Based in London but with an Italian soul, Imperial Works was a secret society of sorts which took its name from the turn-of-the-century piano factory that housed Rapha’s first offices. To commemorate the gruppo sportivo’s place in our history, we’ve recreated the cycling club’s luxurious black, gold and purple livery, including the iconic tricolour jersey. Made with RPM150 – now with recycled fibres for a lower impact – the jersey features embroidered details throughout, from the back pockets to the signature armband. The full-length Super Lampo zip ensures ventilation in warmer weather while the knitted rib trims at the collar, cuffs and hem add a final flourish.
