Description
A classically styled jersey for cooler conditions
Fusing the classic jersey designs of the early 20th century with modern performance technology, the Classic Long Sleeve Tricolour Jersey features three stitched panels of material to symbolise the ‘Tricolore’ flag. Harking back to a time before printed logos and neon colours, the Classic Long Sleeve Tricolour Jersey takes style inspiration from the earliest cycling jerseys.
Made using a comfortable and breathable merino wool blend, and traditional twin needle stitching - a technique used to create a precise hem in stretch fabric - the Classic Long Sleeve Tricolour Jersey is ideal for rides in cool weather. A Rapha logo is embroidered onto the chest, and an embroidered ‘Tricolore’ logo features on the back pocket. Cuffs and hem use a traditional rib knit which, coupled with a lock-down front zip keep the jersey secure while riding.

Excellent autumn jersey
I bought this for an October cycling holiday in Northumberland and it was ideal, looks stylish and is also very practical. Wore it with the Pro Team (summer) base layer in temperatures of 10 C and it was plenty warm enough, it would work in conditions a good few degrees colder with a merino base. I wanted more visibility in low light so used it with the brevet gilet, which folds up compactly enough to go in one of the jersey's pockets when not needed. The navy jersey and the navy/ high vis pink gilet are a good colour pairing. I am 6 ft 1 in tall, 160 pounds, 38 inch chest and the medium size in both jersey and gilet were a good comfortable fit.

Great cooler weather jersey
I tend to wear short sleeve jerseys with arm warmers when the temperature dips. But this jersey, with its gradations of color, looked so awesome I decided to give it a try. It’s got a true Rapha classic fit, which suits me perfectly. (I can’t do pro team.) I also really like the ample sleeve length, since the last thing you want is cold wind getting in under sleeves that don’t overlap your gloves. I’m a huge fan of merino, since it’s really comfortable, breathable, and warm when you need it to be warm. I’ve been wearing the jersey over a Rapha long sleeve merino base layer and under a Rapha softshell gilet. (Does Rapha even make that any more?)

My best jersey (long sleeve)
It is a perfect tan for autumn, or early spring.
Depending on the underwear is good at temperatures from 10 to 0 degrees (I did not ride in this sweatshirt at negative temperatures).
Advantages:
- The fabric keeps the heat warm and at the same time "breathes" (the sleeves of the welts works great!).
- T-shirt behaves well in light rainfall (drizzle).
I tested various jerseys, but this one gives definitely the best preformance in cool weather.

Very smart, everso slightly too short at front IMO
Very smart-looking/classy long-sleeve top. Have worn with skimpy base layer and lightweight jacket in 3-5 degrees and was perfect. Pockets easy to reach and perfect stretch and depth. Nice long sleeves, perfect cuff elasticity and width. The only thing I would change is to make the front just a wee bit longer. Not for any technical reason other than what I am used to. It's my first Rapha jersey so it may be the typical cut, which I am sure I can get used to.

"Racer fit" wool jersey
I am a long distance rider who has learned to prefer racer fit gear over the looser gear favored by my peers. This generally means I have to buy synthetics as wool jerseys tend to be generous around the middle and arms (i.e., for retired guys with beer bellies).
This jersey is fitted for a thin cyclist, and does not flap in the wind. I am 5'8", 150 lbs, with no gut, but also without any upper body muscle whatsoever (built like a cyclist, for better or worse.) I'm what you would call scrawny and I wear an extra small jersey. At this size, the Classic Long Sleeve Tricolour Jersey is barely long enough to cover the top of my shorts when standing but perfect when on the bike (IMO, the way a jersey should fit.)
Highly recommended

Odd fit due to seams
I'm a huge fan of Rapha jerseys and own many of them in both short and long sleeve varieties. My classic long sleeve jersey is my go-to garment from November through March. While this tri-color jersey caught my eye, I was not pleased with the fit and returned it. Since it is constructed of multiple pieces of fabric, the seams themselves cause an odd look and feel while worn. The arm seams, for instance, catch me right at the elbows and would certainly be noticeable while riding. While I am not heavy, the seams also cause my flesh to bunch up and create unflattering "rolls."

Stylish comfortable and practical!
This jersey is fantasic. High quality material which fits perfectly (normal cut, not like the pro team stuff). Very stylish and comfortable for long rides! What else could you ask for? Rapha well done!

Hi there! I used to have the classic short sleeve jersey in a (m) but I always found it a bit on the looser side - I think fit between the s-m so I'm curious if I should go with the (s) vs the (m) the discription says that the cut has also been improved?
Hi, the fit of this jersey (which is based on the Classic Jersey II) has a slightly closer fit than the older jersey which you owned. We recommend you try a medium again as this is likely to fit you better now. As always we do have a free 90 day returns policy if needed.

Hi, is this inclined to shrink or stretch over time?
Hi, this jersey will holds its size over time. Please always wash the jersey at 30 degrees celsius using non-bio detergent to ensure this happens.

Hi, what's the min / max temp range for wearing this? (sans gilet!) Many thanks S
Hi, it is hard to advise an exact temperature range as this is always dependent on your own temperature regulation and exertion level. However, this jersey can be used in a minimum temperature of 4/ 5 degrees celsius and up to 15/ 16 degrees celsius depending on your choice of base layer.

Is this the same fabric as the Long Sleeve Classic Jersey?

What is the fit of this jersey? Is it tending toward super skinny or more generous all-day comfort?
Hi, this jersey has a fit in line with our Classics range. It is designed for all-day comfort but would work just as well for short rides. The cut is not as close as our Pro Team range.
