Hey, Grant: I've owned enough of Rivendell clothing to confidently assert that, in my own very personal experience, the pluses far outweigh the minuses.
Here's an idea (puhleeze?): bring back some of the Wooly Warm stuff. I have that Wooly Warm ragg-type over-jersey (4-or-so button plaquet, rear buttoned pockets, high faux turtleneck riding "sweater." What a wonderful garment! Even here in high desert ABQ, NM, winter humidity levels reach to the 60s, but at 40*F on a winter morning, with 55% humidity, a ls merino jersey under that WW over-jersey is just the ticket. *And,* what's even better, when riding home 3 hours later, and the temps soar to 60*, you can unbutton the plaquet and be perfectly comfortable.. Another instance: I bought a LS Rivendell wool jersey, I think iteration 2 -- half-zip plaquet, not the side button style -- second hand, only it was Large, and in this particular garment, I need a Medium. I washed it Hot and dried it Hotter, and the damned thing didn't shrink a mm. No worries, I gave it to my brother who is 4" taller and 40 lb heavier, and this after using it myself for a year or 2. I coveted one of those WW vests, but never had the cash when they were available.
