    Most excellent Yvonne
    I have thought about doing that over here for a while - but NZ is such a small country...

    Your best bet is the Terry website (terrybicycles.com). They carry plus size clothing. The sizes are very generous. Also, Team Borah carries plus size women's jerseys. The nice thing about both manufacturers is that they have loose hems (ie no elastic in the waist band) so the jersey is more comfortable. If you are buying men's jerseys make sure you purchase a "club fit" which is looser, less form fitting than a race fit. I tend to buy men's jerseys just 'cause they are longer than women's. I'm tall and hate for the jersey not to at least cover some of my butt. You also don't really need to buy cycling jerseys. Any sports style top with wicking material will work. Also look at mountain biking jerseys, they run very loose compare to road jerseys.

    Hurrah for you, Yvonne! But hurry or I may not be an XL customer when your line comes out (dream, dream.)

    Could we have a "your ideal jersey design thread"? That would be a fun & creative. But I'm a computer primitive (using an ancient iMac carved from t-rex skull with seashell keyboard) so how could we do the graphics?

    It's also difficult to find "talls!"

    Yvonne,

    Remember to make your jerseys in XS, too for us short/petite people. Many companies only make smalls. Never put any elastic anywhere!!!!!
