I have tried trimming the prickly threads on the inside but it only made it worse. The fabric is excellent and the embroidery is beautiful but I cannot enjoy this expensive jersey because it is painful to wear.

Diederik from Magliamo refuses to repair or replace the jersey and told me to "wear a t-shirt under it", which I had already tried with no relief.
I wanted to make you all aware of their customer-unfriendly return/repair policy before you make the same mistake I did.
FYI
Oof, I remember that feeling on an old jersey...

I know it's not what you're looking for, but I've been wearing thin wool t-shirts under jersies and shirts when riding for decades. The new merino wool ones are very comfortable, as comfortable as any cotton t-shirt I've ever owned.

At any rate, thanks for the heads up on Magliamo
