Can anyone recommend a decent jersey shop? I've bought a jersey from Prendas and don't like any of their other ones. I don't like the look of the Rapha or Assos jerseys. I've looked at Shutt VR and they really don't have enough variety, but there's one I like I'll buy.

I do not want a team jersey.

Any other recommendations?

    PBK, Alwaysriding, Wiggle, Ribble, CRC, etc.

    Craft clothing is ace - PBK and Alwaysriding have a fair bit.
    More problems but still living....

    My favourite is a Northwave jersey from Evans. Mainly because it has a scantily clad lady on the back but also because it fits well. I also have a Primal jersey from Chain Reaction which is reasonable quality for the price and a really cheap one from Aldi or Lidl that is surprisingly good.

    primal has huge range of choices, quality is fine

    castelli also has quite a few different styles

    Try all4cycling.com in Italy, excellent service - 75% of it is team stuff from last 3 seasons but there's a good selection of other jerseys and gear too

    Try Torm website. Excellent quality at a fairly resonable price.

    Pay attention to the size chart. I am usually medium, but I ordered large and it fits fine.

    For a long sleeved jersey the Cervo Rosso National Pride jersey is the business. It's made from 'sportswool' and has a very different aesthetic from some of the other jerseys you've mentioned. I like the modern twist on retro design.
    I didn't have to pay for mine because it was provided free for test purposes but I would have no hesitation in spending my own money on it. My other jerseys haven't had a look in since it arrived.

    I have reviewed the kit in my blog.

    Why don't they offer a 'Great Britain' option for the arm band? Seems utterly bizzare given the jersey is made by Shutt VR! I like it, and I'd buy it if it had a GB armband option.

    Endura do an FS260 one - no idea about pockets though...

    I understand that might be in the offing. It might be worth dropping them a line!
    There's a contact form on the website.
