I just spoke to Jim Helser, pres of Voler, the company making the LRRH jerseys, as well as Amici Veloci, MS Society, Sierra Century, and many other team and event jerseys. I spoke to him because we found size discrepancies between jerseys of the same size.
What you need to know is that there is a difference in the fit of jerseys based on the fabric used.
Event jerseys for the LRRH and other rides are made from Aries Micro Plus fabric.
Custom team jerseys are made from SQ Pro fabric (i.e, Amici Veloci).
Due to the nature of the fabric, specifically the amount of stretch, jerseys made from Aries Micro Plus will run a tad larger than the same size and cut jersey made from SQ Pro.
Just a public service announcement since jerseys must be ordered by March 24th in order to have yours for the ride (if desired).
Additionally, a sleeveless race cut jersey will run a tad tighter in the bust than the same size race cut short sleeve. The pattern is a tad bit different. Jim understood my quandary, was very apologetic that there had been such confusion and said that they would work on ways to make this clearer in the future. They've heavily relied on sizing samples without realizing the huge number of orders that are placed without access to the samples.
Hope this helps everyone.
