About


"Custom without compromise." ~ Randy Windle, Arkansas bikepacking's spiritual heartbeat

South City Stitchworks is just me, Zach Smith. My guiding principle is to build perfectly functional bags that fit and perform while ensuring you get what you want and need. Every bag is handmade, built-to-order, drawing inspiration from the brave riders who have trusted this gear on their epic journeys. From The Tour Divide to the Arkansas High Country Race and DOOM, from the East Texas Showdown to the Olympic 420, from home to the office and beyond, SCSW bags have conquered countless wild miles near and far, built with love and craftsmanship to tackle any endeavor.  

While most of the gear is built-to-order, I occasionally offer limited runs of universal gear, so be sure to follow @southcitystitchworks socials (Instagram) to stay up-to-date on all of the latest releases. 

Please shoot me a note anytime through the contact page with project queries, any type of question, and/or big bike adventure dreams. 

Thanks for reading!

Peace, 
Zach

*Opting to back a small business is a mindful, considerate, and kind act. Although there may always be a less expensive option available, the level of quality and functionality is usually on par with its cost. I greatly appreciate your generosity both in the past and present!
