Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Lombardi arrived today, surprised how heavy weight it is. Fit is pretty standard. Buttons are a bit of a faff. Probably needs the scarf for the full look.

Trade team caps, £5 from the rapha outlet..

Dandy

sigh too late!

Is there an improvement with the new PT Winter Hat? I'm thinking about getting the new fit one.

Sorry! Didn't have a chance to photograph the difference, but new product copy alludes to the revised construction;

There's much less bulk at the front peak seam, with improved stretch in the round, so more comfortable, no more seam impression, and perfect under a helmet.

Rapha need size options for hats, like Assos and Walz.

I have a BNWT medium Sky jersey I'd like to swap for a bigger lightweight jersey if anyone's interested.

It would need posting.

Or does anyone know if the 'breathable performance fabric' on this is a bit like the lightweight jersey material? These the mens one above, a bit older I think, is thin material with mesh sides, maybe they're the same?

Cheers.

What can people tell me about the upcoming PT Shadow stuff? I've heard mixed things about release dates, ranging from early/mid October to Christmas!

Not sure whether to hold out or just go get a PT Soft Shell...

Here's a hint from customer service...

A member of staff in the London store told me the shadow Jersey and bibs would be arriving in October last week

Amazing team effort to build excitement through the medium of confusement and bewilderising. Chap-o Raffas!

Pre-ordered!

Get the PT Soft Shell. The shadow Jersey is nice but for Winter or wet days a PT jacket will be the Vetter choice

PTSS only available online in S/XS, so unless you're tiny or near a shop with more stock you might have to wait anyway.

Selling them off to introduce new retina scolding colour.?

'crosses fingers'

I've dropped them an email asking about the Shadow stuff. Not getting my hopes up though...

If the Shadow jersey can match the waterproofing ability of the PTSS, I'll wait

Has anyone tried on the new track jacket yet?I'm curious what they mean by "new fit". I have a couple of the older hooded sweaters, and quite like the idea of one without the hood.

As well, I have been considering a PT jacket, but worry that sizing up as they suggest might leave me with unwanted additional length in the arms and body. I normally wear a medium in all their non PT stuff, and am only 173cm tall.

Yeh the peak has been tweaked based on feedback.

I've got a brand new LH Black Grand Tour Glove if it's any use to anyone? Or failing that if anyone has a spare right somehow I'd be interested in it.

apologies for the spam (not really) but I have two track tops for sale in this thread

New chino type trousers look great but why no 38 waist for us 6'6" guys and gals?!!!!

The 36 is the same as the old 38

yep the aggressive taper is what I've been looking for, finally going to upgrade from £15 Uniqlo jeans!
