The standard by which other jerseys are judged
This remains the standard by which others are judged. Unless you are looking for an uber-aero pro-race jersey you simply won’t go wrong with this. Well made, thoughtful design touches, classic understated styling: all are present and correct. This is not my first Classic jersey and I know from experience that all day comfort on long rides is assured as is it’s versatility. Great on warm days, great with arm warmers and a gilet on cooler days.

Are they as good as the original.
The Classic Classic. The “Classic “ jersey, definitely my favourite piece of Rapha kit. I’ve had four of these jerseys in the past and tbh they have all been a little different. The first one (over 10 years ago) had some great features. A proper pump pocket. Why all jerseys don’t have one I’ll never understand. The latest one, a beautiful dark blue version, has a pump loop but it doesn’t hold the pump as securely. Also for me they are never long enough in the body. Built for racing snakes I guess and they do give a bit as they get older. I love Rapha kit but I feel that they have gone a bit nuts with some of their designs and colours. That won’t stop me from buying the kit as and when I need it.

Great jersey with casual but not loose fit.
I'm 5-7 and bmi 25. Large fits without flapping but not tight. Warmer than expected. Use in 16c with thin base and 18c without, up to 24c. Resists smells better than synthetic, wash after 3-4 2-3 hr rides. Rear pockets a bit small.

Quality and comfort
Excellent quality Extremely comfortable. High quality merino wool blend. It is great that some of the fabric is from recycled materials.
Fit is as per the size guide. The large is truly 2.5 inches smaller than the XL in the chest area.
It is good for warm weather. It does wick in 90+ and humid weather but with the amount of sweat in those conditions it is not the best choice for those conditions…but not manny are.
I’m looking forward to riding in this jersey through the fall and early winter temps

This jersey will last a good long while
This is my second purchase of this particular jersey. The size still runs true. I was able to buy the same size jersey and it fit the same, possibly a little tighter since its new. I bought the first one in roughly 2013, and this one in 2023. There is one plastic cord cinch on the right side of the jersey and none on the left on the new ones, the old one had a cinch on both sides. The merino mix is still the same according to the tags on the garments. I weighed them both(yes, I'm an idiot). The new one weighs 214G and the old one is 232G. The old one is still in great shape after 10 years and I like the jersey so much I wanted one in another color. These jerseys just have a better fit and feel than most others I have--and you have the added benefit of not looking like a billboard.

Great material, nice features, awkward sizing/fit
The material feels great and works well in both hot and cold weather. The sizing and fit are awkward. I tried a XL and it was too tight in the sholders but just right in the waist. I moved up to an XXL and it was perfect in the shoulders and way way too big in the waist & back. What human body is this shirt designed to fit? A person with no shoulders? The back tail is just much too long. The zipper is good but not as good as other competing brands. Hand washing and air drying is also a major pain but the shirt can be worn for several days before it gets too smelly.

Solid performer
I've purchased two of the classic jerseys, one in the orange-cream color & wine/burgundy color. I did not pay full price for them, but waited for a sale. I would say they're very well-made, including the zipper details, trim, and fabric cut. I prefer the wine color. The zipper can be a bit hard to pull at the top, but that's a minor complaint.
I thought the hybrid wool fabric would be a little too hot, but it's pretty good for me (I run hot during exercise).It's perfect for temperatures ~72F at the highest (~22C), all the way down to 40-50F with arm warmers or a baselayer. So it's a bit hot, but it's got a wide range of temperatures & versatile.
Overall, I would say they're great options for winter/fall/spring. In Colorado, I've taken it out a handful of times in the summer too. It's got a great classic look (with classic color options, nothing super extreme).
In terms of sizing, I would say it runs a little large (had to order an XS, whereas in most clothes I'm a small). The Pro Jersey I'm a small for example.

Disappointed
I purchased a XL classic jersey and an XL core lightweight which are distinctly different sizes! My previous purchase was an XL core jersey which fits perfectly!!! The classic jersey is too big yet doesn't fit around the neck and the core lightweight is to small! Is this the case that not all the XL are the same size?

