Trashy Cat Sunflower Review

[Pedal Wench]

I have the same sunflower jersey in purple, and I've washed it quite a few times (gentle cycle, woolite) with no problems. I have a few others of theirs: sleeveless signature, sleeveless solid in blue and in black, the Wild Cat II leopard one, long sleeve solid in blue and in black - oy - I better stop before I look pathetic - but anyway, they've held up okay with gentle machine washing. But, I don't use the dryer - I drape them over my sofa to dry!

Maybe just bad luck, then. I managed to get the tiny thread pulled through to the back, and glued down.

I _wish_ I had a dryer to not dry them in- but it died a couple years ago (or actually, its outlet did) and hasn't been fixed, or really missed, for that matter.

I've got a bunch of Shebeast jerseys, that seems to be what I love the most.

Now, after a couple more washings on delicate, there's some weird pilling going on on one leg. I just don't think the fabric is tough enough, which is a shame, since I love the outfit and the fit and everything...

We had a jersey snag in the wash once (on delicate) so we've started washing them in one of those mesh bags. We've never had another snag. I've never had shorts do that, though.

Happy washing...

I've never tried their shorts. The model on the Trashy Cat webpage is so silly-skinny that I'm intimidated to even try!

That's what I thought at first, too, but they got good reviews on here, and the satin shorts won that Editor's Choice award for Bicycling magazine or whatever, so when they went on sale, I thought I'd try them. And I love everything about them, except how the fabric is holding up. I'm 5'2", 155 pounds- certainly nothing like their model...Unfortunately, most of the size Lg are out of stock.

I think what I like is they are just _different_ from solid black. It's kind of cool to have matching shorts and jersey.

Nanci,

I just got back from a ride, wearing my Trashy Cat signature series jersey. Guess what? Loose threads - right on the hem on the bottom. It's not really the hem holding everything together, but the one above that. Not sure what it's called, but it's coming undone. I have about 6 of their jerseys, so I hope this is a one-time incident!
