Short Sleeve Kits
Our short sleeve retro cycling kits pair a classic jersey with matching shorts for a complete look that's ready to ride straight out of the box. There's something deeply satisfying about rolling out in a perfectly coordinated ensemble that pays tribute to the golden eras of professional cycling. Riders love the convenience and style of a matched set — no guesswork, no mismatched colours, just pure vintage authenticity from collar to chamois. Whether you're channelling the spirit of a Grand Tour champion or simply want to look sharp on your weekend gruppo, these kits deliver.
Each kit draws design inspiration from the legendary teams, races, and riders that shaped the sport we love today. From the bold sponsor logos and vivid colour palettes of the 1970s and 1980s to the cleaner aesthetics of more modern retro designs, every set captures the visual DNA of a specific moment in cycling history. The jerseys feature full or half-zip fronts with classic cut styling, while the shorts come equipped with comfortable chamois padding for long days in the saddle. Paired together, they offer an unmistakable look that turns heads at every café stop and chain gang.
