in terms of scotch? Hells yea... :blech:
For me ..... underwear..I prefer the all natural cotton.
Athletic wear, I'll play with performance fabrics, but I don't have a closet full of coolmax or anything like that.
Some poly, neoprene, long and short sleeves, it's all in the layers. As it is I don't even like wearing a form fitting jersey by itself.

Does anyone know of a seamstress / tailor in toronto that will do alterations to a jacket made of "technical" (schoeller) outdoor fabric without ruining it? or can i take it to any old alterations place?

Re: man made fibres. I stopped wearing cotton for riding a couple years ago, it just gets too sweaty and doesn't dry. I'd love to wear nothing but merino wool, or better still, alpaca, but that stuff is $$$. I have a bunch of polyester "microfiber" shirts, mostly cheap ones from MEC. At first, I found they made me really stinky, but not any more. Initially, I figured I had just gotten acoustomed to my own stench, but I'm pretty sure that's not it. I have no idea what would have changed, but something has. Maybe the biological critters living on your skin have to come into balance with the materials you wear on a day to day basis?

for those of you who are more into a patch idea than a wool jersey, what do you think of something like this:
it's made by the same girl/woman/chick who made my modified knickers from dickies workpants. perhaps i can ask her to make a custom one that with text like "toronto fixed / single" or "fixed in toronto" or "operator is a n00b" or whatever...

Another option available is to buy a batch of generic cycling jerseys off the net (for around $40 per or less) and then get some cool silk screening treatment done locally. Juxtaposition of techy shirt design plus grungy stenciling could be good.
