OK, after tearing through all my jerseys, I discovered I have a Voler jersey! Yay! It's too small right now. Yay! Who cares, it's a mens club cut and I like it, so I'm ordering that. Then I'll hang it up on the closet door as incentive to stick to the dang diet!!!
Still don't know wtf about the arm warmers tho...

I hemmed and hawed about size a good bit too. I was on the cusp between the Large and X-Large. Would have been definitely an X-large last year 20 pounds ago. Will never lose the broad shoulders though. But I bit the bullet and went for just the Large. Even back before babies and in excellent BMI range I was never smaller than a 12. Not tall - just a broad BROAD!
Glad to hear I'm not the only one who had a big debate.

Ditto on the debate, I'm pretty sure the 3X I ordered will be a bit big but I didn't want anything clingy (no sense enhancing the "michelin man" look
). I'm wondering though...can a jersey be taken-in?? I can't sew on a button but I know a good seamstress.

Sorry for my tardiness, but yes, they can be altered if'n too big...you need to find a good seamsperson that understands how it's supposed to fit. Ask around at the local bike shops; I'll bet they have someone "on file" if your seamstress is inexperienced. The side panel is a good place to nip & tuck.

Thanks Yellow! That's what I was hoping to hear. I almost skipped ordering one because since I started riding my bike again (all of a month now), I'm down 9lbs. so who knows what size I'll wear next month. Originally Posted by yellow

We also have a resident seamstress here on the board - Irulan, that can either help you or do it for you ( I think, sry Irulan if I just overstepped here).
Snap - I just got the email notice regarding the refund, do you or anyone else know: does that just get deposited back into my account?

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

If you paid out of a bank account, it should go back into the bank account. If you paid with a credit card, it should be credited on your account. Originally Posted by CorsairMac
