City Wind Jacket too! Love mine, but one of the worst sellers of all time.
Was a sad day when I didn't put down a buy for the 3/4 (Fixed) Shorts - they were my first ever Rapha purchase - and full price with my own money! Still have a couple of pairs for occasional use, though have had to clear out most of the Rapha wardrobe now.
I was lucky to inherit the Mk1 design, so cant take credit, but was able to work on updates over the years. Exactly as you say, so much refined attention to detail, when the other jerseys on the market were relatively basic polyester.
And that’s a good point; there were some great products, that owners swore by, but just sank. Softshell Gilet, Fixed Jersey, original Winter Gloves. I dropped out of bidding on a Medium Hooded Tracktop when it got to well over £100 last year!