Great for touring and bikepacking
I know brevet jersey is their trademark for bikepacking but this jersey is just as good.. and cheaper if you get the bundle discount. For multi day tours and you plan of being a minimalist bringing a few jersey, this will be a great choice as the merino fabric does get rid of the smell. Jersey is very comfortable and the style is smart and simple. Though, make sure to avoid single tracks with thorny vines as it does destroy the fabric.

Poor quality, really disappointing. The classic jersey used to be great, now the material has become too thin and it’s elasticity is just too cheap. Really disappointing.

Fits bigger than previous versions
I love these jerseys. However, the newest ones seem larger than past versions. That may be a good or a bad thing depending on the wearer. Sadly, this one didn't fit me the way I was expecting. Length was still good, but quite roomy in the chest and sleeves. I am 6'4" and 170lbs and got a Large.

Truly a classic jersey
I have been disappointed with the current trend in road short sleeve jerseys having extremly long sleeves. That being said I don't want sleeves so short they roll up. The Rapha Classic Jersey hits the sleeve length mark perfectly for me. The cut of the jersey fits me well, the pockets are thoughtfully designed. My only complaint is probably the weight of the material. I'm based in Arkansas and while this jersey will get lots of use in the Fall and Spring I imagine it will be put away for most of the summer.

Cheap feel, strange fit
Struck out on this one. Really did not like the feel of the fabric. I wear a lot of merino, but this felt like a low quality, thick polyester. Fit was strange: tight in the arms and across the shoulders, loose in the waist, length too short.

Fits much larger so be careful when ordering
I own several Rapha jerseys, and this is my first regular classic. This jersey is a significant amount larger (particularly in width in the chest and torso area) than the Brevet and strangely, it's much larger than the lightweight classic jersey which I bought last year. That jersey fit me perfectly. So I did not expect this one to be so much larger, and so unfortunately for me I didn't pay much attention to the fit until I got out on the road. I just throw on my kit and go ride. So then I noticed it dragging quite a bit. The sleeves are a lot looser, too. I hate trying to get the fit right on all my cycling gear, which is partly why I'm loyal to Rapha--so that I can make less decisions and just trust the brand.
I purchased a large, and wear large in all other Rapha jerseys (and nearly every other brand out there). It's a pity, too, because it's a great looking jersey. Deep, but not too dark green color, and the white accents are very nicely done. Very comfortable. Can't afford to order a medium, but if you're used to wearing large, you will want to size down.

Classic Jersey
I already had a Core Jersey and shorts which I purchased last year. For entry level items the quality of the product; performance and how they look after 20 washes spurred me on to buy more Rapha clothing. I’ve not had opportunity to ride with the classic Jersey yet however the fit, cut, fabric and design are on par with the Core. I ordered a large initially as my Core jersey is a large but the more relaxed cut is the Classic meant a medium was a better fit for me. Can’t wait to ride in it.

"Refined" Fit?
Elasticated rear hem with silicone coating for stability and cord lock adjusters for refined fit: This feature makes the jersey both look and feel a bit sloppy if you tighten it up for that "refined fit."

The best jersey for Spring and Fall weather
The fabric, cut, and design features make this the best imaginable jersey for cooler days -- any day on which you might use (or consider using) arm warmers or a light base layer, roughly temps from 55-75 fahrenheit. Compared to my Classic jerseys from a few years ago, the sizing on this is maybe a half-size smaller, so keep that in mind when ordering. Though the Classic jersey is not race fit, it is relatively slim-fitting on me (and I'm quite slim), so it's great for fast training rides.

Premium material, sizing down is recommended
Great material and comfortable. You can feel that it is premium. It is a bit thicker and more suitable for cooler weather ride. It starts to feel abit warm when the temperature is above 32°C as it has longer neck if you zip up. Be careful on the sizing as it is low compression. I’m 166cm and 60kg. Usually I buy S size and it fits well, but this collection is more loose fit than I expected especially around the waist area (even with the adjuster). I suggest you to size down.
