Retro cool for autumn rides

vintage cycling top

Wearing extra layers at this time of year need not be an excuse to compromise on style. This retro Molteni mid-weight jacket harks back to a time when pro riders were given sweaters/track suit tops to wear when off the bike. Back in the day there were no sublimation (printing on fabric) techniques and all the sponsor logos had to be embroidered or in the case of felt lettering, stuck on. The lettering applied to this garment is a combination of embroidery and appliqué.

We have one of these stylish jackets to give away. It’s labelled medium, but from the look of it, it’s on the large side. If you’d like to enter our draw, simply leave us a comment below.

    If this jacket was good enough for Big “Ted” Merckx – then it’s good enough for me.
