Team Clothing question
I picked up my clothing last night, and the jersey's are the "club" fit, not the "race" fit like last year. So it's quite a bit bigger, not the same at all. When you get your clothes, take a look at the tag to see if it says "race raglan" like last year, or "club raglan". I'm curious if all of the men's jersey's got messed up, or how widespread the problem is.
Ya me too
Ya, I have the exact same problem with mine. I compared them with last years and the fit is totally different. It is no big deal if you dont mind riding with a giant parachute behind you or having anything in your pockets sag and rub on your rear tire. Let's hope they own up and make things right.
Shoot...
Yeah, same problem all around. We're working on it but won't be able to get anywhere until Monday at least I'm sure. I have just now reviewed the actual final order sheet Brad sent and everything is listed as Race Cut. Hopefully we can get it worked out with them, as I agree, they do not fit well.
Also, FYI... it's only the Men's Short Sleeve Jersey that is affected (the majority of our order). Everything else is correct that I've seen.
Club Cut
Hey guys,
Sorry I stayed home sick today. Not feeling so hot, hopefully will be good by tomorrow. We (Eric or myself) needs to send Bill @ Voler an email regarding this issue with the men's short sleeve jerseys. If you have it Eric I would just copy that one email that specified he needed to change the order to race cut and the final order sheet he sent over that we ok'd and then tell him the mistake and that we need them to fix it. If I make it to work tomorrow I will if you don't beat me to it. Thanks and talk to you later.
Brad

No prob... figured you'd want to since you mostly dealt with him. The email has been sent. :) Hopefully good news ensues.

After talking with Rob I looked at my jerseys and they too are the Club fit. Also, has anybody had there bib shorts flare out at the elastic grips so they don't fit snug against your thigh? My bib shorts, size large, fit great except for that. Thanks Eric for everything you're doing. We all appreciate it!
flare
My bibs did that at first also. They seemed to be better after the ride today so maybe that new elastic just needs a little workout. Either that or the ride made my thighs huge ;)
Thank Brad
I just pretend like I do stuff... he really does. :)
Thanks Brad -- and Joeli too!!!
for letting droves of people head over to your place bugging you to pick up their kits!
A big thanks for Brad too.
A big thanks for Brad too. You guys are great!
Clothing Problem Resolved!
OK folks... Voler rocks and sincerely apologized for the mix up. They're working on fast tracking the correct jerseys through production so we will hopefully receive them shortly. I don't have an estimate on the ship date yet though.
FYI on the incorrect CLUB cut jerseys. You have two choices. We can send them back OR keep them for $30 each. So anybody that's already picked up your jerseys we're going to need to get those returned ASAP unless you want to keep them for the discounted cost. They might be worth holding onto for training use, etc with the price that low if they're not too baggy.
Let Brad or I know what you're plans are though either way as we're going to have to get it all written down and organized. As before, Matt will be collecting the funds for those keeping the Club cut items (thanks Matt!! :)
Great to hear!
So if we have the choice to keep club cut jersey's for $30, does anybody have a medium they want to get rid of? I'm guessing that might be close to a "race large". It might be worth looking around to see everything that gets turned back in to see if there could be some overlap.
High demand for the club cut medium
Yeah... I think out of nearly 40 men's jerseys ordered like 7 were Medium... but you're probably correct in that they'd fit most of us better. You'll have to find somebody to give it up though I think. :)
It's a communication thing...
If we have jersey's that are going to be sent back, it might be nice to notify everyone what's available. Maybe Jon Gale would want one of the larges, etc.
Larges
Ladd, are you calling Jon a large club? (or am I just hungry?)
Also, how about the women's short sleeve jerseys? Did they come in wrong? (if so, make sure that is redone too) I ordered one women's jersey and I may check that out also or purchase that one at the $30 for Kerry or, hey what the heck, if a women's large club fit is printed the same as all the others and fits me, I might have an extra training jersey to use.
Anyway, Meridian Cycles, I'll check it out but I don't want a soggy club fit. Even a medium club, if the pockets sag with stuff jammed inside, that is a deal breaker.
Women's are fine
As stated above everything else was shipped correctly. Just the men's short sleeve is wrong. Even the long sleeve models are correct.
Moolah
For those of you that want to keep the club cut parachutes - er, jerseys - send me a check for $30 (each jersey) payable to Treasure Valley Cycling Club. My address is 5907 N. Wellspring Way, Boise, ID 83713. Please send an email to Brad, Eric and me, letting us know what you are going to do so we can coordinate with Voler.
Thanks!
