It helps to work at the place that sells them ;-) That is how I got the "Flourishes Jersey" to wear the day after they arrived. Actually, I don't have one of the Watercolor Riders yet. Susan processes the employee purchases and she is out of the office for a couple more days. I have to wait until she gets back :-(Quote:

I ordered a Flourishes jersey today. I haven't bought a new jersey in a long time. I'm looking forward to wearing it with my red Luna.
I splurged and got the yellow Filagree Wheels and the Flourishes. They are both absolutely beautiful. I don't buy a lot of jerseys anymore but these are worth it. I've worn the Filagree Wheels but I haven't worn the Flourishes yet. Interestingly, I ordered a medium in both and they both fit equally great with no problems in cut difference, bottom elastic, shoulders, or the sleeves. I'm lucky I guess.
I saw the watercolor jersey in person when it came in (I was picking up my other two jerseys!) and it's quite pretty!
I am also the proud owner of both the Filigree Wheels jersey and the She Loves Hills jersey and they are both beautiful. I got them both in a large and exept for the arm openings, they fit me pretty much the same as the medium in the Flourishes jersey did (which I returned).
The elastic at the bottom of the Filigree Wheels is actually not bad. I was afraid that my generous 'pear' figure would make it ride up too much, but so far, that's not the case. I think it helps that it's not a super long jersey like one of my other elasticsized ones, so it hits in the right place (and not low on the hips). I have not worn either jersey for a ride yet as my weekend was stolen away from me by a house that needed painting. :(
When I do, I'll try to get my H to take some photos. :)
I received my Flourishes jersey yesterday, and it fits wonderfully (I got a medium and am the same measurements as Susan). I love the fit and the deep pockets. Looks great and feels great. I also received some new shorts and some socks. It's been a few years since I bought a new pair of shorts, and I was informed my my BF (on a group ride, no less!) that the shorts I was wearing had gotten just a bit too thin for polite company. :eek:
I nabbed the Flourishes and the She Loves Hills jerseys, thinking---ha!---that I would keep one, send one back. No way! I'm keeping them BOTH! :D
I got my Biciclista watercolor jersey today. It is GORGEOUS. It really is.
so what do we have to do to get you to SHOW US?
(sigh, you got yours before I got mine)
Chances are [Johnny Mathis sings in the background] you'll have to wait till after STP. Am in focused packing mode. By then, probably someone else will have been able to post it in all its glory.
Well, I finally hit a home run with the She Loves Hills Jersey. Its funny, at first I thought I'd base my decison on what to order on the design, but the designs are ALL SO AMAZING, in the end it came down to fit, at least for me.
What worked for me with the She Loves Hills, is that while the M fit me in width like the Flourishes and Filagree S did, it gave me a little more length which I needed, and it had a more traditional length sleeve without elastic. I just detest capped and/or elasiticized sleeves. In fact, the M She Loves Hills is quite slim fitting, whereas the other 2 styles in medium looked too loose and boxy on me. My body type is broad shoulders, well endowed boobage, but slim waist and hips (kind of V shaped). As soon as I saw it on model Susan, I knew it would work for me. Now, I know I am being picky here, and while I was willing to spend this much money on a jersey, in part to thank Susan for providing this site for us, in order for me to spend so much on any item of clothing, I have to really love it.
Tomorrow is our "Is this the Last Hill" club ride, we start in Bourne Texas and go into the Texas Hill Country to Comfort, Centerpoint, Waring and back to Bourne. Just when you have had enough, there are 3 climbs right at the end to get back into Bourne. So, it will be an appropriate inaugural ride. I'll try to get someone to snap my picture, but if only guys show up it may not happen.
I will also add that the green is even prettier in real life than in the pic. Very bright, so while not 'fluroescent', I think it will be visible in traffic, yet the jersey is light colored enough to stay cool in the texas heat.
I love Mimi's design as well, but I know I don't look good in that Canari style, so I had to take a pass. But, I think it was a good move on Susan's part to have them printed in so many different styles, to suit all body types and fit preferences.
My jersey came and fits perfectly! Sorry about the pose. Not very photogenic. But you get the idea. The material has a lot of texture in it, makes it look more painterly
I thought they did a really wonderful job of reproducing the water color effect on that jersey. It's lovely.
Oh, it came out lovely Mimi!! I was put off by the so-called 'relaxed fit' in the descrption, but it doesn't look that relaxed at all on you. Are you wearing the small or medium? I actually voted Mimi's design as my first choice, but then hesitated about the style. I may have to reconsider.
I think think it would be great if the gals at TE did a photo shoot of all of them modeling different jerseys, and then posted info on sizes, etc. There should also be a special link at the TE website to these.
I am wearing a medium. I never wear small women's...
The jersey looks wonderful Mimi! you should be terribly proud. :)
in the interests of science, here is the other jersey photo. I cut my head off, sorry, i couldn't stand it. lol
he took the picture while i was still preparing to pose. but it shows the jersey well enough.
Nice jersey, Mimi!
Ooo... I love these pics of the water-color jersey. Thx for sharing! Well, I already own the yello wheels team cut, and She Loves Hills... but I might have to add this one. Like Trisk, I was not sure I wanted relaxed fit. But, I think it looks a bit more fitted than I would have expected.
OH, btw... did our coupons get issued yet for multiple jersey purchases yet? I was camping without a pc and am catching up my in-box. Don't think I saw a TE coupon... didn't want to accidently delete it.
Maybe the coupon can go towards a third jersey lol.
Sigh, I wish I had a waist that went *in*. I've got an outie:(. Those jerseys look great on you guys!
hey! You're wearing my jersey. And it DOES look really good on you.
Mimi, I got the ultimate compliment on this jersey yesterday, from a shirtless kid on a fixie (Said, "I really like that jersey!"---local art major, I'm guessing). Just thought you'd like to know!
The jerseys are really gorgeous, but any thoughts about having them sleeveless? I don't like sleeved jerseys... i think coz it reminds me of my fat arms.

Poo..I'll have to set a reminder on my calendar :( Is there any way that overseas folks can email a request about a flourishes jersey?? :(
Please don't run out of 'She Loves Hills' until I lose that last half kilo and ... um... what was that other pesky thing I have to do first :rolleyes:... oh I know, find a job :(.
Good to hear they're proving popular :D
I rode the Oregon Bike Ride last week. Jeff got some great shots of me in the new Filigree Wheels jersey. I loved wearing it, and it looks stunning with the Sugoi RS Shorts in black/white. FYI for fit info - I'm wearing the small in this jersey. Current measurements are 35(:eek:)-27.5-37.5.
Here's a shot of me in the She Loves Hills Jersey. It's not a great picture, but it's the best I've got. :o Again, as a fit FYI, I'm wearing the medium in this jersey.
Thanks, Susan. Great pictures and the relative sizes really help!!
Wow, you've gotten tiny Susan! Good for you.
Veronica
PS - less boobage makes running easier. :cool:
It's 'she loves hills' and it's beautiful :D Congratulations to Urlea and the team at TE.
