On a slightly different tact. Please, no flames as I live in China I do buy Chinese products
I have thought that a wonderful cycling jersey could be made from knitted silk. There is a company in Honzhou that makes golf shirts from this and they are just the absolute max in comfort. Silk has a lot of the same properties as wool in that is both warm in cool weather and cool in hot weather but it is never scratchy. If someone would make a jersey that has a collar and a front pocket, like a square tailed golf shirt with a couple of small cycling pockets in back, I think they could sell a bunch of them. Bicycle commuters could wear them at work as silk, like wool doesn't stink if you sweat in it. So for a short commute, in a semi-casual atmosphere you wouldn't need to change. The problem would be that these things would be really pricy. Probably at least USD $150.00 each On Sep 17, 8:12 am, Lynne Fitz <fitzb...@comcast.net> wrote: > But then, if you have riding buddies who bought the original Or Rando > shrinking jerseys from the aforementioned company, and their jersey > shrank and you are smaller than they are, you've got a nice toasty > felted jersey.
