Rapha Classic Seamless Jersey

Reinventing the most iconic RAPHA design.
Created to mark 20 years of Rapha, the Classic Seamless Knit is inspired by Rapha’s first and most iconic piece – the Classic Jersey, which launched the brand in 2004. The re-imagined merino design honors the RAPHA past, while also exploring the future of textile manufacturing and technology.
Production: 300 pieces (the same number of jerseys Rapha first produced in 2004)
Attention: no return/final sale on this limited production garment.

Developed and crafted at Rapha Works in London and made in Italy, the monochrome design has been created with Eva & Carola – experts in circular and seamless knitted garments. Each piece is crafted from the finest merino fibers in a high performance blend, where every strand is meticulously engineered into an infinite, continuous formation of patterns that fit seamlessly around the body. The time honored virtues of fine merino wool are enhanced with modern technology, resulting in a product that works like a second skin, moving and breathing with the flow of your ride.

Taking aesthetic and material inspiration from mid-20th century road cycling’s use of woolen jerseys is an enduring waymarker for Rapha. Wool garments have existed since the birth of cycling. From the first pink yarns of the Maglia Rosa to Rapha’s modern manifestations in merino – the wonder of wool is richly spun through the heart and soul of the sport. Merino is nature's own performance fibre, offering thermal regulation, exceptional moisture management, is naturally anti microbial and sits comfortably next to skin. 

“The Classic Seamless Knit jersey represents the very essence of Rapha — where history meets innovation. The blocking layout pays tribute to past versions of the jersey and by working with Eva and Carola we were able to push the boundaries of knit design to create something truly exceptional.” The geometric pattern and creation process of the Classic Seamless Knit was a central element of the RAPHA 20th anniversary Past Forward exhibition, inspiring the kinetic sculptural centrepiece created by artists Isabel + Helen.

Key Features:

Timeless design - weaving the historical narrative of SportWool™ into an innovative jersey. The technical approach to seamless knitting allows us to produce a jersey with integrated graphical design, armband and hem
Refined construction - using details from jerseys within Rapha’s design archive, the jersey construction and trim were chosen to reflect the quality and craft in the garment
Finer details - polished metal Riri zip and a woven label commemorating the concept
Machined in Italy - milled and knitted near Bologna using seamless knitting machines
Integrated pockets - Seamless rear pocket construction

To be worn in moderate to mild conditions (16-20°C / 61-69°F) with no base layer. Recommendation is wearing the jersey next to skin to fully utilize the performance of the merino.
Fit: Due to the nature of seamless construction, the garment will fit closer to the body than a regular Classic or Brevet jersey. Recommend choosing your usual Rapha size but if you prefer a more relaxed fit it is recommended to choose one size up. Due to the restrictions of the seamless knit machines - sizing is limited to Small, Medium and Large. Garment has a dropped hem at the back, built into the knit design
Fabric origin and construction: Italy
Materials: 62% merino wool/36% nylon/2% elastane
