Sorry, yellow, I was on the phone when you called back. How tight is it? The club cut is tighter than other Small voler jerseys? Is it tight if you are bent over the handlebars? Voler jerseys fit dramatically better when you are in a cycling position rather than standing straight.
I'm hyper-ventilating now.
I got my shipment from Oregon HQ too! Everything looks great - the design and colors came out really well.
But one question for the fashionistas - is wearing the jersey, vest and arm warmers together too much?? (I'm not used to all this red.)
I'm planning to wear it ALL! There can never too much red. OK, I'll pass on red tights.
However, maybe we better check with Cali.
BTW, does it fit? Geez, I'm panicking.
No need to panic.Quote:

The medium jersey fits well, and I like the club cut. The material is surprisingly sheer - as in, I guess I better wear something underneath :eek:.
The small unisex vest fits OK, a little tight around the hips.
Breathe.
Just stop! Breathe into a paper bag, find your center. OmmmmmmmmmmmmQuote:

Someone post a picture!!!!!
Please? :o
Mine was in my mailbox today and it is SOOOO purty! I plan to wear it tomorrow morning on a mtn bike ride and tell everybody its origins. Soon, a photo, I promise. The design and colors are beeeeyoootiful! I am a happy girl. :)
They are gorgeous!!! Excellent job sadie and spazz!
Hmmm, maybe I'll take the wind vest to Maui.....you know, for the windy cold on Haleakala.. (and aren't you impressed that I can spell Haleakala!)
Got mine today and it's too small. :(
It's a 3XL and fits fairly well through the body but the arms are so tight they put my hands to sleep (I've lifted weights for years so I guess the upper arms are not proportional).
If anyone wants a 3X, let me know.
Got my jersey today. Colors and pattern are outstanding! The size is, however, too small. Got the club cut in large, and it is tight through the chest, shoulders, arms and snug through the body. Would love to sell my large and buy an extra large if one is available.
Queen, have you considered making it a sleeveless? A seamstress only needs to bind the armholes for you. The sleeveless look exactly the same but no sleeves.Quote:

You can't see the other pics where it's creeping up under my armpits, but all road jerseys do that on me.
Amici Veloci in Walnut Creek California (Men's medium racer cut)
Can you tell I've just been balling my eyes out to "notebook" - my nose is all red! :o
I admit it, I'm a little jealous. Especially of the armwarmers, 'cause, like, I don't have any and they're way kewl. But, like jeannierides, the timing just wasn't right for me. If you ever do this again, can you do it when I've got spending money? :p
Thanks for the suggestion but I don't leave the house in sleeveless gear. :eek: :DQuote:

Wow, the jerseys came out fabulous!
The wms medium short-sleeve club cut fits me pretty much perfectly, yay ! And it looks stylin' :)
The wms med sleeveless race cut is, um, okay - I hate that lower elastic though ! I can get used to it, maybe, or take remedial measures (snip!)
The wind vest is particularly striking, but like Kim, I ordered a unisex small and I wish I went with the medium - it's way too snug in the hips for my liking, rats! So I might be parting with that, reluctantly.
Great job SK, snap, spazz - a beautiful design!
And thanks to the good people at Oregon HQ for sending them out so promptly!
I'm going to take my race cut sleeveless off to the alterations folks for those remedial measures. Probably same with the vind vest but the vest does have a double zipper so it can be opened from the bottom a tad.
Reporting in from Oakland - the jersey and arm warmers are bee-u-tee-ful!
I ordered the 3X and it is pretty darn snug - my bulges are a little too well-defined! - but I'm hoping in another couple thousand miles, it will look better on me. So maybe I'll post a photo of me in the jersey then! Likewise the large armwarmers are a little tight, but definitely wearable now, and they look great!
BTW - who is "twintheory.com" on the back of the collar?
Well done guys! Great design!
They look stylin and very classy!!!!
Queen "Thanks for the suggestion but I don't leave the house in sleeveless gear. :eek: :D"
thought that's what arm skins are for :p ;) :D
Bikerz....
I was curious too about the twintheory.com....in fact, I was a little fearful of what I may have unknowingly supported by the purchase (and continue to support via my moving advertisement). From what I can discern, it may be the company used to facilitate the Amici Veloci logo. Click on the site and see what you think......
Mystery solved - Amici Veloci appears on Twin Theory's client list...Quote:

But for fun we could make up some vast conspiracy theory thing - who wants to start? :D
Well, there's the 'vanishing twin' theory which Tyler Hamilton tried to use in his defense...Quote:

You guys are too funny.
Yes, Twin Theory folks are my neighbors, puppysitters and friends. They provided a vast amount of unpaid cleanup work on the logo and lots of general design consulting. Couldn't have done it without them. Maybe they can get a little business in return.

PS - One of the partner's SOs is also my Tuesday afternoon riding partner.
The jerseys and armwarmers are gorgeous! Good thing I didn't order a small, however, from what you've said about your fits, it would've been quite snug! Anyway, next time for me! :)
Wah.... :( Mine still hasn't arrived.....maybe tomorrow...I hope. I just be waitin' by the mailbox...... :rolleyes:
Repeat from another post:
Just to let everyone know, snap and I have been kicking around the idea of sending in a new order. This means we have to have a min of 25 items ordered. It may be a long shot but we'll be cooking up the plan in the next couple of days and I have to call Voler about their production schedule.
It would help to know who might be interested in a jersey (shortsleeve or sleeveless) or a windvest.
We'll also set up a list of folks who want to sell or trade for a different size.
I have a couple extra pairs of size small arm warmers. If someone wants to buy them ($29) let me know.
I might be interested in those arm warmers, but I was worried they'd be too long (I am very short) and too tight at the same time. Any chance you can do some measurements for me and I'll think on it?Quote:

I'm 5'1" and my other pair of med Voler arm warmers seem tight (I'm such a muscle bound brute....not) but these are fine, length is perfect too. Very comfy and fleecy inside.
I will wear them evey day even when totally innapropriate. ;) :cool: :D Like to Opera and such.
Hee Hee - Im imagining Trek at the opera, posh frock, opera glasses and armwarmers. :D :DQuote:

LOL - Trek could be starting a fashion revolution. Will we see this trend on the Paris catwalk do you think? :D :DQuote:
