Good point and I am someone who has usually worn the jerseys of the teams that I have raced for. I just think it's funny that some people to want to wear kits that would have made Liberace think twice about donning.

Lot of people here forget that Primal Wear exists.

Plenty of gear out there for those who say "You know what? I don't care about aesthetics and want to look like Ray Charles dressed me."

Piling another +1 on the Ornot bandwagon. The quality is great and the fit is excellent. Note that they've switched sizing on their bibs this year to match the house sizing on their jerseys. I had to size down as a result. 5'10 155lbs and medium in most non-Italian brands (rapha, pearl, etc) and I'm a small in their house jersey and bibs. It's race snug but that's how I like it. Quality is much better than Voler but not equal with Rapha IMO.

Will also second ornot customer service- they're easy to work with, have crash replacement discounts and free returns for orders. They throw out discounts somewhat regularly for 15%, so I wouldn't buy until you can at least apply one of those (think you can get it for subscribing on their site)

I don't like that particular jersey, it's ugly, but generally speaking I don't see how you can look back on cycling apparel ten years ago and conclude that this isn't an improvement.
c'mon, Sandy. You're telling me that this wasn't the historic zenith of cycling style? I think you were too young to have to live through this era.

I stand 250,000% corrected. Where can I order ten?

Just got a race cut Ornot cut from my local bike shop and I have never worn anything like it. I have tried it all, and I will dump my ASSOS and Rapha gear to fund more Ornot.

I was going to try that "consumer direct" Italy company too... La Passione?
A friend who is about 5'9" 145 lbs. and wears mainly Rapha bibs loves the La Passione bibs. They look well made to me. I've never tried them.

I wear the club jersey maker of the year, whatever we choose. Right now it's Pactimo, but we've used Voler and VOMax among others. Jersey fit isn't super important to me, but bib comfort is paramount. I recently switched to Assos T7 Equipe, and I'm stocking up. For $30 more than the club bibs, it's a no brainer. I'll keep supporting the club with jerseys and such but no more bibs.

Just ordered a full kit and am looking forward to testing it out. Made in the USA and the subtle design aesthetic worked for me.

The guy on the Felt is Matt, the owner of Ornot. Nice kid, buy his clothes!
