One of my biggest disappointments was my Ride the Rockies jersey. Part of the ride fee includes the jersey. Only men's sizes were available. I had a discussion with the organizer who said the men's xs was sure to fit me and it just wasn't feasible to offer a woman's cut. The jersey could have been a dress. It came down to my knees, the sleeves were past my elbows and the shoulders hit mid arm. I wound up giving the jersey to my bike shop. The next year the ride offered women's cut in the jersey.
I envy woman who can chose between unisex or woman's specific clothing. I have no jersey's from any of the bike tours or rides I've been on because the cut of the jersey's, even woman's, are usually too big or xs is not offered. On tours I wear my generic Colorado or bike shop jersey's while other woman wear these neat jersey's from the tours they've been on.
I don't make it a habit to shop the kids dept but I found that girls Under Armour shorts fit me better than their women's as well as some REI girls clothing. It's getting so I can't find shoes in my size and kids are to wide. When I do find a shoe that fits I have to pay full price to assure that I get it. Fortunately, I'm retired so I don't need much in the way of casual clothes.
