Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell Jersey
Tagua nut, from a type of palm tree. Can be carved as an ivory substitute. These were from iBOB days, I think. I worked in a shop that was a San Francisco Bridgestone dealer and as iBOB stuff became available we bought a couple of these jerseys. I remember that there was a spare, but uncarved, nut floating around in the plastic bag.

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell Jersey
Back in the early days of Rivendell they produced some very nice jerseys; 2 different models and periods, IIRC; actually, I think 3. The first were truly retro ss with side or shoulder button plackets and buttons of some exotic (= non plastic) material; Taiga? tagua? nuts? The second were some ls, perhaps ss too, merino ones that didn't shrink; I got rid of an otherwise very nice ls Large because it was skirt length and didn't shrink a bit even after washing on Hot and drying on High. #3s were Woolywarms, light merino; at least ss -- I have a pair of these. Too long, really -- I don't like my cell phone and wallet down near the bottom of my bottom -- and I may sell them. Or I may wear one right now, on my prospective ride. Suggestion: If someone does do a run of Rivendell jerseys (I like the design pictured): please add buttoned chest pockets? Man, you can't get more retro than that, and they are quite practical. I've owned only 1 jersey with those, a modern retro-jersey in wool. I'd buy at least 1, ss or ls.

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell Jersey
I'm not sure why Riv stopped selling bike jerseys. I think it went along with their thinking that having a bike specific shirt inhibits you from just riding. While I agree with that in principle, I don't like sticking my phone/wallet in my bike bag, and having items in the jersey pockets is way better than having them in pants pockets while riding.

[RBW] Re: Rivendell Jersey
Interesting reactions to this. It is not a "counterfeit" Rivendell jersey, it is a "fake" Rivendell jersey, given that there are no Rivendell jerseys to copy that I know of. In my original post, I mentioned this being possible heresy, as I don't think RBW is into kit. But Eroica wants period correct "kit". So I thought, as long as I am riding a bike that is sorta, kinda retro style (as in having lugs) why not complete the vibe with a "retro" style Rivendell jersey to match the bike. I mean no disrespect to RBW. I have bought 11 frames (Ok - 10 frames and 1 bike) over the years from them. I suppose I could ride my Paramount and get a "new" Schwinn jersey of some sort. But the Paramount is in need of a repaint among other things and I haven't sent it to Waterford yet - best to wait on the Rivendell custom which should actually fit me (I couldn't afford a custom Colin Laing when I was younger). I just hope they will let me ride the platform pedals, but I may have to switch to MKS touring pedals. Note that the font is just a simplified "Algerian" with the R 50% bigger - worked out as well as I could hope. Can RBW actually give permission to use "Rivendell" - wouldn't that be up to the Tolkien family or whoever they sold the rights to? I thought that it was kind of interesting that the jersey was made in New Zealand, where the Lord of the Rings was filmed. Now just need to find some black wool bib cycling shorts without logo in XXXL.
