    We have carefully refreshed the design of the La Vie Claire long sleeve jersey just in time for our busiest time of year!  The biggest change from the previous design is the introduction of the fully covered zip which maintains Mondrian's artwork on the front of the jersey. Other modern touches include the addition of a silicone gripper at the waist as well as a 4th zipped pocket. 

    Features:



    The La Vie Claire team colours were based on the iconic artwork of Piet Mondrian, giving them a unique appearance in the peloton during the 80s.

    Made in Italy, Santini have lovingly reproduced the 1985 version of this iconic jersey in modern fabrics (suitable for Spring/Autumn) for all to enjoy.

    In a recent article on cyclingnews.com, Pietro Santini confessed that the La Vie Claire jersey was his all time favourite jersey design; 'That jersey was groundbreaking in terms of design and construction. Back then every jersey was plain with just a bit of embroidery on the sleeves and neck. The Mondrian design totally changed that so that each jersey was like a work of art. It totally transformed the way in which we made jerseys.'

    Jersey arrived very promptly, beautiful design and nicely made. In terms of fit, I bought the 3xl (!) size to fit my swimmers build .... I would say that it’s a racing fit rather than loose, and arms strangely slightly baggy even though it’s snug across the chest and waist. Sizing overall was spot on as described.
