Didn't even bother trying them on as I could tell they wouldn't come close to fitting.

When shopping for jerseys, look for designations of "race cut" and "club cut." The latter is more forgiving. Sometimes too forgiving.

Finally, please don't buy any jersey bearing the likeness of any current or former breakfast cereal mascot or any member(s), original or otherwise, of The Three Stooges. This summer, during a large charity ride, I saw a father-son duo wearing Spaghetti-Os and Fruit Loops jerseys, respectively. Damn near broke my heart. It may be too late for dad but, with intensive reprogramming, the kid may turn out o.k.
