You're there now. I'd missed the mail somehow.
That's why I'm begging people to check the chart: I'm an artist, not a business man.

All better now?

OK, I thought about it long enough.
I learned from my first one - XL club is pretty loose.
This go 'round, I signed up for a Long Sleeve, XL, Race Cut

You have been "PayPal'd"
I'll wear this one with at least as much pride as my short sleeve

Thanks Curtis!

Added more names. Thirty-two pieces so far. We aren't a sub forum, we're a flippin' movement!

I was looking forward to ordering a vest and wind jacket for myself. We're having a heat wave tis week (just in time or the Davis Double) and now I'm less excited. But it will be cool again, right?

New chart update. Thanks for waiting. I did the Davis Double and was pretty worn out.
Anyway, we are getting a lot of orders. We should start running candidates for national office if we keep getting this kind of groundswell support.

I update the list by doing a screen shot of my database
Turns out that there are so many orders now I can't do it in one screen shot.

Wow.

I'm in.

Edit: Without being able to try the jersey(s) on I ordered XXL. I figured I can always have the jerseys brought in (or whatever it's called when you make them smaller), but it's impossible to make them larger. Anyone else think like this?

I really like the looks of this jersey and would very much like to order one. Does anyone happen to know if they run large or small for women? I seem to fall in between medium and large on the chart, and don't know which way to jump...

I ordered a 3XL based on your sizing chart - I have about a 52" chest, but a 38" waist. In "regular" bike jerseys I wear a 2XL, but my wife is a pretty good seamstress, so she can probably make it fit, anyway, if it's too big.

when we were out at bicycle tour of colorado last year we saw some dudes (from nj or ny or something) that had jerseys that looked EXACTLY like the one pictured except featuring a fat guy riding a bicycle.
it was the funniest riding jersey we saw the whole time. those half-dozen guys were as fast as all get out.

More updates. 52 now!
I got email asking "When do I get it?"

I will order the first week of June. Champ-Sys says they can take as long as 6 weeks to get them to me. I'll have the mailers ready when I get the box. I'll stuff 'em and mail.
But trust me, it will seem like forever. It's worse than being a little kid at Christmas...
But they WILL arrive someday.

We really like the jerseys. I wish mine had long sleeves though.....

Thanks for the reminder! I told Hubby about the new order this morning and mentioned the vest and jacket in this round.

Definitely not rust or red-brown... it's a true red-red. Not orangey red, not peachy red, not tomatoey red, not marachino-cherry red..... rather it's true red-red.

I think it could be called blood red. If we get blood on it and it dries, then it would be brownish-red. When it fades, it will be pinkish red. But when it's new, it's just blood red.
