Any clydes ever try Nashbar "essential" jerseys?

I was looking over their web-site and seen their sleeveless "essential" jerseys look pretty good. I'm 5'10" and go about 245 these days and have a rather large beer belly. I also wear a size 44 pants that snug up to my waist. Just looking for some nice plain solid color jerseys that are loose fitting around the mid section, that dont cost so much. I hate clothes that cling to me and just wish I could find a jersey that fits more like a t-shirt, only with a zippered front.

Anybody have any ideas?

I have never tried the jerseys that you mentioned but being that I am rather tall I looked for a tall size jersey \ cycling clothes and found aerotechdesigns.com. They have xxl and tall sizes.
Give them a look.

The jersey in the photo below is from Nashbar:

It's cut loose, so it may be what you are looking for. I'm 6 foot, 260 in the photo, 46 inch waist, and I'm wearing a 2X

Hi Historian, The jersey does look good on you. You look comfortable in it, so I believe the Nashbar sleeveless is a go.

sleeveless jersey

You and I are about the same size.
I've tried both the Essential and the Premium sleeveless.
The Essemtial was baggie on me.
Go to the returns section and save on the Premium.
It looks nicer to. Can't beat Nashbar's return policy.
Hope this link works.

Not sure if they are "essentials", but I bought 3 sleeveless jerseys from Nashbar a year or two ago.....quality is fine, but they don't fit well. I'm not sure if it's the jersey or me.
