Disappointing Primal Wear designs

[Owlie]

But I sometimes wonder whether it's the buyers for retailers like TE that dictate this stuff. You can sometimes find interesting designs on the manufacturer's website but the retailers don't buy in those designs, so it's all swirls, pink and fussy or dull designs. 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!

I guess that just leaves me out - I am "between" a C and D cup - and that doesn't seem to be changing much as I lose weight - I've gone from a 38 to a 36, but the cup just isn't changing...Oh well, their designs aren't so cool this year anyway.

I will admit that I have relatively broad shoulders and ribcage. Even then, my "race cut" PW jersey fits fine there. It's tight enough in the chest that I think twice about wearing it in public!

That sucks! I am a D bust and my Hey Lady fits great. So not only have they gone boring but they have gone small and skinny as well!

This thread reminds me - a friend lost her brand new phone down a portable toilet last week. You guessed it - partial-zip jersey and bibs.

I dunno. There must be be some that are cut a bit boxier than others, because I have XL jerseys from them which are loose everywhere, including the chest. (Those I can understand, because my bust measurement is on the low end of XL) I have a L that is a relatively relaxed fit, and another L that's more fitted. Then there's the race cut jersey.
