Each set pairs a beautifully designed short sleeve jersey with matching shorts, giving you a cohesive look that captures the golden eras of professional cycling. From classic team liveries to era-defining colour palettes, these kits are crafted for riders who appreciate cycling history as much as they love time in the saddle. They're the easiest way to ride out looking sharp without the guesswork of mixing and matching separates.
Our short sleeve kits draw inspiration from the most celebrated teams, riders, and races in cycling's rich past — think the bold graphics of the 1980s, the clean elegance of mid-century Italian squads, and the vibrant sponsor logos that defined the peloton across decades. Whether you're channelling the spirit of Eddy Merckx in Molteni orange or reliving the neon-tinged drama of the late '80s with a La Vie Claire design, every kit tells a story. The jerseys feature full-zip construction and breathable fabrics, while the shorts are built for comfort on long summer rides with quality chamois padding and a secure fit.
