    Looking for a road jersey but struggling to find one that fits properly. I’m 6’5 and slim, meaning that they either fit well in the chest/body but are too short, or they’re long enough but too baggy.

    I tried on two by Castelli and Endura that were pretty much spot on (the Castelli, in particular, was spot on in the body in size L), but both a little short.

    Are there any brands that are known for sizing up quite long while remaining slim fitting?

    Are you usually XL?

    If so maybe try this…

    I have the medium one and it’s lovely, very long and quite a close fit.

    That does look nice, but I think XL is going to be too big. I normally take L in clothes, and the L was certainly the best fit in the Endura and Castelli.

    I’ve heard that Sportful might be worth a try?

    we have a few team riders who are short and slim and we get our jerseys custom made, if you wanted a custom jersey we could get one tailor made for no extra cost, only the cost of the jersey

    Just thought I’d provide an update, in case anyone else is in a similar position.

    I tried a Sportful jersey and it was pretty close. The fit was fantastic in the body, but again it was ever so slightly short. I ended up getting a Castelli Prima, which was slightly longer than the other Castelli I had tried previously and so fits perfectly. Really pleased with it.
