The Horton Collection
The Retro Image Apparel Co. proudly presents The Horton Collection Line. These jerseys are inspired by hand-selected vintage posters from the greatest collection of vintage cycling memorabilia in the world. Collector Brett Horton is regarded as the one of the foremost authorities on cycling posters and bicycle race history.

	Women's Phebus In 1896, Henri Grey created one of the most ethereal bicycle advertisement posters of the era. Set on a celestial stage beneath dazzling, sharp-edged silver sun rays, a divine cherub is seen in dramatic descent, pursuing a Phebus bicycle wheel. Grey achieves suspenseful tension illustrating the wheel just out of reach. Our design elucidation is our first women's jersey derived from The Horton Collection. Price: $74.90 Size:

	Men's Cataluna In 1943, while the world was at war, bicycle racing persisted in Spain. That year the 23rd Vuelta Catalonia, one of Spain's oldest races, was won by Spaniard Julian Berrendero. The official poster, illustrated by Pallare, richly captures the spirit of the race and denotes Pirelli's 3rd sponsorship of the event. Today, the prestige of the Vuelta Catalonia continues as it is a part of the UCI Pro Tour program, a designation confined exclusively to cycling's most important international races.

	Black Cat Fireworks What unspeakable things did you blow up with Black Cat Fireworks? Black Cat Fireworks brand was introduced in the US in the 1940's by Li & Fung, one of the largest and most respected Trading Companies in China, and is now the oldest and most highly recognized fireworks brand worldwide. In China, "black cats" are a symbol of "luck and good fortune." Our jersey design features the early graphic theme -- the red star flash, bursting firecrackers and text with the most contemporary and universally iconic theme.

	Popeye Popeye made his first public appearance on January 17, 1929 in Elzie Segar's then 10-year-old comic strip, "Thimble Theatre," which originally revolved around Olive Oyl's family. Popeye soon became the star, upstaging the original cast of characters. It was during this period that Popeye's spinach obsession became an indispensable plot device for his later adventures.

	Cycles Brillant A.M. Cassandre designed this poster for Cycles Brillant in 1923, fusing together the styles of Cubism and Surrealism. His designs are memorable for their simple and clever graphic solutions, constantly taunting the detailed style of Art Nouveau. Cassandre stated, "A poster is to be viewed on the street." Merely wearing this art as a jersey is an affirmation and extension of the artist's original intent. Price: $79.90 Size: Jerseys run small — order one size up

	"Glory to Soviet Fliers!" This Soviet propaganda poster, circa 1958, served as a vehicle to pay homage to the Motherland's fearless air pilots. The art illustrates Soviet air superiority and employs the Soviet Air force flag which was officially approved on August 29, 1924 by the Communist Party. It was known as Aerodrome flag of aviation detachments and formations. Its blue field and 14-ray rising sun, similar to Japan's, employs the red star and yellow hammer and sickle. The back of our jersey goes one step beyond, illustrating the fliers walking away toward glory! Price: $79.90 Size: Jerseys run small — order one size up

	Chat Noir Le Chat Noir was a famous 19th century cabaret in the notoriously bohemian Montmartre district of Paris. It was opened 18 November, 1881 at 84 Boulevard Rouchechouart by the artist Rodolph-Alexandre Salis, and closed in 1897 (much to the disappointment of Picasso and others). It was here that the Salon des Arts Incoh�rents (Salon of Incoherent Arts), and the "shadow plays" got their start. The alluring and iconic poster was composed by Salis in 1896.

	Betty Boop Betty Boop first appeared in the 6th Talkartoon starring Bimbo, entitled "Dizzy Dishes" (1930). Grim Natwick was the first animator to draw Betty, who had not yet been officially named. He took inspiration for Betty's spit curls from a song sheet of Helen Kane, "Boop Oop a Doop Girl." Her first starring role was in "Betty Coed" (1931), which marked the first time the name Betty was connected with the character. In 1934, Betty began appearing in comic strips drawn by Bud Counihan (though they were signed with Max Fleischer's name). Price: $74.90 Size: Jerseys run small — order one size up Style:
