We have received various new items from the Rapha 2012 Autumn/Winter collection,
so let me introduce a few highlights among them.
Rapha
Lombardia Jersey ¥24,000
A model that pays homage to the Giro di Lombardia, known as the "Race of the Falling Leaves."
It features a novel design that shatters the conventional concept of cycling jerseys.
With its button-down shoulder design reminiscent of a marine sweater and a color palette that perfectly matches the coming season, it's quite stylish.
It features a button-down style not only on the shoulders but also on the cuffs.
The back features embroidery depicting the Madonna del Ghisallo church, synonymous with the Giro di Lombardia, and Lake Como.
My first impression was, "Wow, they’ve come out with something amazing again," but as I looked at it more, I became increasingly drawn to it. Ultimately, what set my desire to own it on fire was this image on the Rapha website.
This one totally got me.
However, for someone like me who makes frequent trips to the restroom regardless of my stomach's condition, this style is a bit of a dilemma.
By the way, the Giro di Lombardia will be broadcast today, September 29th, from 21:30 on J SPORTS 2.
Rapha
Long Sleeve Brevet Jersey ¥30,000
Previously released as a short-sleeve version, the Brevet Jersey is now available in a long-sleeve version for this season.
Made for long-distance Brevet races, this jersey features a chest pocket for storing Brevet cards, three back pockets, plus an additional large pocket that makes it easy to stash a jacket. It also comes with a highly visible vest as shown in the image above.
The navy body with white and pink stripes looks incredibly cool, and these two stripes were chosen with visibility in mind.
The white stripe, which also serves as an armband, is made of reflective material,
and it is punched with holes to ensure proper breathability.
I borrowed this image from the Rapha site as well.
We have also received items from the Cross series and the City Ride line, so please come by and visit us!
