Anyone know of any sleeveless jerseys that run long or are available in tall sizes? Or, any brands that tend to run long? I'm 6'4" 215lbs and everything I've tried on lately just seems too short :(

I had a female friend in Colorado Springs who had an in-home business of custom making bike cloths. I know a professional seamstress who can make any kind and size of jersey you could want, She was also an arm-full out on the dance floor. Check your yellow pages.

The Santini team issue jerseys are all I buy now because Nashbar/Performance/Cannondale have all shortened there jerseys up for some reason..

I have a 4xl which is equal to 2xl us sizing and it is 32" back length.. I am 6'3 and they fit great.. Best source is: www.bikejerseys.com

Usually buy 1 or 2 sizes up depending on how you like them to fit..

I'm 6'2" and recently bought some Performance jerseys, they're almost too long for me.

Can confirm my latest Cannondale Jersey was very short in the trunk, but great quality.

FWIW Latest Nike jersey was long in the torso, which suited me just fine.

Giordana XLs have been berry berry good to me. Competitivecyclist is also clearing out 2001 Assos CSC jerseys that are XL for a pretty remarkable $39.99, XL has worked for me as well.

I'm right about 6'3", and about 210-215 depending on how diligent I've been. Worth giving a try.

FWIW, I have the competitivecyclist "team" giordana jersey, which was a pretty good deal, and the giordana brooklyn team jersey. Both full zip, and along with the Assos CSC weirdo jersey are really comfortable and wick tremendously well.

Edit: Just realized that you were looking for sleeveless, and those two options are short-sleeve. D'oh!

6'4", 235lbs and I've had good luck with Performance larger sizes. Also just tried a Hincapie 4X that fits sweet as well.

Slomo, thanks for the tip on the Giordana.
