Replica / Vintage cycling jerseys

When I was younger I rode in a Raleigh Creda Camapgnolo jersey, a bit like this one 
... for a very short time in 1984 I was even almost considered trendy when Mick Talbot from the Style Council appeared on Top Of The Pops wearing one. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEVSc4ejfXs)
Since getting back into cycling I've been looking for some suitable jerseys to wear, if I could find my original one back at my parents I doubt it would fit me, although my son might fit it soon.
Is there anyone making replica vintage kit? Call it nostalgia if you like, but with British cycling entering a golden era now, surely there is a market for middle aged born again riders like me? Not to mention Bradley Wiggins notable support for mod-style as well!

Prendas is your best bet but if anyone knows of others.......None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.0

Thanks, brilliant tip - now I have to submit a purchase request in to the finance committee (aka the wife) for one of these http://www.prendas.co.uk/details.asp?referrer=RHS&ID=2840daviesee wrote:Prendas is your best bet but if anyone knows of others.......

Nice to see retro tops being worn, all the breathability of a bin liner though0

Strange - the Prendas ones are exactly the same as any other modern top - just with a retro design.ShutUpLegs wrote:Nice to see retro tops being worn, all the breathability of a bin liner thoughFaster than a tent.......0 -

+1 - I've bought a couple of (retro) jerseys from Prendas and they are no less/more breathable than any of my other jerseys. In fact, the Prendas jerseys are my faves.“Training is like fighting with a gorilla. You don’t stop when you’re tired. You stop when the gorilla is tired.”0 -
All4cycling in Italy. Italian sizing so go bigger than normal but otherwise the kit is excellent.

I've been thinking of buying this for ages and each time I visit the site I have a quick peek, so yesterday I said bollox and bought it: -
As has been mentioned Prendas, top company to deal with and some excellent bargains at the same time!0 -

Good choice! This was the first one I bought from Prendas, love it! I've since bought the Brooklyn jersey, which my 4 year old loves as it reminds him of Captain America.
Have had to email Prendas a few times ref sizing and they've always been very good to deal with. Trying to decide which one to go for next.......“Training is like fighting with a gorilla. You don’t stop when you’re tired. You stop when the gorilla is tired.”0 -

I also coveted a replica Raleigh/Creda jersey when I was younger, round about the early eighties if I recall. Halfords had one for the princely sum of £19.99. By the time I'd saved up for it the sponsor had changed to Raleigh/McGregor and shot up in price. Never did own one
Might be forced to make amends though if I can find one.
This takes a bit of beating in the retro jersey stakes though, I think.

This place seems to do a lot of replica jersey although their 'oldies' only seem to go back a couple of years.
