Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Meh, Liberty is a big brand and I think the Paul Smith + Rapha cap cost more than that.

I have no idea what Liberty is .. tl;dr anyone?

Indeed, I have a pair of NikexLiberty trainers and they cost the same as the non-Liberty version of the shoe. Certainly not a 100% markup.

Somewhat floundering "lux" department store which is known for its own line of fabrics.

So like Harrods?

Nicer than Harrods. Harrods has an awful lot of tat in it simply because it's famous and they need to have cheap stuff for the tourists which "being Harrods" attracts. The things Liberty carries tends to be better than that.

The fabric patterns are nice, the haberdashery part of the store is really lovely.

When I filled in my survey earlier this year to get the 20% discount code, I did mention that, asking for a return to simplier, classic designs and colours. Who knows if they will listen. Given one of the options on the survey was "do you want a cobblestone print jersey to celebrate the Paris-Roubaix" I think they won't.

The white lining stuff on my Paul Smith city jacket has started peeling and flaking :( is this common and is there any way of repairing this? Gruber sweat must be corrosive...

Sods law that despite years of good service it happens when I don't have the cash to spunk on a new one. Boo.

I remember that question. I note my request for a Mario Cipollini inspired thong has yet to make it to the store. Must be still in development.

It's under the brim in a pink that is very close to the pink of the pattern.

I know the feeling. Two pairs of my gloves are on their way out at exactly the same time.

Got the new PT Lightweight Gilet this morning. Perfect. Exactly what a vest should be. Can't wait to use it. And... it is VERY lightweight.

You have my ears perked.

Do any of the gilets have a zipped or rear pockets?

I have lost one, the left, of my white classic mitts.

Bugger.

Think they'll sell me just the one?

That sucks.

Incidentally, how do you keep them clean, or don't you? I've a pair I've only worn about 5 times, as can't keep anything white.

I have a knackered was-white-once left giro LX mitt you can have if you want... I lost the right.

Ha!

The classic gilet has rear pockets & a small zipped pocket on side

Don't give up on it.

I lost a town glove and then happened to find it two weeks later at a bus stop.

Thanks!

randonee shorts in purple and yellow working a treat on holiday in Malta!

Next to crazy flower print swim shorts by the sea, the colours seem positively tame.

Unlikely to actually use them for cycling.

Merino Boxers better come back soon. I don't really wear any other underwear these days and I find they tend to last about a year - true to form, a couple of good pairs are starting to get holey. I can't keep washing the same couple of pairs! Hot pink and navy blue again, please. :)

They're good, aren;t they? So snug. The fit is ace, although the fly is a bit, er, agressive. Quite hard to get your flow right with it.

They were on the eBay store the other day
