PhilDAS-
Very true,
i remember when a lot of the early stuff came out - i saw a guy at an airport (i think this was in Singapore) who had one of the original softshells and wondered what it was / who made it.
Rapha got a bit of grief from helmet / road safey lobbyists / team kit wearing cyclists about the all black thing but it looks great.
I still have my Swift Jersey and lanterne rouge cap that i got for coming "heroically" (more like fat and unfit) last on a ride from Manchester to chesterfield finishing with an Italian meal that i missed....
I think the bright coloured stuff / brevet is excellent but tie dye.. (not for me)

I’m going back to my 10 years old rapha clobber- all black.
Not particularly visible but very stealth and not 60/70s inspired at all. Some of that tie die stuff looks like an accident happened in the washing machine....
