I'd say a zippy pocket is a must-have feature in the next batch, even if it adds a few quid. It's the only thing I would change about the one I've received, having taken it for its first ride today.
I can order variations as long as there are at least five of each. If others are also keen on the mini pocket (£2.77 extra) please update this on the wiki thread.

OK, I'll place the order next Monday 29th September, which should mean I receive them around the 20th October, the Monday before the PH Sportive at Silverstone.

Sunday 28th September is the cut-off date for getting your order in. To speed things up I'll ask for payments and addresses after the order has been placed.

Assuming they're a similar fit/size to the recent summer jersey, I've ordered one size larger. The 7 is just a bit too close fitting - for now.

Same question- the XL? summer that I ordered is boyband- it fits but is tight. I imagine the winter is a slightly more relaxed fit to allow for something underneath? Or.....should I order XXL?
I'm 88 kgs, 5' 10", with moobs a 42" chest. The 7 summer jersey is boyband-close fit so that can stay in the cupboard until I've lost a load of weight. Lengthwise it's perfect.

I've gone for the next one up in the winter jersey. I'm sure it will be a close fit but that's how it should be.

The winter jersey is identically cut to the summer pro-cut jersey.

Maybe we could add to the wiki with height/weight/chest and sizes order with a summary of fit so that future first time buyers get a nice easy way to find a match for their size/shape rather than having to search the thread?

Kind of like:

5'11" - 12st 5lb - 42" - 7 - Perfect fit, no flapping in the wind and beer belly barely visible

That's a good idea. Best to have a separate wiki and link to it in the main wiki for each order. That way we can keep adding to it and it never gets lost in any one order.

We have reached the minimum for having a variation with mini pockets so this will happen for those who want it.

Just out of interest, how are you all using them? Am I missing a trick?

Yes. I'll be emailing with order and payment details next Monday and placing the order that day. The supplier is happy for me to pay them later that week so as long as people are true to their word and aren't going to start backing out after the order is placed then I'm happy to stick my neck out a little bit.

I would like appreciate assistance with the sizing please.

6'1" , 41" chest and 76kg.

I find sizing of things difficult and would like to take an educated gamble.

Well, I'm 6'4", 42" chest and 80kg, so probably not a bad comparison. For me, the chest was the snuggest part of the size 7 jersey. The mid-section and neck were a little too loose, IMO, for a race-cut jersey. I'd be tempted to go to a size 6 for a summer jersey next time but I will probably stick with a 7 for the winter jersey, thinking that I'll have a base layer underneath too.

In your position I'd choose a size 6, expecting it to be a bit snug around the chest, but then I like my jerseys to be very form-fitting. Others may prefer a 7.

There's a wiki thread here where you can add your order. It also has details of the sizing from the manufacturer. This order is exclusively 'pro-cut', which is offered in many more sizes than the traditional S/M/L/XL etc. This should help you get a better fit.

I'm 6'2" 40" chest (in my suit size) and 70kg, took a 6 in the procut SS Jersey, I could pour myself into a 5 but it'd be a skinsuit and the 6 has room for a baselayer for me.

Just got back off a week away to find a nice new cycling top on my door mat. Cheers Gruffy.
Shame the rucksack covered it on its inaugural ride to work this morning.

Now just got to figure out the sizing for my new long sleeve one...

It's where I keep my phone, money and door key. The only 3 things I really don't want to lose.
