Woolistic makes the jersey and they are 100% wool. I know a long sleeve might seem hot to some, but I can actually use it in most weather, not just in cool weather. (But there’s an ultralight SS version for those who need it.) I love how wool breathes better than Lycra. I used both for a summer in Houston, TX and the wool won hands down. The Lycra had to be tossed because of the funk it acquired. In the world of bikes, steel is real; in the word of garments, wool is cool. (Ok, that’s the best rhyme I could come up with.)
But I digress. Message me and we can get a jersey worked out, I’ve already done it for one registrant.
Now if money were no object, I’d get the Saint James Matelot fisherman’s sweater. But at $225+... They made a groovy sweater for Velo Motors a while back, and were part of the inspiration for this version.
