And, OMG, it fits like a DREAM--and is super flattering! I love that it has no bottom elastic or elastic around the sleeve openings. I have a women's Verge brand jersey that fits me similarly and it was previously my favorite. :cool:

Pictures?

I'll have to wait until DH is home from Death Valley in a few days to get a good pic. I can never get a good shot of myself in the mirror.

I think it was USPS...got a few things that day, so there may have been some UPS stuff in there, too. But in the past I think Twin Six orders have been USPS.

Becca, I didn't get mine yet either, if that's any consolation.

zoom-zoom must Know People. :p

Ed. to add: zoom-zoom's right, according to my receipt it's going to eventually be shipped via USPS Priority Mail.

I do remember those being in the mailbox now that you mention it. I just had to spend a bunch of money on a washing machine and NOT a bike.:(

Appliances suck...almost as much as cars. I hate things with motors, too.

I can't complain, I did just get a new flat bar road bike in the spring and an entry level mountain bike a few weeks ago so I shouldn't complain. I would just like to be able to grow up someday and not have to spend all the money on boring household appliances and/or blood sucking leech teenagers!

Here I am...I am definitely going to have to get more Twin Six jerseys. I love this thing:

And the back (can you see why I need curvy jeans desperately?!):

I'm amassing quite the Twin Six collection, as I really like the way they fit me. Wish they had lots more jerseys for me to pick from! :)

YAY I got mine! A bright spot amongst the appliance drama that is going on at my house. I ordered the long sleeved one and it is very flattering. I'd post a picture, but I'd probably break something.

Yay, Becca! I think next year I will have to pre-order the LS version.

Kirsten - I love it! Very cute! Now I want one!

And it's true, we share a very, very similiar body type. In fact, I think I have a photo of me in my only twin six jersey. I wore it to my fitting last week because it is definitely one of the best fitting jersey's I own.

Please ignore my expression, I didn't realize he was taking a photo until after it was taken!

Hee hee.

I should warn you, it's not really the same jersey. The LS jersey is actually quite different from the SS (at least, this year's LS is different than my SS Fat Cyclist jersey from a few years back, which I think might be the original version).

And some of those differences aren't really spelled out on the website.

As was mentioned on the website, the fabric of the LS is fleeced, so its going to be great for chilly days.

What the T6 site doesn't mention is:

The bottom is elastic (unlike the SS jersey).
The zipper is full length (which from my perspective is actually nice, since I'll probably wear it often with a thin wool underlayer, as sort of a lightweight jacket).
The fit of the LS is a bit different as well -- I found the medium to fit a bit snugger than my medium SS, which fits me just fine. This was in part on account of the elastic on the bottom of the LS, but I found the arms to be a bit snug as well.


That said, even though I was kind of disappointed to find the bottom is elasticized (not a fan of that), it's a lovely jersey.

I think I'll want to wear a baselayer underneath it often, so I sent the medium back to exchange for a large. Hopefully I'll get my roomier LS jersey soon. :cool:

So, if you do opt for the LS as well, you might want to consider ordering up a size.

Ooh, yeah, no elastic-bottomed jerseys for me. Though nowadays the SS jerseys also have a full zip, which is pretty nifty.

Oh, I didn't realize the SS's were now full zip as well
( ... and yet, there it is, plain as day in the SS description on the T6 website :o )
