Wonder if Sky Yaeger is still part of it.

I bought quite a few Swobo short-sleeve wool jerseys (made in Fiji) a couple of years ago when they were on sale for $40 or so at BackCountryOutlet.com. They are very comfortable, but the jerseys aren't reinforced where the rear pockets are attached, so they quickly developed holes at the top of the pockets.
I got a very nice Joneswares wool jersey on eBay, but unfortunately they are no longer being made.

Besides Rapha, who else reinforces the attachment point of the rear pockets? I have a few other wool jerseys from Colomba that unfortunately do not have this (and you can see the stretching/stress).

Yep. Have 2 of these with holes at the pocket. I took to a local seamstress and had the reinforced. Now they are really great spring/fall jerseys.
