I was going to try that "consumer direct" Italy company too... La Passione?

house jerseys should be race cut and mid bicep at least on most people - I've got monkey arms and they hit the mid point for me.

Looks like nice clothing, similar to rapha?

For made in the USA, I actually find the prices pretty reasonable. That said, I have not idea if the quality is there. But if they are decent, 165 for US made bibs sounds pretty good actually.

+1 on the above. Saw the comment on longer sleeves and thought of my Twin Six Standard immediately.

That said, as another quality option in the range being discussed here, I am a big fan of Search and State:

Thanks for all the input!

I'll pick out a couple of those and give them a try. I'm more of a quality over quantity (or quality plus quantity..) and look for stuff that lasts a long time...I'd rather buy one pair of bibs that is top notch and last 5K mi than two pairs that are meh and last 2K mi ea...

Will report back when I get 'em and test 'em.

Thanks!

personally I think they are about the same quality as the Rapha core line - great for training and all around comfy but not the best of the best. definitely a step below the pro team gear.

better than Twin Six though, even TS's updated stuff. Search and State seems more along the lines of Rapha pro team but I've only ever held it in hand, never ridden on it.

love SAS but their sleeves are damn near cap sleeves compared to the mid-bicep Rapha stuff. and agreed that Twin Six stuff fits surprisingly well for the price.

I'm trying a jersey this year. The fabric has a pleasing open weave, the fit is good, with plenty of length in the back. I like the design, bright without being garish. Note that the front zipper is a little broader than say a rapha or assos. It breathes quite well, and is well made. I expect to use it often.

Btw, the ornot handlebar bag is really good.

Nice designs, terrible name. Ornot.

I like the looks. Was wondering if they were inspired by DuranDuran album covers or old broadcast TV test patterns, when I saw this photo of a guy shoving an old Sanyo stereo cassette recorder* into his feed pocket; that's wonderful! I approve of Neo-eighties styling.

FYI -

OrNot.com has a discount code today 6/10 for 20% off - "speedyweekend"

I ordered a full kit (jersey/bibs/socks/base) - so we'll see how I get on with it in a few weeks.

Anybody have a discount code (or knowledge of one) for Ornot? Was thinking of giving one of those jersey's a spin.

Subscribe to their list and they'll probably kick you one - or at least you'll get notified if/when..

The jerseys are very lightweight & stretchy, and have the longest sleeves of anything that I own, and I like the low collar - I find them really comfortable. The bibs have a decent amount of compression, Rapha classics feel like yoga pants in comparison The straps could be a little wider, but not a deal breaker for me. Good socks, too. I'm a fan of their designs, and I usually get compliments/questions when I wear the kits on rides.

All that + made in the USA = shut up and take my money!

I think they have a discount code if you sign up for their email list.

They are nice people too. I bought one of their jerseys on another website that had them on sale. The jersey was a bit too big, but the merchant didn't have the smaller size. I contacted Ornot and they told me to return it and gave me a code to buy it for the same price directly from them. I also crashed wearing their bibs and they gave me 50% off for a replacement.
