My, you are a glutton for punishment.

My, you are a glutton for punishment.

Yeah, I'll say! But thank goodness you are willing!

Hmmm... long sleeves, eh?

I have to do it as i messed up RedRiders small and... of all things... the one my sweet wife wanted. I need a minimum of 10, or really 8 because I'm getting myself.

You've already recovered???? Are you trying to win immunity from being voted off the island?

If you can offer a bright pink option with tropical flowers, I'll take one of those. ;)

Yoo whoo...I'm in! Will complete order tomorrow, it's bed time now. :rolleyes:

Order is placed. Thanks for the notice.

What is the sizing for Men's bottoms all about?

What if we don't have Paypal? Someone messed with my account, and I haven't been near that site since.

Order is placed. Thanks for the notice.

Bottoms = padded shorts?

Bottoms = padded shorts?


Yep. Bike shorts. But I'm not doing any.

Patience, grasshopper. After we all ride around this weekend wearing our jerseys, everyone will want one.

My order is in. Thanks!

Now that a few people have them, how accurate is the sizing? According to that list, I should be ordering an L (in club), which would be the first time in history (hence my wariness - there's usually a collection of Xs in front of that L). I'm also long in the body. I'm a bit over 42" around the chest but broad shoulders always push me up a size, 6' tall and with a middle aged safety cushion around the middle. I also prefer slightly loose to skin tight. I'm thinking of Club cut, size L. Any suggestions?

Order should be to you now if I read right you may have your minimum now.

My medium is snug, but very wearable. I usually wear a medium, and they are usually just a tiny bit looser. I tried on a large and it was too loose for me, and too big in the shoulders.
If you are worried at all, go XL. Better too loose than too tight, no?

Thanks mate. One order for an XL coming up. Usually when I get a jersy that's too small, I give it to my son, but that probably wouldn't work in this case :rolleyes:

Richard

Thanks for taking care of us procrastinators. :D
Ordered.

good thing payday is on the 15th... i'll be ordering the jersey before i buy any of that optional stuff... like food, gas... you know.....

i am so glad to see the re-order.... thank you!

be,

and be well,

The fit is typical of jerseys. If you normally wear a size large shirt (as I do), order a club XL and it will fit fine, a tiny bit on the snug side, but good and comfortable. If you wear a XL shirt (as I did 30 lbs ago, you'll want a XXL. I have only once gone wrong ordering a jersey a size up from my shirt size. But these are typical.

Hey Curtis - order sent thanks for the opportunity, appreciate your efforts! One thing I forgot to put on the order was that I would like a short sleeve, thanks.
Can't lurk around for long as it is Thanksgiving weekend here north of the border, need to get the turkey on the bbq!

Second order submitted...this time for a long sleeve.

Thanks.

Please -- cgallag won't wear his without me having mine. That makes for an odd OCP pairing on the tandem.

I'd order two if I thought I'd live that long. :D

I usually wear a XL in women's to get enough room through the shoulder area. My XL in this jersey is a little snug through the shoulders.

I still don't see my name...is it a given that I'm in?

Yes. I'll add it in next time so you'll feel included. But not only are you in, you are the reason we're doing this reorder.
1 small (not extra small) sleeveless womens cut for YOU!

BTW, I just did update the list.

Oh, I'm sorry for your trouble. :o I feel responsible, somehow, that I couldn't fit that XS -- I'd have to drink black coffee and lick a breath mint every few hours to fit into an XS. I admit I like a real meal and an adult beverage occasionally -- like, daily -- thus am I not a tiny, lean XS. I'm too sturdy for that -- just ask cgallgh. ;)

Seriously, I appreciate your efforts in getting these jerseys. Thanks, Curtis!

I'm computer illiterate! Have been fighting Pay Pal all morning! Finally got to the point where their automated phone thing called me and asked for my security number. I gave it to them as clearly as I could, but then it says the stupid voice recognition program didn't understand me or something, and they would be sending something by mail which might require 7 to 10 days! Grr!! I hate computers and their stupid voice recognition stuff!!! Heck, just thought that maybe I was supposed to put it in via the touch tone dial method! Wish the voice synthesizer would have spelled it out clearly!!
Anyway, I'll try again when I get their letter! If not too late, put me down for a male Large short sleeve club cut jersey if not too late.
Anyway, no matter what I do I can't seem to do anything till I get their letter!?!
I'll try again but may be too late for the order and out of luck!

I just did the update, and didn't add your name. But I will remember you. If nothing else, because I did the same thing to my wife and owe her a jersey too...

Latest info posted 10-10-07 evening, See first post.

Ok, I just sent out a Paypal Payment with all the information.

Thanks for doing this.

Also glad I got back on my bike and found out just in time.

I just updated the order info in message 1.
Tuesday is the last day to order. Please check your size and make sure I haven't screwed up.

This size thing concerns me just a bit. I am relatively new to jerseys and have no idea what to expect. I have one Nashbar jersey (M) that fits snug.. but ok.

I've ordered two 50+ jerseys, a M club and a L club hoping to get a good fit from one. My tee shirts are large, my polo shirts are mostly M and some L. My chest measures 42.

I'm wondering if I should change both to L and get a large SS jersey and a large LS jersey.

Think I should leave it alone and see which fits best, or would the L be more suitable for me?

Order sent via Pay Pal 10/15/07 - thanks again Curtis.

I would be surprised if the M fits you well unless you have no spare tire at all and can wear tight clothing. My chest measures 44. The chart says I would wear a Large. The XL I ordered fits just a little snug, but not enough that I would want a XXL. A Large would probably cut off my circulation. But I do have a bit of a belly.

Honestly, I don't have much of a spare tire. Less now than before I started riding about 10 lbs ago. The chest and shoulders are what concern me. The belly less so, although I'm guessing the belly is what you have in mind.

Edit: since the Nashbar M jersey fits me ok, that sorta throws my fit calculations off regarding jerseys running about a size small.

You'll probably be OK. I forget that not all of us have this layer around the middle that seems to stay no matter how trim we get otherwise. :(

I'm gonna let it ride as is and see which is the better fit.

Another 10 lbs and what extra layer I have should be all but gone. However, I am reluctant to give up my sweets and I have pretty much stagnated at my current weight. It appears to be a stand-off. ;)

:) I'm thinking we should put you in for sainthood for doing it over again so soon, you did a great job the first time around, and this level of helpful and considerate just doesn't happen that often. You get major points in my book even if you did photoshop me into an impossible situation!!! :beer: Thank you again!

Thanks Dorosz!
ALL: Please look at the confirming message (a seperate thread, or just check the chart in message 1 of this thread) and make sure you're on the chart, and the info is correct!

Hey ya'all.The order has been sent.
I can't believe we had 30 people want this thing. Amazing.
I'll be really buzzed if i ever see one "in the wild."Anyway, let the painful waiting begin. My only hope is that this will be a less busy time at the factory and will take less than the standard 6 weeks to show up here, which would be around the last week in November.
