If the BikeArlington jerseys are of interest too, you can check the sizing at some local stores before you buy.
already bought one
It was the last “larger” size they had at the time. I think they’ve re-stocked since. They had an XXL and a XS, and I needed it before the Arlington Fun Ride! So I snagged the XXL, which is definitely XXL…. it’s a little big on me, but it makes me happy because I used white-out on one of the X’s and it always makes me think I’m losing weight still!@eminva 38038 wrote:

thank you! I’m trying to get a bit more involved in advocacy. BikeMD seems to be the big one in Maryland. Unfortunately, they’re out of Baltimore so it’s difficult for me to get too involved
I know there’s some stuff in MoCo, so I’m trying to get involved in that.@eminva 38038 wrote:
Certifried, you just hijacked your own thread!
Yes, and no. Part of my reason was to also drum up interest in their jerseys (which are kind of cool) that also hopefully helps them out too

LizYeah, the problem is when I come across cool jerseys that are made by different organizations. The WABA jersey was a perfect example, I learned my lesson about “sport cut” from that. I’d never heard of it before. Imagine my surprise when I got the XL jersey and couldn’t even put it on! (I cried for days). So trying to decipher fit charts and actual cuts has become a necessity, especially when jerseys are relatively expensive.
also, so I don’t clog up the forums with other useless drivel (hah! sarcasm, since I do that all the time anyways… see what I did there?)
when it comes to cycling jersey sizes, I’m always confused. I bought the awesome looking WABA jersey in XL, which usually is perfect for me. This thing was TINY around my BIG gut
(no problem, gave it to my son). So I get the whole “sport cut” vs “pathlete cut” thing, but when looking at jersey sizing charts, does “waist” size mean anything? Here’s an example. Because normally an XL is fine, unless it’s a sport cut. This page doesn’t say anything about what type of cut these jerseys are, but I see the waist size on that chart for XL is 37. My waist is REALLY close to that (hah! lies), but I just don’t know if waist is part of that sizing chart generically for their shorts too?I like these, and want one, but they’re out of XXL if the XL is “sport cut”.
