Southern California - Jerseys Ordering

Hey guys,

I've already started getting PMs about the jerseys, so let's get the ball rolling. I think just ordering #2 this time around and then if there is demand later, ordering #3 and #4 later on should be fair. That way, the definitive one that won (#2) gets ordered first, and for those who REALLY want #3 or #4, it can happen later. Fair?

I think we should get a free jersey for Joe and James, and this should be amortized to the rest of us. So, I see the break down as:

$45 - Jersey cost
$2 - shipping from company (per jersey)
$5 - to cover cost of jersey for Joe and James, per order (depends on # of orders...may be a little higher, may be a little lower) <-- If you can't afford this, let me know...
OPTIONAL $5 - if you need it shipped to your door. $5 for first jersey, $2 for each jersey after that. This is just an approximation...I will let you know if the cost is a bit less and reimburse you.
OPTIONAL $2.50 - if you are going to be paying through paypal

Ideally, we could all meet up for a couple of group rides and the jerseys can be distributed that way. If you can never make a group ride, you should opt for the shipping. If you will be paying through paypal, add the $2.50 for the fees. You can also send check or money order to me.

So, if you are SURE you want a #2 jersey, email me at worker4youth@hotmail.com with the following info.

- Count and size of jersey (http://www.customcyclewear.com/sizechart.htm for sizing)
- Full Zipper, Half Zipper, 3/4 Zipper?
- Club, womens, or race cut?

Email me, and we'll figure out payment info.

EDIT ON 9-13-2006:
Hey guys, I'm gonna send in a tentative order this weekend. I am also going to Australia this Saturday for 2 weeks, so if you haven't confirmed that you want a jersey and told me you have sent a check or sent paypal payment, you will be excluded from this order. This friday is the final deadline for jersey #2! You have to tell me you want a jersey and have sent in a check/paypal by friday! NO EXCEPTIONS!

I will be out of town for 2 weeks, but I will have internet access while I am away. So I will be able to move things along at champ sys as if I were at home.

EDIT ON 9-15-2006:
Hi everyone,

Just a reminder, please let me know by tonight whether you're going to follow through with your order. I will be sending in the deposit tonight! If you want a jersey, just send me an email that says "I still want it...I will send the check or paypal soon."

Those of you that already did, thanks! I received almost everyone's payment that has told me (so far) that they sent it.

I will send you an email next week or the following confirming your order, and mailing address (if you wanted it shipped), before I finalize the order.

The next process will be the final approval of the Jersey design from the proof that Champ Sys sends us. I will forward this to James (Chimivee), and we will finalize it and send it to everyone for reviewing.

Hopefully we can have our jerseys by late October or early November!

Thanks for taking the initiative on this, worker4youth. Sending you a pm!

Please no PMs!

You don't read very well, do you? :p

Looks like I'm getting a jersey..:)

Ah geez. Of course I'm smack in the middle of sizes. :rolleyes: There's a huge difference between the Med & Lg for women's cut. I don't want it falling off of me and I don't want it too snug either. I guess it will depend on how much stretch is in the fabric.

Help me decide here. Their medium measures a 34 and their large measures 36-38. What happened to 35 darnit - that's what I measure at.

James (chimivee) did you receive the samples yet?

36-38 might be too big for you, if it will fit someone that's 38. I would go for 34 if you're a 35.

But then again, it might shrink after the first wash ;)

Uh oh, don't listen to me...

For now, let's just get an accurate count of how many jerseys we need to order. So, if you are SURE you want a #2 jersey, email me at worker4youth@hotmail.com with the following info. Please do not email me if you are still deciding whether or not to order...there will be plenty of time to get in on the order later, when you do decide for sure.

- Count and size of jersey (http://www.customcyclewear.com/sizechart.htm for sizing)
- Full Zipper, Half Zipper?
- Club, womens, or race cut?

You don't need to send me payment yet. This is just to get an approximate # of orders. Please no PMs! Send me an EMAIL at worker4youth@hotmail.com with the above info! Please email by September 9th.


Thanks for handling this for us!

Is it really a half zipper or 3/4? Their website seems to indicate 3/4...

Does anyone know how the race cut XL in verge compares to the race cut in this company (I wear an XL verge race cut jersey (a little tight but not bad) - when I loose some weight it will be perfect?

How long do we have to pay? I am hoping to get my first paycheck from my new job in a few weeks (I don't have any credit cards anymore) - 55 should not be a problem (I should make it in tips this week) but I am really strapped for cash right now. (The reason I have no made any group rides - no gas!).

I'll take care of $10 for Mandy's to partially repay for the SAG on Apple Pie I.

I emailed you...thanks for taking care of this.

I'm debating on size, but leaning toward a large...anyone know how these run in comparison to voler? My large Cool Breeze jersey is fitting nicely now :p and if they're cut similarly, I'll just go with large.

Hmm, looks like there is 1/2, 3/4 or full.

