Simon Mottram, founder and owner of Rapha Who’d have guessed that kit could be so spiritually significant? In most sports, you simply put up with whatever your club/affiliation/nationality dictates because, after all, shorts are shorts and shirts are shirts. But in the narcissistic world of cycling, the whole issue of how to dress becomes fraught with complexity. Indeed, the casual act of pulling on a pair of socks can determine a philosophical Weltanschauung which extends far beyond the natural horizons of a pair of padded pants. og hoodie jadakissAnd, just as Great Britain is currently leading the way in every form of cycling, so we are also setting the standard for self-important, wonderfully over-tailored kit: the kind of kit that suggests that the wearer is equally at home poring over a rare manuscript of forgotten Persian poetry as he is gliding up a sun-parched Mediterranean mountain pass. buy colonize hoodies

Welcome to the world of Rapha. Rapha-clad cyclists make their ascent I was at a bike race this time last year in Ipswich. The event was won by a domestic team sponsored by Rapha. All five of their riders took to the podium dressed entirely in the black garb of their sponsors. They looked astonishing, oozing existential class. As I gazed up at the podium, a lady from Ipswich council nudged me and whispered: “Look at that kit. Isn’t it just something else?” I agreed with her. It was indeed something else. Then she whispered again, “Italian style, you see. They just do it right.” I didn’t have the heart to disabuse her of her mistaken belief that Rapha was an Italian heritage brand. Because the fact is that they are scarcely 10 years old, and were dreamt up by an extremely clever designer from Rotherham. Simon Mottram, the man behind the brand, once gave me a guided tour around his airy, espresso-steamed premises, and told me how it all began. Growing up loving cycling, but hating the unaspirational, nerdish, cul-de-sac that was the British cycling scene, he yearned for the twinkle and sparkle and grandeur of the Côte d’Azur.

For Mottram, cycling is classy, sophisticated, epic, stylish, foreign; everything that was not available back home. So, after making his name in design, he acquired the rights to use the logo of a defunct French cycling team from the late Fifties. He liked the rolling sound on the two syllables, thrilling to the aspirated plosive of the “ph” at the heart of the word “Rapha”. And then he made some beautiful, minimalist kit to go with the name, and a whole cultural movement was born. Metrosexual London lapped it up: advertising executives, bankers, lawyers, media types, doctors, architects. They all loved it. Soon they were everywhere: the “Raphia”; a Masonic affiliation of cycling-obsessed notables, meeting for secret rides in Regent’s Park, or booking chalets in the Alps for epic weekends of networking and climbing. The Middle Aged Man In Merino (MAMIM) was a cut above the more well-known Middle Aged Man in Lycra (MAMIL). It is not cheap. Their yak-leather shoes (seriously) retail at £300 the pair.

Their simplest merino base layer (T-shirt to you and me) starts at an entry-level £50. But, mostly, the stuff is worth it, especially those base layers. The Rapha Merino base layer, in black and blue I have two which I have owned for years, and wear on almost every ride. The reason being that 1) they are very, very, comfortable. And 2) because they are undergarments, I don’t have to show the logo. To publicly sport the Rapha logo is to make a very definitive statement. It is an act that comes with baggage. And now this luxury name has done a deal with Sky. This is their first venture into the mass market, where chains like Evans are allowed to sell their stuff. It represents a risk for a brand which trades on its exclusive appeal. “It’s a classic dilemma,” according to Mottram, a man who is as protective of his image as he is aware that it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. The Marmite model might be more accurate. The brand provokes extraordinary emotional responses in its followers and its detractors, of whom there are many.
