Dan, If you're still curious check out a jersey comparison I did a few years ago with Torm, Rapha and (defunct) Road Holland:

Also, Earth Wind Rider and Woolistic are top tier if you want anything more classic and 100% wool.

Thanks Steve - I actually have one Torm jersey and really like it...thought it definitely is not summer-weight...

[Steve in SLO]

Certainly not where you live, but they work a treat for our annual summer Oregon coast trip.

Great suggestions, I've heard of Kucharik before but I'll check these others out. Bought a few I'll fitting wool jerseys from Backcountry so need a change

[pdonk]

I have a merino jersey from donkey label. I bought it in the same size as their regular jerseys, my suggestion if looking at them is to size down, they have a significant amount of stretch in them. I have moved on from DL for jerseys as this year's patterns don't do much for me.

For synthetic jerseys, I have switched to eliel Rincon jersey. It is a super slim race cut fee that fits horribly when standing around, but in a riding position are great. By fit horribly when standing around, I mean they bind on the arm pits when your arms are by your side, but when you extend your arms forward, the binding goes away.


I am in the market for a few more jerseys and bibs, not feeling my work's charity ride gear so much, even though it is in great condition and fits well. It is from biemme.

Hasn't EWR been out of business for at least five years?

[Steve in SLO]

Yeah, looking around on Google this morning and I think you are right.
Too bad...they made nice stuff.

[roguedog]

Yeah. I have one EWR jersey and I love it for my fall/winter commute. Looks good off the bike. Looked for others and .. gone.

The Isadore stuff looks good. May have to try some. I like the low key branding and the fact they have products across the spectrum of rides/riders. From race to city. I kinda dig the tennies w/ the boa.