EDIT: If you said full or 1/2, and really wanted 3/4, just email me the change...

Mandy, I'll put you on the list, just email me your order. I'll chip in $10 for your jersey too along with Phil's offer.

EDIT:
Verge custom sizing: http://www.vergesport.com/sizing.php?rolover=nie&rolover2=nie
Champ Sys sizing: http://www.customcyclewear.com/sizechart.htm

EDIT2:
Looks like there is someone else (wants to be anon?) who will chip in $10 too, so a total of $30 subsidized for you Mandy.

ugh, sorry for the ******** question but club is the looser fit correct?

James (chimivee) did you receive the samples yet?
I have not received the samples. Champion was on vacation all last week. Then, they emailed me yesterday and said "You're team already placed an order with us," referring to the generic BF jersey that worker4 youth previously ordered. I emailed them back and told them this is a SEPERATE NEW ORDER. It's understandable why they are confused, but it's frustrating that they have yet to answer a few simple questions of mine from a week ago. I'm glad worker4youth is taking this over. :p

Anway, as far as the samples: Before they receive a 50% deposit for the order, Champion will only send samples for the buyer to assess the quality, and will not send full size runs. Once the deposit has been placed, we have the option to receive samples in all sizes. Still, I requested samples in all sizes (but doubt I will get it - heck they still don't even understand that there's a new order to be placed).

Anyway, thanks worker4youth for taking this on yet again. CJBruin also offered to help, so you may want to get in touch with him. You seem like you know what you're doing, so I'll gladly let you be the contact. Just tell me when they need artwork. I'm leaving tomorrow out of town, but will return on Sept 11.

Help me decide here. Their medium measures a 34 and their large measures 36-38. What happened to 35 darnit - that's what I measure at.

Go with the tighter one :)

ugh, sorry for the ******** question but club is the looser fit correct?

Yep. Think of the race cut as more of a "V" shape jersey, so the bottom half will be tighter, and more aero...if that matters to you.

Personally, I find race cuts more comfortable...but others like club cut better.

I really appriciate it everyone, more than you know [HUGS!!!]. I have not had a source of income for the last 4 - 5 weeks and I am living on about 30 dollars right now (at least I still live at home) - riding my bike everywhere. I really hope to see everyone else out soon, and for SAG I really enjoyed it very much and would love to do it again if you ever have another simular ride like apple pie - yummmm....

I guess we are like a family here :)

Thank You,
Mandy

BTW Race Cut XL will be fine for me (3/4 zip).

Thank You :D

Any idea of how their sizing runs, compared with Voler? I'll email you my order, once I figure out if I need L or XL jersey. This is for jerseys only, correct? Bibs will follow later? Thanks to Worker4Youth and Chimivee:D

I am not sure about bibs/shorts. I don't think we ever decided whether to order them or not...did we? If we did, I don't mind adding those to the order.

What cuts do events (like Cool Breeze) generally provide when you buy their jerseys, Club or Race?

I believe they are club cuts!

Should we specify sleeveless or short sleeve, or are they all going to be short sleeve?

The champion sizing seem larger than others; at least in the smaller end of the scale. 35" chest is normally US small, Euro sizing is L, and Champion it is XS.

This is all based on their sizing chart. Has anyone tried their jersey in person?

Should we specify sleeveless or short sleeve, or are they all going to be short sleeve?

short, sleeveless and long sleeve have to be ordered with the short sleeve cuz i doubt there will be interest in 10 of each... so have to be part of the 10 minimum in this order....

So that means we can specify sleeveless here I take it? I just want to make sure that's an option on this go-round. If not, I'm happy with short sleeve....

i can and will order a long sleeve jersey.
Caligurl, if you are going to order a long sleeve and allow sleeveless, I think it's only fair that people get to order #3 and #4 designs later on...do you agree?

Argh... let's not open that can of worms right now. If you want jersey #2, order it. If you don't want it, don't order it. We're not taking orders for the others right now. If you or someone else wants to solicit orders for the others later, we'll look to see if there's still critical mass after the orders for jersey #2.

I have not received the samples.

Thanks James. I was hoping to find out how stretchy the fabric is. I think I may have to opt for the larger size - don't want to push my luck. :)

Go to REI and see if they have the Alaska jerseys. Those are Champion club cut. I wear Pearl Izumi race cut Large and found the Champion club Medium too small, and club Large too big.

If you're ordering a large then damn...think that pushes me into XL?

Ummmm, you need to measure your new bust. :p It just doesn't make sense to me that they skip two inches between medium and large!

I'm going to try to make it to REI tomorrow. Hopefully they'll have a women's cut to try on.

Worker4youth, no ordering without me, k? :)

I love your white out Tiff. :D I have measured but since they're not quite settled into their new home yet it's hard to tell at this point.

I'll let you know if I have luck at REI tomorrow. Maybe I can give you a recommendation on size.

Remember that you can always go with a 3/4 zip and not have to worry about those restrictive fabrics...
