MFS + GIRO D’ITALIA 2013So here’s the thing with sports photography for me - pro cycling, in particular. There’s the “default” or “stock” images that you expect to see throughout bike races, and then there’s Manual for Speed. MFS continues to be successful with showing the viewers and fans the parts and people of the race that we don’t necessarily expect, yet can learn to appreciate, and I love them for that.

I saw James briefly a few weeks back wearing this coat, and had no idea who/what created such a piece. Luckily, he explains it to us in detail and wears it well here. jamesnord: Rapha teamed up with Raeburn to create a new city riding jacket  made from repurposed milatary parachutes which have been deconstructed and reconstructed  integrating the original seams. I have been living in this jacket on and off the bike for weeks and can’t recommend it enough. It’s Weird enough to make people look twice, but technical enough to ensure it does it’s intended job. They will go on sale on Friday and they won’t last long. There are only 300 of each color and less than 1,000 worldwide. photos from Ben Ingham
