    Jerseys for long-torsos?

    I have a long torso (I'm actually proportionate height-wise, but I'm 5' 7" and have a thin frame so when something fits widthwise it tends to be a bit short on me). I'm trying to find jerseys that hit a little lower than my waist, like maybe the top of the hip? Does anyone have any recommendations of longer jerseys (particular brands that are longer than others, brands that make "tall" sized jerseys, etc.)?

    Thanks in advance.

    I'm 5'8" and long torsoed.

    I've had good luck with all things Ibex, and am pleasantly surprised by how long the torso and sleeves are on the 2 Shebeests I just got.

    Long torsos

    I'm 5'7 and long(er) torso'd. In addition to the above suggestions (all good), look for jerseys with 4-way stretch and especially jerseys with 4-way stretch fabric and a silicon hem gripper. Typically this means that they're cut trimmer (anticipating a stretch-to-fit silhouette) and also they'll stay put down below your navel. Example: http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=30451

    This style of jersey from Terry runs long in my opinion: http://www.terrybicycles.com/detail....1957&c=Apparel

    It's a nice jersey too!
