You guys were bike close when you ride? Where do you get them? I ware some Performanse stuff. I don't really like jersies though. But Performance XXL fit me, but after a few washes, they are a lil snug. What do you clides ware that is comfortible in a jersy?
Also shorts? I ware Pearl Isumo XXL and they fit good enuff. But I tired Performance and even the XXL shorts seem small. What shorts do you ware? I need something a bit bigger cause we all know it's try what they say about us clides!

I've used XXL Nashbar, Cannondale, and Specialized bike shorts with happy fit and results. One crash I had skidded me along the pavement on my bottom - NO ROAD RASH! The bike shorts kept me from losing any skin! I'm sold on using bike shorts when I ride.
Bike jerseys, I've never liked - they make me look like a sausage. I ride with loose T-shirts instead. With a "tall" T-shirt, it is less obvious that I've got the bike shorts on, too.
So far as I know, nobody makes XXXL bike shorts. What a shame - there sure is a market!

The spelling in the OP is so poor it's difficult to read. Really, it's remarkable. Moving on...
I wear full kit and find Pearl Izumi and Descente brands to be a bit more clyde friendly with sizing. More American sized, if you will. Having said that, the size charts of cycling clothes seem to vary greatly, so find a brand or two that works for you. World Cycling Productions has pretty good charts.

Poly shirts from Target or Alert shirts are about all I wear in the summer.

T-shirt and a pair of riding pants do the trick for me. These are the pants I am talking about:

I am comfy, and to me that's all that matters.

+everything to Aerotech Designs. They've made some of the most comfortable clothes from all the way back when they were Schnaubelt Shorts, with just a table set up at the pre-ride shop 'n' swaps. (Got my first pair of Schnaubelt's at a century ride in Cleveland, so far back I don't remember what year.)

As another poster mentioned, I like the poly shirts from target. I think the line is "C9".
Also definitely check out Aerotech Designs. My next purchase will be a cycling bib from them.
