Stitches in Time: these jerseys have seen things

It is rather amazing how several stylized images of cycling jerseys can give one the feeling of sitting inside one of Rapha’s London-area clubhouses, drinking coffee and watching bike racing. Yet that is exactly the effect with Stitches in Time: a just-launched exhibit celebrating the reopening and doubling of its footprint of Rapha’s Soho hang out.

Some pay homage to cycling royalty. Some honour the grit of riding in cities and cols. No garment encapsulates the history of an entire sport however quite like it, and this first exhibit meditates on that rather unique fact. A curated exploration of the archive Londoners will love.
