Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

£$€!!

What a wonderfully accessible brand they are.

that's not a lot more than you'd pay for other tailored jackets.

Well that's okay then. I expect they'll do a £150 emergency (tailored) patch repair kit for it to.

It's not tailored at all though is it? It comes in standard sizes FFS.

It looks really nice though and I don't see anyone else exploring this market.

um but why would anyone want to ride in a tailored jacket

Totally.. also you can climb Ventoux in a massively epic manner wearing this. Take that Manning and Manning!

I would if I had a shortish commute and wanted to look sharp for work. Why not?

uuhh...ohhh..nnoooo! I like that jacket but I dont want to..

according to the Rapha blurb:

'is made from a technical fabric that is 100% wool'

What's that then, wool?

Well that's okay then. I expect they'll do a £150 emergency (tailored) patch repair kit for it to.

You can't put a price on being able to go at 17mph (avg).

If you buy this you're an absolute bibble.

it has pink so ..no :-)

bibble being a good thing or a bad thing ?

correct, abuse of the word tailored? other than specific sizes are made by a tailor...5 sizes is not what I would call tailored.

obviously. then head home to Rapha cafe, where

just a dash of Rapha pink

will impress the boys.

On a scale of one to melt, it's a jeb-end.

good i was hoping you weren't being nice about rapha

woven in britain means the rest is glued together somewhere in india or china like
most of the non bespoke saville row stuff?

Baffled by the sizing - bikes that come in S, M, L, XL aren't custom, this ain't tailored. Is lovely though. If I had £400 to throw away with no worries I'd have one. But I don't.

Rapha iphone app coming this week:

Apparently it allows users to use social networking to 'hook up' for rides together.........sounds like that grinder app but only for people who wear stylish *and *functional bike clothing while they are 'doing their thing'

Fucking Rapha. Just sayin'.

^ Deserves some free garment to try out and perhaps change the outlook? Just saying...

My iPhone does it already. I call Ian and say one word: "beers".

I've got a free Rapha garment - fixed shorts, won on the rollers. They're okay. Not worth more than £50 though. >£100 is a fucking disgrace.

I wish TK Maxx stored the last season Rapha.
