I had the opportunity to get this shirt:

Was quite surprised when I opened it because for the price that is charged, this shirt is of great quality - enough that I wanted to share.
It's 100% cotton, a thick cotton. Not the cheesy little thin shirts that you see around but rather thicker than the usual shirts you may see. The print on it is also on generously, meaning that it gives me the impression that it will not wash away or flake off like some will do after repeated spins in the washer. I pulled on the fabric around the print to see if it will crack or if the cloth shows through but it does not.
The size is not too large or too small so my evaluation is that that the sizes run true. The hems on the sleeves as well as the bottom edge are double stitched, not something you see too often at this price.
What I like best though about this particular design is this: On days that I dont' want to wear a jersey and just want to run to do some errands, I think wearing this alone will catch the attention of those in cars. The lettering is clear and large but doesn't look tacky at all. At least not to me!
I am really impressed with this and wanted to let you know that as picky as I am about things, the quality of this shirt did not let me down but rather surprised me. I think that at the price that it goes for, this is certainly a deal. And for me to do a write up, it's gotta be pretty good. I hate doing write ups. This is only the second write up I have ever done for cycling.
Oh and the tag that is on the shirt? It's also a cool decal that you can peel off and use! :thumb:
Another note: You can find the link to this shirt and others on the sig of one of our members, Scrodzilla (http://www.bikeforums.net/member.php?164476-Scrodzilla) - - but you have to click on the flashy thingy in the 'about me' section of the profile.
Shirts with cycling in mind. No wonder they are so cool. :)
