It doesn't matter though. There are very few people with perfect bodies in this world and eventually their stuff is gonna sag too.
As Al Bundy once said: "It's not the clothes that make a person look fat; it's the fat that makes a person look fat". I am becoming a wool/wool blend bike jersey fan. I bought some used stuff on geartrade.com and highly recommend this route. I saved 50+% over retail (so it cost more what it actually should) and the stuff is in perfect condition.
