Folding bike maestros Brompton have released the first item in their new clothing line, the Oratory jacket, designed to be worn on the bike, in the boardroom and at the bar afterwards.

Off the bike, the jacket looks like a standard cord two-button jacket. However the Oratory is packed with innovative features, such as reflectives, storm collar, hi viz dropdown tail and an 'action back' to allow free movement on the bike.The whole garment is made from water repellant 'Epic' cotton with a wicking liner and features that all important cycling jacket feature - armpit ventilation, meaning that you'll stay dry from inside out, as well as outside in.

Here at British Cycling, we like stuff that makes the transition from bike to workplace as seamless as possible and this smart bit of stitching from Brompton certainly fits the bill, if your pockets are deep enough...
