I hate jerseys with elastic in the hem - so I look for brands without the elastic. My usual brand of jerseys (for just this reason) is Shebeest. I believe they have some with elastic though. I think that Terry is another brand that makes some jerseys without elastic.

I can't help with the sizing question, but when I've had questions like that (most recently with shorts) I've called TE and they were able to provide answers. I found it very useful to talk to someone who could pull the 2 brands of shorts and give me an actual size comparison. Of course I was also planning to place an order with them...
