    Now available for purchase!

    The flourishes and filigree wheels jerseys are now up on the website!

    See: http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodTE_601.html for filigree wheels. This is the one you'll want if you absolutely must have a full zip and elasticized waist. It's the only one of the 4 that has these features. Fit note: I'm right on the small/medium border of the size chart. Both sizes looked good on me. So if you find yourself on the border between sizes, use your own personal fit preference as a guideline to decising whether to go up or down. If you are solidly in the middle of a size, then that size should properly fit you as a semi-fit/athletic silhouette.


    http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodTE_602.html for flourishes. It's a club cut (raglan, semi-relax, 3/4 zip, no elastic at waist). She Loves Hills will have a similar cut (but different vendor). Fit note: Again, I'm right on the border line between the size small and medium. This is a semi relax fit. I could probably go either way, but preferred the way the small draped on me better than the medium. So, if you're between sizes like I am, and are wavering I think the smaller size is more likely to work for you.

    Mimi's watercolor jersey will be a relaxed fit, in XS-4X. If you're wanting a relaxed fit, or need the plus size, you'll want to wait for that one.

    Hard to say. This first run is 100 units in Filigree Wheels and 50 units in Flourishes. If they are a hit, we'll do another run. If they are not a hit, then we won't reprint them.

    So, I guess time will tell!

    Wow, they both look amazing!

    Susan - I assume that you'll be regularly sporting the filigree wheels one since it matches your road bike so beautifully?

    I don't regularly wear jerseys when riding, so it's been years since I purchased any. These jerseys are so amazing I may have to amend that practice. I can't wait to see how the others turned out.

    I just ordered the Flourishes, because I know the Voler club cut x small fits me perfectly. I really wanted the other one, but boo-hoo on the elastic.

    No more shopping for me. I've replaced all of the shorts and jerseys that got thrown out!

    There were enough people in favor of a racier cut with full zip and elastic waist that we simply had to do one in that style. We chose the design with the most "team look" to it to do in that cut.

    I'm glad you like the Flourishes! It's even prettier in person.

    The elastic nixed my purchase of Urlea's design, too.

    Wow, Susan, they look amazing! I also love that both are really bright colors for visiblity, etc. I will be honest, I don't usually spend this much on a jersey but they look so great and support this great site, so I am thinking to get both of them!

    Can I assume they carry the same return policies as your other merchandise if we don't like the fit (or if we want to order a couple sizes/styles and keep only what works best).

    How about pics of you and the TE staff modeling them (maybe with captions like, I usually wear a PI M or shebeest S, and here I am in a S...............). Maybe that will help us decide what size to order.

    I have a team terry long sleeve jersey by voler that fits well in S, but does anyone know if that is a club or race cut?

    Just received the jerseys and they are beautiful! Can't wait to wear them! I ordered a large in each one because I'm about 15 lbs heavier than Susan (based on our weight loss challenge numbers) and couldn't imagine wearing close to the same size. I'm right on the border with the filigree--perhaps a medium could work, but for right now the large seems OK. The "Flourishes" is definitely too big, so I'll need to return for the smaller size. I shoulda paid more attention to the fit note. No issues at all with the elastic on Filigree--it seems very comfortable.
