I am still impressed about the V3 of palace x rapha. how did this collection made to production? Have all designers been on holiday?

Only you can get away with this JAH-Tim. Looking good.

I think the answer to my question up there is yes. :)

Ouch

grim .. cant be good news for employees

do not forget Rapha ownd by the Waltrons. For them buying it its like for us buying a rapha kit.
Still a good sign that Rapha doesn´t listen to the core fan base and keep releasing 60% shit.

they already let all designers go according to new releases

No wonder there is so much beige now.

Rapha is just the Simon Carter of cycling clothing now.
Have they thought of doing a floral collaboration with them?

hype AF

Seven years of losses is brutal. Basket case of a business.

People still buy it though!

Seven years consecutively would suggest it's done on purpose to reduce the owners' tax burden from other assets.

Only on discount!

I find it hard to believe people are lapping up the casual stuff!? I doubt I'm the target demographic but seems like such a waste of time and energy.

I do like the new pro team gilet. The fit really suits me. I did try some other items but they really didn’t work for me.

I dunno. Quite like my old Simon Carter stuff. Also, unlike some purveyors of floral shirts, as far as I’m there was no unrequested physical contact from the over-tactile boss feller in its production.

When I started at the velodrome jeans and a sky jersey was the de rigour uniform of the cycling douche bag, the worst cunts that are bringing little Tarquin and his £5k carbon track bike that he’ll have grown out of in 6 months, the heart rate monitor, power pedals and shades for a taster session types.

The uniform is definitely now rapha jeans, rapha t shirt and, during the colder weather, a rapha hoody.

RIP merino boxers, no longer listed, that's me out.

Tarquin is in a VCL jersey yeah?
