World Jerseys run small or large
Do World Jerseys run small or large? I want to order the CCCP jersey from nashbar but I need to know if they run small or large. Thanks.

They run a tiny bit on the small size. I wear a large in Primal, XL in Descente and XXL in World Jerseys.

My medium feels medium.
But aren't you worried some right winger will take a shot at you?
Love the CCCP Jersey, but for some reason I just didn't feel I could carry it off.
It is, though, a wonderful example of effective minimal design.
I remember seeing the USSR team at a crit in Sacramento during the 80s and thinking they had the best jerseys.
Get the socks that go with it.

Can't do the socks. All about the no show socks. I went ahead and picked up the jersey. Got a size larger. If nothing else, it will be nice wall art.

So there is no consensus, they either run large or small or are true to size, take your pick

I've an XL from them that is shrink wrapped on me and I can't zip up the last 2" on the neck. I have a Descente XL that flaps a bit in the breeze. I have a 'club fit' Voler in XL you could park a truck in. Meanwhile I wear most everyday T-shirts in size large and they are just right.

I wear a large in descente, and a large in world jerseys. If anything, the sleeves are a bit tighter on the world jerseys.
