Amici Veloci - The 2007 Order Thread

[Velobambina]

For the record, I also wear a medium. I'm 5'5", 155 pounds and I have boobs. God, I can't believe I said that.

Quit bragging, you wench!!! LOL

Hey, you're welcome to a few of those pounds.

I'm so confused.
I can make decisions for others but I can't make them for myself.
That is a good looking jersey.

[jobob]

OK, I'll make it for you - you NEED an AV jersey.

[DrBadger]

for those of you with the vest... does it have elastic along the bottom like the jacket does?

Thanks!

[jobob]

Yep, the vest and the jacket have the dreaded elastic.

[SadieKate]

I've taken the icky elastic out of all but the thermal jacket and it ends up looking nicely tailored.

Nice avatar, Miss Jobob!

SadieKate, I know that you are about to head out of town, but do you have mediums in everything? I just ask since you and I are almost the exact same size (me: 5'3, 139 lbs, on my way to 135, slightly more generous boobage at 32 DD)

SOOOO looking forward to this new order!

Thanks again all for organizing!

In case SK doesn't get to answer ...

PAB, you might want to consider a large, check out slinkedog's comments in the long post snap put up above.

What jersey size do you ordinarily wear?

[DrBadger]

Woops... sorry, I had even read that post before

I have both medium and large jerseys, some of the large ones are now too big (like the one I was wearing yesterday). I generally wear a S or M in tops, but I am a petite on top, so most sized tops are 8 petite.

Hmmm.... decisions, decisions... I think that I am going to be in that crazy middle ground...don't like things too tight, but not too big just like Goldilocks! I guess I could always buy 2 of each and sell the other one here on TE... it would be sure to go quickly

[SadieKate]

I'd barely make it in a size 8 petite top. I can't believe I'm posting this but . . . in a standard compression type sports bra my bust measurement is 37". Bear in mind fit-wise that I also have broad shoulders and the arms to go with them. The women's club in medium and the race fits very snugly on me.

A few less peppermint mochas would be in order.

[crazycanuck]

Wahooooooey! I need an AV joisey..

I have to ask about the pockets though. I can't reach them in my present AV (AV my arx) med club cut on and am wondering if i would be better off with a large?

Short arsed crazyc reporting for duty!

That's actually a good way to do it, if you can spare the cash for two. I'm pretty sure you can sell off the other one very easily.

That's exactly what I'm doing for my Randonneurs of China jersey, since it has raglan sleeves & is by a different manufacturer so I have nary a clue how it will fit me, so I ordered a medium & a large, with the assumption I could sell one off at some point.

And it will help us make the next level of order for the cheeper jeresys

CC - you might be best placed to help me with sizing advice here, but others views welcome too

I am a Australian size 12 (well probably a 14 at the moment but I'm hoping thats just winter weight) and a NZ bra size 14 D (for all you other ladies thats 5'2", 130 ish pounds and a 36 D bra - I have no idea how your american sizes work) - I'm thinking I might need a large in the womens club cut - what do you think?

I thought about getting one last year but it was just a bit pricey - with the NZ dollar at an all time high against the USD now I have less reasons for putting it off
