Retro Cycling Shorts and Tights

Every great vintage kit deserves the right foundation, and our collection of retro cycling shorts and tights delivers exactly that. Crafted with comfort and classic aesthetics in mind, these pieces draw on decades of cycling heritage — from the simple black chamois shorts of the post-war peloton to the bold, sponsor-laden designs of the 1980s and 90s. Whether you're completing a period-accurate team look or simply want reliable, stylish bottoms for your next ride, these shorts and tights are designed to perform as good as they look. Riders love them for their authentic vintage feel paired with modern fabrics and padding technology.

Our range includes classic bib shorts, standard waist shorts, and full-length tights that echo the styles worn during cycling's golden eras. You'll find timeless solid black designs as well as team-inspired colourways that pair perfectly with jerseys from squads like Molteni and Peugeot. The detailing matters — from retro logo placements and heritage stripe patterns to comfortable chamois pads built for long days in the saddle. Whether you're channelling the spirit of a 1970s domestique grinding through the cobbles or a 1990s Grand Tour contender, there's a short or tight here to match.

Pair your new shorts or tights with a matching jersey from our full cycling kits and sets for a head-to-toe vintage look, or mix and match with individual jerseys to create your own signature style. Don't forget to browse our cycling extras for socks, vests, and other finishing touches that pull the whole ensemble together. However you ride, these retro shorts and tights bring the perfect blend of nostalgia and modern comfort to every kilometre.
