i found this 1940s picture of fausto coppi (fausto on the left, his bro serge on the right) on the net recently and i'm a little bit obsessed with it. how fucking dapper are these chaps?!! plus fours and argyle jumpers FOR THE GODDAMN WIN!!!!
and this pic is so ace... it's from a north cotswalds cycle club run from 1937. pure style. check out fiddy in his youth, second from the left, working that tie!
these gents just know how to dress. i figure we never get to wear a tie for work, and i'm holding out for a big comeback for this tie-and-plus-fours-on-the-weekend look. it's the hipster look for 2009, trust me on this one.
seriously, i'm all about old school cycling clothes. fuck the rapha softshell, i've just ordered my 1935 worthy suedette zip jacket...
