Also, before anyone gets excited as soon as we hit 15 "yes" votes, I am not comfortable investing too much time until we have at least 18-20. I've learned that life happens and oftentimes, a yes becomes a no for a variety of reasons. Just stuff I've learned from past orders.

Wise approach. You can count me in for 2 jerseys, that is firm except in the unlikely event that I die before we go ahead. I think I still have a good 40+ years on the engine...

Bike forums isn't sponsoring the jersey though.

I'm not 100% in so please don't let this question influence or change things!

I've never bought a jersey. When you do a custom design like this, is it possible for each buyer to choose to get long sleeves or no sleeves? Or is it always short sleeves?

I'm in. I prefer Primal as the products I've tried from them are always first class quality and most importantly fit as described!!!

Joe appears to be on vacation so I'll attempt to answer as best as I can.

Simple answer is: It depends. Some vendors will work with you and use your design on many of their different jerseys and other products. For example Voler - my club gives them our design and we can order long, short or sleeveless jerseys as well as shorts or bibs. Rain jackets, thermal jackets, vests, arm warmers and much more too. That being said understand we are talking substantial quantities, so that's also a determining factor.

If I recall correctly when last order was placed we only were able to order short sleeve jerseys. At that time, Champion systems was the vendor.

When we have a fairly large group and a vendor is chosen, that's when we will know what will be available.

A bike jersey has pockets in the back and is very comfortable to ride in. Try one and you'll see what I mean.

Thanks @tunavic. Yes, I took my family camping for the weekend and didn't spend much time on the phone.

When we did the first three rounds, the deal was that as long as we hit a minimum of one style (short sleeve), we could add any number of any other item that we had a design for. We had a women's SS and a men's LS version that a few took advantage of. The answer for this round, though, as tunavic mentioned, is up to the finalized vendor.

Agreed. All this talk made me break out my C/A jersey for my ride this morning. It reminded me that I really don't like 3/4 zippers! Yah, my helmet's not on straight. I know!

After seeing @PhotoJoe post a pic of himself, I disagree.

Now, I would say........"doubtful and definitely don't get your hopes up"

Well, the interest is there for quite a few of you, but we need several more to commit before we can move forward.

ChampSys responded that they still offer up to 4x, however, I think there are enough people wanting to go other directions that we may need to make a change in companies. The drawback to that is what is the largest these other companies offer? This is the C/A. We need to be sensitive to the needs.

So I think I see 14 committed to short sleeve jerseys with at least one wanting a long sleeve, as well. We're close, but not quite there.

Oh Joe. I hope you gt the interest you're looking for. I think that it's an attractive jersey and a caring thing you are doing. For some reason I can't put my finger on I'm just on the no side. I didn't vote because I didn't like the wording. But I understand your need to be definitive on this. Best of luck!

I didn't vote because I am a maybe. It really depends on price at this time. I could use some jersey's and would like to represent the clydes but price at this time is a concern.
