Vintage cycling jerseys - a Tour de France special

Tuesday, 16 July 2013

I promised many months ago to show you some of my vintage cycling jersey collection. The Tour de France provides the excuse. 

I love their colour and vibrancy; many have beautifully-embroidered lettering. Made of wool, or knitted acrylic, they're uncomfortable to wear in hot weather and are reminders of the rough, tough days of professional cycling.

    There's a gent in his sixties round my neighbourhood, who cycles almost everywhere, and he's usually sporting a hat like that worn by Eddy Merckx.
