A name from the distant past that I believe has been revived by the founders' offspring - Jones Cyclewear in Leominster, MA. In the mid '70s they made custom jerseys for NEBC, a Boston area racing club that is still around. At the time they offered custom jerseys in either wool or synthetic. Now this was long before the modern wicking synthetics and Smartwool. The wool jerseys had the washing and drying requirements of a century ago and stretched a lot if you loaded the pockets. I was a young racer/bike shop employee. Cash was tight and surplus dedicated to sewups so I ordered the synthetic jersey. I made it work rather well by wearing a fishnet T-shirt under.

Relative to this thread - that jersey and two others I bought over the next two years were really well made and fit very well. I still have the jersey I raced the next year when I was at my best. My weight has barely changed and I can still wear that jersey and get reminded every time how well it fits. It has zero issues with stitching, pockets, zipper or details and has never seen a repair. Very faded. Probably 10-20,000 miles on it.

I have no idea what Jones is producing now or their quality but certainly they know their past reputation and if they live up to it, they could be a nice answer for a club. As far as women's jerseys? Nothing first hand here! But I remember Lyn Lemaire wearing hers frequently as reigning US TT champion and record holder. She's on wikipedia so shouldn't be too hard to find and would probably get a kick out of being asked how she liked the Jones clothing.

If you do talk to her, give her a hi! from Ben Jeffries. Last I saw or heard of her was summer of 1978 when she was on top of her game and I was riding my post TBI year. I'd start Cat 1-2 criteriums and quickly get dropped. She'd leave the woman's peloton behind us and eventually pass me. I'd jump on her wheel for "motorpace" training until the 1-2s came around, then withdraw. She'd go one to win the women's race. So I spent some quality time getting to study her Jones jersey, but sorry, I wasn't paying attention! And for the full circle - Grace Jones, the founder (with her husband) of the company was also USCycling's (well, two iterations of names before) district rep. She'd be there watching me illegally draft a member of another race. She was also my biggest fan. She was at the NEBC annual dinner when it was announced I was in a coma and watched me progress all the next summer to eventually finishing in the field of a 5 hour 1-2 race after getting dropped when the winning break left. Sad part was that Grace left us too soon after years of Alzheimer's.
