Rapha Men’s Cotton T-Shirt Review: Stylish, Comfortable, but a Bit Pricey

The overall length is also too much, making the whole fit feel off. From the same Rapha Cotton Line, I own two t-shirts in size S, and they fit as they should—unlike this hoodie. The inconsistency is frustrating, especially for a brand that usually nails its fit across different product ranges. The value is terrible. Paying €110 for this hoodie is out of the question, but even at ...
