Jerseys

[CATWOMAN]

Hey ladies,
Do any of you know of a particular brand of jersey that runs long in the torso? I really like fun jerseys like the leopard print from Shebeast, but they run really short. I have one from Terry that is OK, but I'd like it just a bit longer.

I vote Castelli! A bit expensive, definitely, but I've noticed that they consistantly seem to provide jerseys that are on the longer side.

I second on Castelli. I'm long-torsoed as well (Pearl Izumi jerseys look like half shirts on me), and the Castellis fit great. If you look around you can sometimes find them on sale.

Note that they do run small though. I would normally wear a size small (I'm about a 4), but I wear a medium in my Castelli jerseys.

+3 on Castelli (I would note that I find them to run pretty true to size, not small, but I'm an A-cup, so I'm sure that makes a difference). Sportful, which is owned by Castelli, usually has a longer cut too.

I would also suggest Gore. Beautifully cut, nicely finished and plenty of torso length.

i borrowed my husbands jersey one day, Scody is the maker

i have never looked back as i cant stand the "ride up", these scody jerseys in the mens section are brilliant and last for years, im the 3rd owner of one atm and its still going strong!

i couldnt resist and bought a girly one for winter, im not impressed as it isnt as long in the body as the mens.

as a athletic size 14/16 (with boobs!) i wear a size Medium in mens and love the fit they come down low on the hips and stay put.

I just bought, and rode in today, the Cannondale that's listed on this site. It is really long in the torso and will be my fav jersey so far. I also bought and have to return a Sheila Moon, which is way too short- the back pockets are halfway up my back.

How about a long torso sleeveless without a zipper? The shebeest has one but it is very short on me. I like the cut other that the shortness. Does anyone know of a better one? I think it's short on me due to me being a little top heavy.

Oops, another one long enough. I also bought the smartwool sleeveless listed on this site (actually, I was gonna return it and so I had ordered the Cannondale but then I decided to keep the smartwool also; bad bad me). I now love the smartwool most of all.
