retro cycling jerseys

Hello All

Been looking at websites at loads of cool retro jerseys e.g. Solo

http://www.solocc.com/products.cfm?cat_id=1

tried a few out in Condor the other day, problem is that since I am not super slim (only a few pounds over weight by the way) they fit really badly. Either they are too tight in the tummy area and make me look ridiculous, or they are too big all over.

Anyone have experience of cool looking retro cycling jerseys that are a bit kinder on those of us carrying a few pounds? If I lose enough to wear the skinny ones that would be great, but I'd like something to wear in the meantime

I managed to get some older teams: Z, PDM, Carrera etc from eBay.
Don't know if they're retro enough for you?

I think he's looking for something wider at the bottom than the top

try Prendas they have loads but not sure on what sort of fit you are after.

Still waiting for the Aqua & Sappone leopard print one to come out, wish I had got on during that season. Saw a Seaco one today too which still looked pretty cool

The cruel true is that team replica roadie jerseys look best on thin people

If you are fat they look stupid

MTB jerseys are designed with a more flappy cut, maybe you should wear them instead

However when I started riding 50 miles a week+ I dropped 2 stone in 6 months and went from a 36" to 38" waist to a 34" waist. So just ride a bit, lay off the pies and wait a few months. All the cycling kit is cheaper in the winter too

Shutt VR jersies are made int he UK so would be a better fit
