They have the sales figures to guide them I guess, but I get so many comments about my favourite jersey (black, which I like) that there seems to be a market for stronger designs, which made the name of both PW and Northwave. Another gripe - the rarity of full zips. There's just no jerseys around that I want at the moment.
I noticed that. The ones on TE (and other places, I'm not singling out TE!) this year are the "meh" ones (and the sparrow! I like the sparrow!), and there are some cooler ones on the website. Is is based on the idea that this is what sells based on the sales of other manufacturer's stuff?

I do actually have a full-zip PW jersey...I wouldn't be able to get in or out of it otherwise!

Catrin--PW is definitely cut small in the chest, even the short-sleeved ones. By waist/hip measurements, I need a M, but I do have to go up a size to accommodate the boobs, and I'm a B-cup!
