How about these?

Vintage Velos jerseys are merino wool, a fairly light weave, or whatever the term is. They handle sweat well, bu8t you will want a base layer of some sort in anything below 70 degress, give or take. They aren't cheap, but they are well made and last. I have a fair number of VV's jerseys and like 'em a lot.

They also have some Eddy Merckx-era Molteni world champ jerseys.

Having something so obviously retro helps reduce the "snide comments" factor.
