Well, here's the thing...I am a seamstress. I've actually taught myself to sew on the lycra/polyester fabrics. but it's a bore. I'd much rather be spending my time riding. I've altered almost every jersey that I have. I've remade shorts.

but some things just don't lend themselves well to altering. Jeans are one example. it's very difficult to work with and never looks right because usually they are dyed/stonewashed after being made, so that the new seams don't look right.

a cycling jacket......too overwhelming.

You can't make things longer.....

I think that there is no perfect body. That's a myth!!!!! but there is such a thing as a fit body and that's what we got!!!

blah...blah...blah.....I'm being really negative....looking at the glass half empty, sorry, there are much worse things in the world.

thanks for letting me vent and for the suggestions on manufacturers.
