Brooks L'Eroica Jersey

Anyone have any sizing experience with the Brooks wool L'eroica jersey?

To quote Chris Rock, "if I could afford it!"

I find that it fits similarly to other jerseys I have. I normally wear size L in most jerseys (Assos, Capo, etc.) and the large Brooks jersey fits along the same lines, although if you want it looser, order a size larger.

Thanx for the response...I was hoping an XL would fit. I wear a L in almost everything, never tried Assos...some of the Castelli Ls are too tight...Campy I am borderline L/XL (unless full race=XL).

I assume these are a bit of a looser fit, but I thought I had read somewhere that they were more of a euro/Italian sizing as well.

Oh well...

The large I have is 21" pit-to-pit, and 27" from collar to the bottom hem in back. So it's nominally larger than other jerseys like Assos, etc. in size L, but because the fabric isn't as stretchy, it fits closer that it measures, if that makes sense. As another point of reference, I have some Wabi Woolen jerseys in size L, and they are the same width pit-to-pit as the Brooks jersey, but a little longer in the body.

if this is the jersey in question, i have no idea on sizing, but it is damned sweet.

I'm 5'10" 170lbs. Not sure of my chest measurement, but I typically wear a 42 or 44 jacket deepening on the cut.
