          Part of Westminster Menswear Archive

          Navy short sleeved cycling skinsuit provided for Team GB as part of the Rio Olympics in 2016. It is part of a range designed by Stella McCartney for adidas. The front body of the cycling skinsuit features a specifically designed coat of arms by the College of Arms, which provided the basis for the iconography across the entire Olympics and Paralympics range. Alongside the coat of arms, the garment featurs the red, blue and white colours of the Union Flag: 'The inspiration behind the design was this idea of contrasting British tradition with a modern attitude.' It has a front white invisible zip closure that runs down the centre of the coat of arms and the groin is padded and secured with a navy coverstitch. The main body is made of a navy shiny polyester/elastane mix, with the front yoke, back yoke and top panel of the sleeves made of a matte textured polyeste/elastane mix. The sleeves have a contrasting red trim and the neck has a bright blue textured trim. The legs are finished with a wide red trim designed with non slip backing to stay secure when worn. The suit is unlined and finished with overlocked seams.

          The Team GB logo is printed on the left hand chest and the inner left leg with the adidas logo printed in white on the right chest. It has a Union Jack flag on the left arm, and Great Britain printed in white down the left thigh and across the back of the suit.
