Brandon..
cycle de ORO's #1 clothing supplier, Louis Garneau still makes them. I have
em in stock if you get desperate!
As an interesting aside, Louis Garneau hisself used to come to our area in
the spring along with other Shimano team mates in the early 1980s. The guys
with him included David Ware, Chris Carmichael, Tony Chastain, Wayne Stetina,
Bruce Donaghy and even Danny Clark on year! I used to cash their sponsorship
checks for them and they would stay in town, ranging out to do the various
early spring races in the southeast. The Tour de Moore was a big one in those
days with it's 100 mile point to point format.
Anyhow, for a year or two those guys were riding full Shimano AX bikes built
with only-a-few-made team aero Tomasinis. You can see Dave Ware and Wayne in
action on these bikes here:

I many years ago got David Ware's team frame from him (he retired in
Greensboro and is a very good wood worker now! He made a lot of the wooden
stuff in my store..) and reassembled it with mostly NOS Ax stuff. Pictures of
it are here:

Anyway, not just because I know him from way back, I think Louis G. makes darn good stuff and he still has the mesh back gloves in his line!
