Be interested to know what your favorite jersey is. The one when you open the wardrobe, you pick most of the time.

With me I would say its the Assos Equipe jersey. Just ticks all the rights boxes. Feels nice, great fit and well made. I also like the little security pocket at the rear and lovely deep rear pockets. :)

    Random between Assos Equipe in black or Rapha Classic in black. Both fit really well, both have the little security pocket, both are functionally great, well made. Most importantly, both look (IMO) brill.

    Foska flags saltire.

    Had it for 5 years, washes well, wears well, comfy, practical, forgiving of middle aged spread. Wore it on the Bealech, Alpe, Galibier, Ventoux, various Sportives and long tours. It is just the one I reach for first.

    Foska London A to Z

    Was wearing at the weekend with two mates who were both wearing the Foska Marmite "Hate Jams" jerseys.

    People cheered and waved at them!

    This is my favourite jersey:

    3590405800_89b83cd230_s.jpg

    Unfortunately, it was stolen from my car whilst on holiday in France last year. I've tried
    Ebay, Amazon, Primal Wear and various cycling newsgroups to find a replacement,
    without success.

    I like my Foska "body by Duff Beer" with nice "binge resposibly" tagline. I am impressed by the Foska range actually

    For winter it's my Karrimor Kalahari top. It's warm and has a good range of zipped pockets. I've had it over 20 years and it's still going strong but it's irreplaceable.

    For summer it's toss up between my club top and the 'New Zealand First to the sun 2000' jersey I bought on a NZ tour in 1999.

    Cycling jerseys seem to last forever, it's only shorts that seem to wear out - sometimes embarrassingly :)

    I've got a wardrobe full of jerseys collected over the years, but my favourite is the Bontrager I bought last Saturday. It has the luxury of a three quarter length zip, which is absolute bliss when tackling long climbs in the hot weather.

    I dont have many but the one a do like to go for ( use to hate wearing it ), is a shocking pink Evans one that I got when they sponsored us ( was in the TA at the time )to ride a round your battle honors in France and Belgium , with full cycling kit ( tops and shorts ).

    6 bikes that would have been about £600 at the time but its great when some driver starts to say sorry I did not see you and stops in mid sentence :wink:

    Few years old now but still nice to wear.

    My Marmotte jersey. I know, it's a bit naff, but it's a nice design and I earned it. It also stops any bike snobs looking down on me as they go past :wink:

    Well you know what I mean, the 'event t-shirt' . I've done such and such an event, look at me, aren't I good. But, it's actually a really nice jersey.

    I think it's okay as long as you rode the event. It's not like you were wearing the maglia rosa from the Giro or something.

    Thats not a great pic as was a working design, but it looks awesome on the road with matching shorts.

    2008 CSC jersey. Got it from the bike shop in Bourg d'Oisans a few days before Carlos did his stuff on the Alpe.

    Didn't like it much at the start of year, but after seeing it more closely I like the way the black on it is made up from the riders signatures, kinda represents what makes up the team.

    And it's a pretty good jersey too. Craft clothing is good stuff, haven't tried their shorts yet, but like everything else of their's I've tried (including the matching CSC socks...)
