Graham Watson jerseys

[Bluetree]

Anyone seen these jerseys? I thought they were pretty neat (and they comes in women's sizes). I came across the manufacturer's web site, but they don't do direct selling – only wholesale to dealers starting in April. Susan... are you going to be carrying these?

I have never seen those before but I love them. Let me know if you find a place selling them.:D

[bmccasland]

Ooohh sweeett, I'm in lust.

[Jen]

Wow!! those are tooooooo cool. Would love to have one of those!

[Pedal Wench]

Where did you see those? Are there more styles?

[Triskeliongirl]

Susan PLEASE carry these, I will buy one if you do (assuming the cost isn't too outrageous)!

[Bluetree]

I would buy the SS jersey in a heartbeat. The manufacturer is Champion Systems (they make xs women's jerseys!). There are other styles, but the Sunflower is my favorite:

Oh, they are gorgeous!

I LOVE the mountain one...or the sleeveless sunflower one...

Susan?? :D

Susan?? :D

Oooh the mountain one is lovely too. Maybe its lucky we cant buy them because I would have to have both the mountain and sunflower.:)

[Offthegrid]

Oooh, I love sunflowers.

[LL_Super_D]

Ditto on the mountain and the sunflower ones. Would not be able to resist buying one :)

[HillSlugger]

I like Mountain and Tower.

[Susan Otcenas]

I haven't been on the forums for several days. Sorry I missed your inquiries.

So the jersey posted at the top by Blue Tree? I have this poster framed right over my desk here in the office. I'm looking right at it not 3 feet away. It's absolutely gorgeous and is my all time FAVORITE Graham Watson poster. Soooo, yes, I will look into carrying these. I want one for myself! And we've carried Graham Watson posters off and on over the years, so I'm sure it will be a snap for us to pick up the jerseys. I'll try to get in touch with them in the next day or so.

[sbctwin]

I just wish it had women cyclists....

[pepe6599]

There all pretty cool looking. I wouldn't mind the tower.

[LL_Super_D]

Yay - thank you Susan! You just made my day

[Aint Doody]

Oooh! I want one, too!

[Trekhawk]

Yipee!!!!! Oh my I can see that jersey drawer of mine getting harder to shut each time I look at TE.:eek:

[Bluetree]

Any news on when we can start ordering? :p

[Susan Otcenas]

Hopefully soon. We've already had several back and forth emails/conversations. I'm trying to nail down what specifically is available in women's, as their website does not match their order form.

More info soon! :)

Susan

[Susan Otcenas]

Can I get a general consensus on which ones you like best? That will help me make a decision.

Also, I spoke with the company again this a.m. They say expected ETA is looking closer to end of April, despite what their website says (Apr 1).

Thanks for the input!

Susan

[Bluetree]

Definitely the SS Sunflowers in S or XS!!!

:D :D :D

Susan, you're the best!

[HillSlugger]

Mountain or Tower in a L or XL (whichever fits a 41 chest)

[Pedal Wench]

Sunflower and Mountain (size Women's Small) for me

[makbike]

Susan:

Do you have any idea how much these jerseys will run? If I had an endless supply of money I would purchase the susflower and mountain jerseys.

[LL_Super_D]

Sunflower and Mountain in XS

[pepe6599]

I like the tower and mountain S.

[Susan Otcenas]

Susan:

MSRP is $89.95

[songlady]

Sunflower (sleeveless) gets my vote!!!

[Aint Doody]

Sunflower in sleeveless and Eiffel Tower--small

[Trekhawk]

Sunflower or Mountain in size medium or large (hmm not sure on the sizing my chest measurement seems to fit somewhere in between).:)

[Susan Otcenas]

OK, I'm placing an order for the mountain, tower, sunflower short sleeve and sunflower sleeveless.

I have a few questions for you:

If you want sunflower, are you more likely to order the sleeveless or the shortsleeve? I'm considering ordering more sleeveless than short sleeve, since it's such a "summery" looking jersey and because it's the only one available as a sleeveless. Thoughts?

Finally, I'm also considering ordering a small supply in men's. Would the men in your life wear them?? We have a small tandem section on the site, which I would add these to. And, would the men you know wear the sunflower jersey? Or should I just order the tower & mountain in men's. Thoughts?

Thanks for your input ladies. I'm really excited about these jerseys. I think they're gorgeous!

Susan -

My husband did not like the sunflower one for himself, but he did like the other two.

Personally, I am interested in the sleeveless sunflower one precisely because it is sleeveless. I like the mountain design better, but I use sleeveless jerseys more. I don't know if that helps you decide...but I would make sure to get plenty in the sleeveless since that's the only sleeveless option!

Agreed! :o

I would prefer the short sleeve sunflower jersey. I dont think my husband would wear the sunflower one but I think he would wear the tower or mountain.:) Thanks Susan for getting these in.:)

[Triskeliongirl]

MY DH would NOT wear the sunflower. He probably wouldn't order any of them cuz he'd think they are too expensive and too 'busy', but that may just be him. My favorite is the sunflower followed by the mountain, not real fond of the tower. I like both the sleeveless and sleeved, so I would say get a good supply of both. Given that it will be late spring, I imagine lots of folks will be in the mood for sleeveless, although sometimes I prefer sleeved so that I can wear them year round. My only concern is the high cost, I don't usually spend this much on a jersey so I am honestly not sure if I will actually purchase one, although I am in love with the sunflower.

