I'm tall. Best womens jerseys for me?

[Dannielle]

No I haven't tried TE yet. I guess I'm kinda hesitant to buy online since I've been burned on length so many times (I'm 5'11" and barely fitting into an XL). I can usually find men's jerseys in the size I need on sale and I know they'll be long enough. I'll probably feel like experimenting more when I finally get down to a weight I plan to maintain. One day I'll get my cute pink jersey lol.

Ned Overend's company, Boure', in Colorado - does custom fit cycling clothes. Maybe not pink, but it doesn't hurt to ask! http://www.boure.com/customfit.html Tokie

Although this thread is fairly stale, for what it's worth, I'll add this:

I find a good fit in more euro brands than US brands. For example, Pearl Izumi, which used to fit me perfectly back in the 1990's, is now far too short. On the other hand, some Louis Garneau and even Castelli fit me well -- but it's hit or miss. The Castelli jackets fit perfectly in a M, but the jersey sizes are all over the place.

For reference, I'm 5'11", and medium build (I usually wear a 6 or 8 in street clothing, but sometimes go up to a 10 in designer lines).

It's really wierd how womens' clothing has shrunk in the US. This definitely isn't the case in Europe (French clothing remains short, like the French themselves, but UK, German, Nordic designers all fit me like custom clothing) -- but who can afford to go to europe to do their shopping?

I use this brand too. really few things will be convenient for tall people. For myself, I found a brand Louis Garneau. This is not what I dreamed about, but very convenient Look at amazon.com for example here https://www.amazon.com/Louis-Garneau...AR4?th=1&psc=1 or

Agreed, I really like the euro brands for biking clothing and gear. I plan on biking and camping along the way. After looking at this checklist I decided a few bike extra tall bike jerseys like the Louis Garneau ones would be good for my adventure.
