    Paul Smith is a celebrated fashion designer and one time aspiring cyclist before fashion took hold... he still cycles today and enjoys a symbiotic relationship with the Rapha brand and his - a match made in heaven in my book

    Why do we not name PS? Can't believe my note got auto edited

    If their stuff is made with such top quality fabrics why can't you just chuck it in a washing machine?

    Most of their stuff you can, you prannet. 30 degree wool wash, stick em in a pillow case or mesh bag to stop them getting sucked into the drum and snagged. You'll get a better clean by handwashing but there is no reason not to machine wash most of their gear.

    I've been doing that with their base layers, jerseys and socks for the last two years without a problem. It's not like there's a dearth of other kit on the market that has to be handwashed according to the label.

    It's definitely used in Hampshire, as anyone who has heard the Troggs Tapes will testify.
