We work just as hard to get our shirts right as we do the bikes. The ladies told us they wanted an athletic tank they could wear and look and feel like a hottie while going anywhere and doing anything, including literally climbing the wall. We listened and found a tri blend racerback that would hold it's shape all day long and had a fabric composition that would still allow us to ice dye it by hand to bring that vintage esthetic we're all about. These tanks have been a runaway hit, with all kinds of kick-ass women putting them through all kinds of crazy adventures. They look amazing and we keep hearing the phrase, "Like a second skin"!
For the men, we hit the old school ringers hard. First we came out with a form flattering poly cotton grey & black ringer Tee that looks damn good on just about anyone doing anything. I know, because I sweated off thirty pounds this Summer and looked and felt great in that thing every damn time I wore it. For the days when it's just too flippin' hot for anything else, or you just want to flash your ink and your guns, we came up with a nice 100% cotton ringer tank in classic white & black or a hand dyed version to really get heads moving. These are literally my favorite clothes now, which, of course, was the whole idea.
The mechanical tiger logo on our shirts and dresses came from a local University of Victoria Fine Arts student, James Gray, one of the winners of a competition we ran in 2014. I personally liked his work so much that I had it tattooed on my arm during the first ever Tsunami Hawgs event in Port Alberni in 2015. Makes me smile every time I look at it. The "Aiming To Misbehave" motto on the back of both the Women's and the Men's gear, in their respective fonts, declares our firm intent to live life fully and to accept no limits. Because in the end that's what Kustom's all about, right? The results of all of our pride, attention to detail and craftsmanship shows in the old school style and enduring quality of every single piece we produce. Whether it's working fourteen hour days for a week at a bike rally up in the Rockies, or camping and hiking along waterfalls on Vancouver Island, our clothes keep us comfy and look great doing it. They'll do the same for you. So get over to our new Shirts & Rally Dresses page and grab some gear. You'll love it.

That's right, there's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Killman Customs Independent Buildhouse has made a grab out into the interwebs and stuff. Being a modern Evil Overlord isn't easy. In my day, sharks with laser beams on their fricken' heads was a big deal. Now everything's all "Meta", with "Memes" and "Social Media Presence" and "stuff". Well you know what? That's just fine, 'cause we're here to kick cookie-cutter conformity swiftly about the nether regions and to stomp with ill intent upon the neck of, "That's just how things are done" no matter where that crap crops up. We're like the Baskins Robbins of doom. Except we come in eight flavours. Which is better, because... just because. So, after much drinking of coffee, a bit of profanity and some good old fashioned bloody-minded slaps upside the monitors, it's our pleasure to announce that starting today, Well, a few days ago really, but there were some issues with some stuff we didn't really understand, and then there was some other stuff we just found it easier to ignore... well you get the idea. ahem. starting today, the Killman Customs Empire now stretches out into Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, Youtube and Vimeo! You'll see icons floating on the left side of all of our webpages. Clicking these icons will take you to our corresponding social media accounts. There are also going to be Facebook "like" and "share" buttons on the upper left of all of our website pages, so you can pick and choose which pages you want to give a shout out. That's right, we're now truly global like Skynet. So head on over to your social media platform of choice and just let it all happen! It's good to be the Evil Overlord Baby. For the last two years Killman Customs Independent Buildhouse has been touring British Columbia, Attending bike rallies, rides, festivals ... and Toy Runs. It's been our honour to end our season with the Port Alberni Toy Run each year. Vending the event means we miss the ride, so we shot this video to let the riders see what we see.
