Anybody get a 'Race Cut' jersey on the first order last year?
If so, what size was it, and how does it fit? Would you get another one?
Please include any pertinent body measurements to substantiate your decision and how you feel about the fit.
Thanks.

Did not get the race cut but one point on sizing. Going by the chart on sizing-I should have got a small, and that is the size I buy in the UK. On advice- I went up a size to a medium and glad I did. The Shortsleeve is fine and so is the long sleeve- but as I would normally wear the long sleeve over other clothing- I should perhaps have gone up one size again for that one.
Go up one size from the measurements given unless you like a very tight fit.
Yes, I got the race-cut in large. It's the size and cut I always order. It fits me perfectly.
I'm 5'-10", 170 lbs. Neck 17", chest 42", waist 32".
(Sheesh, that sounds like a hook-up ad…)
For comparison, my club orders only club-cut. (Imagine that!) The club-cut medium fits me like a burlap bag. The sides flap in the breeze. I'd need a lot more… erm… anatomy to fill it out.

Thanks for your info here, guys.
I'll be ordering the new 50+ jersey. I normally wear a medium in whatever jersey I buy (they're all race cut since they're all snug). I have a 40" chest, 32" waist. I was thinking about ordering a club cut medium but now I'm not so sure (because of the "burlap bag" fit). Stapfam says to go a size larger with the race cut. Is the race cut really that snug, the club cut really that baggy? Any comments from other wearers of the 50+ jersey?
Thanks!

I'm about the same size as tsl but with a 34 inch waist. I bought both the M and L club cut and the M was too small for me. I don't have any flapping issues with the club, but maybe I have more, um, anatomy than tsl.
