I have a friend who thinks he may be stout 😉 can anyone recommend a short sleeved top that won't look obscene on him, he swears his wife has shrunk his current jerseys in the wash 😯

btt

This is a serious question, come on guys recommend a short sleeved riding jersy for the bigger boned gentleman

Your friend should make himself a Tron suit. It's the only thing that looks good on the stout. Sorry but short sleeves just wouldn't look right.

Being on the stout side myself, I'd recommend Race Face jerseys. Those Canadians know a thing or two about fitting a big lad.

I got a Fox short sleeve T-shirt style riding jersey a couple of months ago, that is a decent fit on me – and currently I'm big boned plus on the size side of things! Sadly no zip on the front or rear pockets, but it does come with a glasses cleaner cloth sewn into the hem. Hmmmmm, never used it yet, probably never will.

FBF, thanks for the info re Race Face, might look at some of those myself.

Endura do big sizes

Endura are good for my portly frame as are Adidas.

Ground Effect – I can still fit mediums. I Like.

Plus it's nice non lycra non advert plastered hard wearing kit.

Nike and Cannondale if you can find them.
