, improving and expanding her knowledge, products, and brand. 

Old Fashioned Standards specializes in custom design with a speciality in custom pattern drafting. Custom fit, custom design, custom colours, and custom features all fall under this category and anything is possible when working with OFS. The company began by working exclusively with 100% up-cycled Australian Outback Oilcloth, but has since branched out to also work with high-end and ethically sourced materials including selvedge denim, bull denim twill, corduroy, and assorted wools, all of which can be employed in the creation of a custom bag.

There is nothing like a bike trip to help you know exactly what pockets and packing you need. Whether you are hitting the road for a a long bike adventure or just need to get your things from point A to point B, some weatherproof, customized saddle bags may be the way to go. 

Got a specific bike? Or favourite essential pockets? We can design the perfect dream bags together.
