I went to a couple bike shops in the big city in my prefecture, Nagoya, and I got to browse some of the name brand bike clothes. I was very impressed, and definitely want in to a sort of "want mode".

I actually almost bought a Shimano navy blue jersey for about $80 that I tried on and really liked, but I didn't want to have that argument with my SO. After getting home, I couldn't find the same jersey online, and am regretting not getting it. Oh well, there will be other jerseys for me to look at and also not buy later.

It will be interesting to see how the $13 Aliexpress jersey compares.
