Ornot Clothing Fit

[charliedid]

Hi all,

Just received a couple new pieces (house vest and LW LS jersey) and I am a bit surprised at how snug (race fit) these pieces are. I have an older jacket and SS jersey that are size L and they fit very differently. Granted I am a bit chubby ( I'm still a skinny guy) and can't fathom ordering an XL as it seems absurd to me.

Anybody have any thoughts on this? I reached out to them for some actual dimensions to see if it makes sense. Sleeves (generous in length really) and body length feel right it's just the "girth" that I am after.

Am I just fat? :eek::confused:;)

The fit for ornot clothing has developed a lot in the last few years.

House jerseys, vests and jackets have a much more slim, performance fit, while the work jerseys and casual t's are more generous

I've been wearing ornot consistently for about five years and while I still wear the same sizes, things have slimmed and tapered mostly all around. I like that. The vest is the biggest change I think, my original vest nearly hangs on me, while the new one is snug.

They are building a fit lookbook currently to give people real-world examples of fit. You can see examples on some product pages i.e. the last picture here (that's me) https://www.ornotbike.com/collections/mens-cycling-jerseys/products/work-jersey-obsidian. I believe covid interrupted much of that progress, unfortunately.

Thanks for this insight.

I may hold on to these for a few days to week just to see if it's not just me being bloated from quarantine slobbery. In theory these should be right but I was a bit surprised.

I've noticed the lookbook stuff and it's an okay idea. I still wish everyone posted actual dimensions.


Thanks!

Seriously!

Maybe I'm just on my period and sitting on 7 lbs of water :banana:

That would be great! I’ll pass that feedback on to them.

I purchased a pair of their thermal house bib shorts a couple of months ago. Per the sizing chart I should have easily fit into a small but there was no way that was happening (I am 5'9", 131#). They fit more like Giordana/Castelli. I returned them for a medium and all was good. I have only used them 1x but they seem pretty good. The biggest compliment is I didn't notice them.

I actually did #corona6

Diet starts tomorrow. Being stuck at home is not good on me.

It really is very nice clothing!

In this day and age if internet shopping we need to continue to make sizing decisions easier.

That said, maybe I need to own a scale so I can work from some real data ;-)

Not trying to pick on you, Charlie, but I'm always curious about these type of sizing statements, why don't manufacturers use "I have a 40" chest" or something?, I don't think weight corresponds. Are tape measures obsolete? Is it just a cycling thing? (yes, I understand the stretchiness makes pit to pit or similar clothing measurements difficult, but give us measurements of the people themselves..

I like Tenspeed Hero's "real world" fit guide: http://tenspeedhero.com/projects/mens-real-world-fit-guide/

Exactly like TSHero. In fact a friend is one of the models in that guide.

Cheers


Ever look a Patagonia's fit guide? haha every model is 6' and wearing a Medium...
