Jersey doping works. The Wright brothers doped the fabric of their contraptions and they flew. Literally! (Doping - painting a fabric stretched over a framework with shellac. The shellac shrinks the fabric as it dries, leaving a smooth, stiff film. I suspect the jersey, so treated, would be quite aero but a little harder to breath in. Never mind the jersey would have to be peeled off and that might not be fun.
