Size question.

Am 5'11 and chest is 37"(I am thin at 148 lbs.)

I am concerned if I order the S sized Club Cut jersey it will be too short? I don't want it flapping in the breeze though if it's too big around the chest?

Anyone know how these sizes run for length as well as chest size?

I hate to guess with your money, but I wouldn't do small with your height. Maybe Race Medium. But I'm just guessing.

Just a warning for those of you buying the 50+ jerseys.

It will probably be the only one in your area so you will be easily recognisable. It is distinctive and stands out in a crowd- so no showing up the 25 year old Club racers up hills. They will catch you on the downhills and try and squeeze you out on the corners.

And look for your replies as to what the 50+ means. Most will not believe it is your age as this jersey makes you look so silth like and young. For me it is the number of centuries done - but the number of mountains you have climbed- The number of entries into club Tombay- or how many bikes you have works just aswell.

I tried to design it so the meaning was deniable. Maybe you rode Hwy 50. Maybe you did 50,000 miles. Maybe it's an IQ thing... no that doesn't work.
Anyway, that 50 could be whatever you say it is.

A friend just gave us this photo from a local very-low-key time trial we did.Thought I'd post it as it shows the shorts a bit.

Tricia's jersey is sleeveless, but she has a base layer under it.

I don't have any as Tricia didn't get them. I can't find that info in my order info. Hopefully someone here will post an answer.

We just hit 30 items, which is cause for cheer!
LAST DAY TO ORDER IS SUNDAY

I think that means there are almost 200 50+ items out in the wild, and in several countries!

This is all worth it when I see someone in a jersey I put together. My head just gets so fat!

If you send me an order after tonight (5-14)I won't deal with it until Sunday night, maybe Monday. I'll be either on my bike or going to a bike mechanics class. It's a busy busy weekend.

Ok, sent my order in on Sunday, hope you received it. Any chance that we will see tights for fall/winter? It does get cold here in the Northwest.

Order sent in 5.19.09 !
Let the waiting begin. By the time you get your jerseys you'll have forgotten you ordered them.
It really does seem like it takes forever.
