Since my decade-long hiatus, I'm no longer sure of what brands of cycling clothing are considered better quality. Of course it's about finding what fits me best, but in terms of lasting, good quality... what brands have that reputation now? Back when I rode, I wore mostly Trek and Sugoi shorts and bibs and liked them for their grip (around the thighs) and that they held their shape even after years of use. The chamois was actual chamois. Can you even get that anymore, or is it all synthetic padding? What are some brands I should be looking at now?

As for jerseys... I don't even know if they make these anymore, but for regular, daily rides, I really liked cotton blend jerseys, not the polyester ones. Do they still make them, and if so, what brands do so? Any other thoughts on jerseys?

Sorry for such basic questions, but I feel that I'm back at square one and need lots of help. TIA!!
