Like water bottles on the handlebars and sewups wrapped around your shoulders, I noticed several riders in the movie at the link below wearing the old wool Jerseys with chest pockets.

I remember seeing wool Fuji jerseys for sale in the in the 70s with front chest pockets, but they were pretty expensive. I never saw any racers wearing them in the 70s.

It seemed to me that it was pretty much implied at that time, that chest pocket jerseys were not cool in the racer fashion wardrobe?

A really fun film, well shot. It starts out in French, but there is very little narration so is appropriate for all languages. The soundtrack is awesome!
