I'm a nylon hater myself even though I have a couple of synthetic Jerseys. They don't seem to be as uncomfortable to me as the ones in the early '80s though. I do like the understated old styles more too. My merino arm warmers are some of my most useful things to wear.

Since I'm relatively tall for my build I need an xtra tall Jersey and there's not too many out there to choose from. Aerotech and Nashbar being the exceptions for synthetics.

So here's a company that will make an extra tall merino jersey with whatever available color schemes they offer:

Not exactly cheap but certainly competitive with any other higher end wool jerseys considering it's custom made to your specs. I'm ordering one in March providing I have enough left of my bonus check after finishing up my '83 Trek.
