Jersey sizing and stuff

[1234]

Gore have really long arms!

Try stolen goat helpful CS, get advice on sizing

Sigma have a sale on too, free delivery and returns

Another one for Stolen goat, fits me really well. I know this doesnt help :-)

They had a sale recently and often have reductions

Ahh okay, back in the race then!

They're really great jerseys, and if you sign up you get an additional 15% off. Great fit/finish and the lining on that one could remove the need for a baselayer for anything above about 5 degrees

Nice but not in red or black, luckily they do another one but i don't think I'll get the 15% on a sale item. I'll check, if so, might be a contender.

I think the Endura jacket is a bit lightweight, it's definitely a winter jersey I'm after. Sigma stuff does look nice but I was looking at the 50 to 60 quid mark, hence sale stuff, which also rules out the very lovely Shutt stuff and Stolen Goat and Rivelo.

This is the one I'm still deliberating on

Bit of a stretch on the budget but if I can pick it up in store then that's OK.

You do know they only go up to XXL?

I've managed to get the discount on sale items before now

I lobbed it in the basket and it said sale items won't accept the discount code. I might try anyhow.

Are you hoping he'll share it with you hence the warning

 

[Crackle]

Nah, I definitely can't get the discount on Morvello sale items, shame.

Currently thinking of going for the Rapha Core and the Gore and returning one

Have you looked at DHB Blok?
Indeed someone was selling some in Classifieds

Rapha for £60 sounds like their budget range

Hey listen, 7 years ago all my stuff wore out and I made the mistake of 'temporarily' buying some Aldi gear. The damn stuff refuses to wear out so I'm making the effort to finally turf it out, besides, is there such a thing as cheap Rapha.

The Large Gore Thermo didn't fit, the medium probably would but I didn't like it enough to bother ordering another one and making the effort to get to a shop again. Plus, it was, as it's name implied, quite warm.

I may give up now. The whole online ordering thing pees me off but no one keeps much stock in shops anymore, all our own fault, I suspect

Try wiggle DHB? Just buy two sizes, return one via collect+

Torm T8? Great quality, understated design, cheaper than Rapha...

I really like them and I'd spotted them before. I guess I wasn't too sure about Merino wool. I had an old wool jersey some time ago and I didn't really like it, especially when wet. I think I decided I'd need to see one in the flesh and the whole online ordering thing would again be an arse but I was tempted. Forgot to mention them in the thread opener.
