Jiffer,

I am also 5'9" and have the same problem with jerseys - I have tried men's small jerseys and they are "OK" - but I finally found one that fit -the Terry jersey's - they are long enough - especially the touring jersey - a medium is a generouos cut - I think it will work for you. Well worth the money!!

As much as I love shebeast - they are just way too short in the torso for me - I have a few sleeveless larges that I tolerate - but am not as comfortable in as my Terry's. I have also found Voler to cut a nice jersey.

Hope this helps.
