Crit Fashion Faux Paux?
Would wearing a sleeveless be considered uncooth? It supposed to be hot as hell this weekend, and I have not seen others doing it, then again, I see few riders my size 
I know its a no-no. Just wanted to make sure.

I believe some regulations require sleeved (short sleeves) jerseys.

To get around this rule, you could always cut your shoulders off and somehow get your arms to stick to your body. Good luck steering though.

Just get some sweatproof costume makeup and paint your sleeves on.

Have you ever seen anyone racing in a T-shirt... he's the guy that planned to race in a sleeveless.
