Yeah but remember Reg wants to wear his over his duffle coat

Sigh

My vomit brown long sleeved is a large when I would normally get a medium - it's a good fit being loose enough to stop my rib cage from being visible but not flappy. I got a medium in the orange design and it's definitely a little snug - OK but also a bit on the short side.

I'm just working out the costs of a long sleeve version. If it appears reasonable, then I'll add it as an option.

Much appreciated

Mrs Polisheman has done her usual shaking of her head at the word "unisex", which means doesn't fit anyone with child bearing hips...

Tell her I apologise but woman's specific tend to work out very expensive - they're a different jersey to begin with and a small run inflates the cost somewhat.

If there are to be long sleeves - Will they be the MTB style like last time?

No, just a LS version of this.

No need to apologise. I just think that men would look great in "unisex" shirts that were shaped for women but manufacturers are yet to realise it.

Plenty have the moobs for it if not quite the hips

A long sleeve option now added. They are more expensive but sadly, that's just the nature of the beast.

Just to confirm that the sizing is the same as the last (brown) tops? Iirc it's the same manufacturer. Thanks.

Yes and yes.

Can anyone remind when the bb200 rpute is released pls... Is it 2 weeks or a week before the ride? Not that I'm anxious about it at all. Honest

A week prior Shaf.

If you were usually a medium in normal cycling kit (Endura/altura/galibier etc. - not weird Italian stuff), would it be fair to say a medium in these would be comparable? Fwiw I'd usually be a small in outdoor gear - Rab/mountain equipment etc..

Thanks Stu...

I'm going with XL and I'm normally M.... the M that I had last time was skin-tight with nowt underneath....

I bought large last time for the roady style tops (which I only wear on my gravel bike) and XL for the baggy MTB style top. These were spot on for me (ie. fairly tight for the roady look on the gravel bike and a bit loose but not super baggy on the MTB top). I'm 6 feet tall, weigh 13.5 stones and have a 42" chest/34" waist for reference. Obviously there's no MTB jersey option this time just the roady type.

Sounds like a medium should be fine then, without a duffle coat underneath of cause

Thanks for your input, appreciated

am i right in assuming the measurements of the jersey it is just laid out flat and there will be a bit of stretch in them ?

Having measured a selection of jerseys I am pretty sure my size is Small [ though I may even squeeze into a XS - which would be more time trial fit than roadie fit so not risking that [ and worried a M will be a bit baggy ]
175 cm and 63 kg 30 " waist if that helps anyone know

I believe so John. Yes, a certain amount of stretch similar to other cycle jerseys.

Curiously those are almost exactly Reg's measurements too. But still going for XL without dufflecoat . Vaguely remember same as Stu as well. Are you having XS or XXXL, Stu?