[Susan Otcenas]

Based on your input, I think I will not order the sunflower in men's, but WILL order a few of the tower and mountain.

I can always order men's sunflower later if we get a bunch of requests.

Thanks for your help!

Susan

[Grog]

The only one my sweetie likes is the "World" one.

[Batbike]

Susan

When will they be available? I am very interested in a sleeveless jersey -- probably sunflower. THANKS.

[renee]

I would buy the sunflowers too.

[momof4greatkids]

Is there any information on the measurements and sizing of these jerseys?

They are so adorable. I would probably need something like an xl or xxl to fit my curvy hips.....a small, unfortunately, is usually all I need in the bust area :rolleyes:

The sunflower jersey, I feel like I must have it!

Colleen

[Jo-n-NY]

Sunflower Sleeveless for me. I also have the framed poster above my desk here at home. I really love it!!!

[leighko]

I would like the sunflower in ladies large (with sleeves). Thanks!

Susan,
Are they here yet are they here yet????

[Susan Otcenas]

No, I'm afraid we are still 3-4 weeks out. We *did* get our photography samples from them, however, and the jerseys are very vivid. Everyone here in the office oohed and aahed over them.

They sound wonderful Susan. I cant wait to see one in person although I will have to listen to my husband exclaim" OMG not another jersey".:D

Susan

Do you know what the price range will be?

[pooks]

Do they come in plus sizes? I'd love a sleeveless sunflower, or shortsleeve if I have to go to a men's size.

[Susan Otcenas]

Graham Watson Jerseys are here!

http://www.teamestrogen.com/brands.asp?brandID=14

The only one we ordered that we're still missing at the moment is the sleeveless women's sunflower jersey. Well, actually, it's in our warehouse but they made an error on our order and we're waiting to find out how long it will take to get replacements. Hopefully not too long!

Susan

[pooks]

Wonderful!

Do you have any idea what the hips measurements are on the women's XL and XXL jerseys?

[LL_Super_D]

Oooh! What a nice Friday surprise :)

[Jo-n-NY]

Since I really wanted the sleeveless as I have many short sleeves, I will need to wait.

They look really nice!!

~ JoAnn

[Trekhawk]

Yipee!! Oh no now my jersey drawer really will be hard to close.:eek:

[Offthegrid]

How is the sizing on these? I'm currently wearing a size 14 and I wonder if the XXL would be a good fit.

[beth63111]

www.velogear.com carries the Graham Watson jerseys. I have ordered from them before; they seem to be fine to do business with and they send you catalogs after your first order. They also have some unique jerseys that use classic/antique cycling-related poster artwork.

[Trekhawk]

My jersey arrived a few days ago and it is beautiful. I got the medium and its pretty fitted compared to other medium jerseys I own. Having said that I think the measurements listed were slightly smaller for this medium than the other brands of jerseys in my drawer (I think the size guide is pretty accurate). Im going out now for a quick ride so I will let you know how it feels on the bike but so far Im very impressed. The only down side is that it makes me look like I should be super speedy.:D

[Aint Doody]

I got mine, and I agree with Trekhawk. They run a bit small, but I'd looked at the sizing chart and got the right size. I'm still waiting on when the sleeveless sunflower one is ready to go. I want one of those, too. Any ideas, Susan?

Susan K.

Yup! :)

The batch we initially received from GW was incorrect in that we specifically asked them to remove the elastic at the waist. Elastic at the waist in this style is standard for this manufacturer, but we felt it was too tight. Sooo, we sent them all back, and they are making new ones for us (ie. NOT simply removing the elastic from the old ones). Per our rep:

"We are going to make new jerseys. They will ship out of our factory May 21. You will have them between the 25-28."

Hope this helps!

Susan

[Aint Doody]

Ooooh! Thank you!

[Aint Doody]

What's the status on the sleeveless sunflower jerseys? I still really, really want one. Thanks!!!!!!!!!

[Crankin]

I got the sunflower jersey last Friday. I rarely buy anything that isn't Terry, so I ordered the x small as usual. I would say that it's tight and form fitting, but I didn't want to send it back for the small, because I know that would be a bit too big. Even the arms are a bit snug, but when i wore it on Sunday, it felt fine while I was riding. And I got so many compliments on it. I have never spent this much on a jersey, but I really like it. Now, i can't gain any weight or it won't fit!

[GLC1968]

Ditto!

I keep checking every day because I also really, really want one! :D

[Susan Otcenas]

We received a UPS tracking number from the manufacturer yesterday, so they should be here and on the website within a week. Soooo sorry for the delay. Thanks for your patience ladies!

Susan

[bmccasland]

Now that I've ordered mine :D just thought I'd let the rest of y'all know that they're in, available, whatever. On the TE site!

Had to order the socks to match.... Happy birthday to meeeee!!

[GLC1968]

I got my sleeveless jersey yesterday and it ROCKS! It's not only beautiful, but it fits wonderfully. Totally true to the size chart and I love that there is no elastic at the hem. Thanks TE!!

It was worth the wait! :D

[Aint Doody]

Ditto! And I got the socks, too! Yahoo!!!!!
