Damn you Rapha and your sartorial temptations. I had promised myself "no more"!

Just when I thought I had my wardrobe sorted…

Another wardrobe turned over to Rapha!

You get caps on the collar when you own the company .

To judge by the promo video, this is the last spring riding season before darkness eternally engulfs the planet. We all take you seriously, Rapha. You can dial back on the Foreboding Timpani.

Chamois Time is Sunblock Time - skin cancer really really really sucks - a lot. Did I put to fine a point on this?

Fellow Raphaelites,

Rapha set in all caps = Pro Team garments.
Rapha set in cursive = Classic + Club garments.
Rapha set in gold cursive = Imperial Works garments.

But, what's in the new capsule collection?

Now how am i going to explain all my new Rapha wear to my wife!

p.s. is that a Rapha helmet?

Alex Tellez

Interesting tease.
Some thoughts:
1) Pic 1 looks like a rain cape (<-awesome!)
2) Pic 2 looks like a ProTeam gilet which was hinted at last during the SS12 launch

Note to RAPHA: PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF TOM HANKS re-release the pro team summer mitts. I lost one of the gloves and haven't been riding the same ever since!

Is there a hint of quirkiness in the vid? I am still looking for a jersey with skulls or rock n roll vibe.

Fingers crossed, as the wallet id open!

Aleksander Grynis

Looks good, bring it on!

Dmitry Bokov

Eric Utt

Great promotion as usual. I am looking forward to adding to my already growing Rapha collection. The sun block looks interesting too

Daniel James

Red version of the Brevet jersey?
Classic Ajax copy? Naah, couldn't be….but intriguing.
Not in the photos but Lightweight Bibs sound like a welcome addition…some lightweight caps as well please.

Mark Sanders

Just when I thought I was out, they dragged me right back in!!

James Sage

16th February 2013 02:32am

Julian Allen

16th February 2013 04:52am

Green socks? Awesome. That will go nicely with my grey/green track top, brown fixed shirt, black merino shirt…..

Mark Hemingway

16th February 2013 09:25am

I certainly look happier than this bunch when I'm out on my bike… and I have to buy my own Rapha kit!

Darren Buckby

16th February 2013 08:37pm

Was at the CC relaunch in Soho last night, certain new season items were on display….WOW…certainly some great new products and new colours for existing lines…

My favourite pieces….erm….Pro Team jersey/shorts in black with either pink and chartreusse detailing….

…and….the pieces from the Raeburn collaboration all looked amazing…it was said that next week at some stage we can expect to see ss13 on the site.

Marc Jones

16th February 2013 09:33pm

Darren - any new bibs aside from pro?

Spill the beans!

Troy Coleman

16th February 2013 10:02pm

I can't wait! Hurry up!

Gary Anderson

20th February 2013 09:14am

This teasing is merciless. Are you still on track for release this week?

Michael Hanley

20th February 2013 03:50pm

Any word on whether the new collection will still drop this week?

Darren Buckby

20th February 2013 10:49pm

Friday…so I have been told?

Peter Binns

21st February 2013 06:42am

Marc Jones

22nd February 2013 04:29pm

>Peter

They should do Rapha wooden coat hangers!

Darren Buckby

22nd February 2013 04:32pm

Hoped to see more new season kit than is currently showing?…..guess I need to hold out a little longer……

Eduardo Gabon

22nd February 2013 04:46pm

where are the new clothing lineup? Im tired of waiting..grrr

Joe Hall

22nd February 2013 04:54pm

Yes folks, we've had to delay the launch for a week. We look forward to showing you everything in its full glory, including a good selection of pieces available to purchase, next week!!!

Matthew DeMartino

22nd February 2013 05:40pm

Drowning in anticipation!

Phil Crow

22nd February 2013 06:40pm

Aw poo! another 7 days to wait!!

Eduardo Gabon

22nd February 2013 06:47pm

whatttt…

Miroslav Smejkal

22nd February 2013 09:28pm

Joe Hall: That is acceptable. Since there is a delay with standard delivery time, it is better to finish one thing and start second afterwards. But you claimed that delay will be 7 working days (At least it is written on shipping page) but I placed my order 8/2 and still no sign of sending.

I understand that you are in the middle of transformation process but a note on page about that fact in advance would be nice. I would happily pay for express delivery if I knew that. But now? Im waiting for my overshoes and needs to ride in 0°C without them, because I don't want to order them elsewhere and send yours back - that wouldn't be fair to you.

So maybe for next time you can advise us beforehand.

Eric Biesterveld

My wallet thanks you for the delay.

Interesting that almost all of the women in the photos wear helmets and almost none of the men. Seriously guys, get over it, put on a freakin' helmet. Brain damage isn't fashionable, it's life changing and permanent.

I have just looked at the video again, and it does look like Rapha have managed to turn spring summer into winter. That maybe an art form, but for me, after 4 months of black, I am done with it. I hope that Rapha will celebrate spring and summer with a real burst of colour and energy. The peloton in Qatar and Oman were resplendent with bright colours!

Will we get something to cheer about? Rapha pink without black?

Darren Buckby

27th February 2013 08:18pm

Amazing….well worth the wait…excited about the postman delivering my first hit of SS13 kit in the morning…second order already gone in….so many nice items….

Hoping the bidons will be released in black as per the 'lookbook'…..Pro Team Jersey is next on my list once in stock…..

Bring on the summer :)
