Winter wear 2013

 

From Eurobike 2012 comes a glimpse of what us Raphaphiles will be wearing in Os next winter:

For a company that’s tailored its image in gritty black and white with just a splash of pink, 2013 looks a whole lot more colorful for Rapha.

The familiar left-arm bands remain, but for the coming season Rapha has added a number of high-visibility colors, a techy jacket and some undershirts.

Rapha also continues its tradition of special edition jerseys with a story around them. This fall, Rapha has the Lombardia Jersey, which celebrates the GIro di Lombardia around Lake Como in the fall. In addition to Rapha’s trademark styling of the little story stitched into a pocket, the Sportwool Lombardia has a few details that its designers hope will make it an off-the-bike piece too. The neck buttons open to the side, and the cuffs button open also. The red-and-orange motif is appropriate enough for a jersey saluting the "race of the falling leaves."
