In the cooler seasons yes, I just got a Wool 1975-76 Peugeot cycling Jersey, Yes white with the checker pattern and in cooler weather it almost doesn't need a base layer. Also I picked up two Jerseys from Recycled Jerseys, one from Spain and one from Germany. The European guys must be small because I wear a medium Voler or other US jersey and I need a XXL from Germany and a XXXL from Spain. Still they are a 7 or 8 by their sizing. But I doubt if any of them will see summer use. I have been looking for wool socks that I like both in feel and looks but so far there is no joy in the search.
