    is it only posh stuff you're after?


    Spesh jeresys fit well on a thin torso, the sleeves are very short so they dont flap around

    If the SS jersey doesn't cling very well then you have the wrong size! Assos sizing is very specific.

    this is confusing. that my assos intermediate evo jersey large size fits perfectly. so i should have gone for a medium for the assos ss uno

    try the stuff at prenda's they have a sanitini exclusive to them its white and thin fit! i have the same problem! its long too so i can get a medium but it still has the length for someone skinny and tall like myself! prendas ciclisimo (google it)

    i have the classic and the lightweight both M and the lightweight is more of a racefit. Have you had a look at the high end Assos jersey, not the Uno but the one above.

    assos measurement has me confused. im 5ft 10" and 34" chest. so rapha small would suit me but then i dont know if length would be alright.

    I am same height and Rapha small fits me perfectly and is the right length. Last year it was medium but they have reviewed their sizing. The classic and the club both fit the same.
