Deffo not 3-4 sleeve !!!
What do you wear if/when you have elbow pads on though? Normal SS tops only come down half way down my bicep giving a nice embarrassing gap above the pad.
Or do 'FR' style short sleeves come up a bit longer?

Long sleeve, merino wool, stw roundel logo embroidered in red on the left shoulder and blue on the right. Oh in large please!!
I'm currently unsure as to a roll neck version....
Those baggy, v-necked, sack-like jerseys are one of the things I really hate about mountainbiking.
MrNutt: Oh in large please!!
Have you been on the pies???

As long as it has rear pockets and is an XC cut, sign me up.
I'd be much more likely to buy a mincecore light jersey for bloaters than a roadie jersey for anorexics. 🙂
I'm anticipating the winter spread 😀
Gosh, so many replies! Thank you all for responding. 🙂
My biggest bugbear with cycle clothing is cheap looking fabric that doesn't actually wick, and costs a fortune. So ...

SO STW is this possible?
I'd be up for one. My normal riding jerseys are the race face and sombrio looser fit ones that look more like normal t-shirts. The proper freeride/dh ones I've got are too heavy for normal riding. I think you either have one or the other and if you must have space for pads, buy the next size up.
i normaly wear skintight lurid lycra for riding................
but i suppose i could go for a loser, figure hiding shirt...... 😉 8)
My fav shirt is an endura burner with three quarter sleeves. Something like that.
Put me down for any sort of MTB appropriate attire.
Tony - the obvious one liner is killing me but I'll try to keep it to myself
Lol @ ton, man-sized for you then? 😉
I have e-mailed Chipps and mentioned that many of the people I have ridden with are not of whippet build. Hell, we like our beer and pub stops are part of the ride. 8)
Will they be flouncy ?
Cos I dont do flouncy.
And no pleats.
I'm in if they're not flouncy or pleated.
do both short or long, 3/4 sleeve is for really short arms 🙂 🙂
One of my favourite cycling shirts that I own is my singletrack special reserve jersey. Fits perfectly, looks great and has lasted a long time with only a bit of fraying. One like that please.
This sounded like a good idea but I think it could end up giving STW/mtbing a bad image. The big, baggy freeride top with 3/4 length sleeves doesnt sound cool. Give this to a man wearing elbow pads, mincing round a trail centre and you've created a monster.
Its got to look sleek and fast, some sort of close fitting lycra top would be best, shortish sleeves and a zipped collar. Perhaps some pockets at the back you could store stuff in, so you dont have to take a camels back with you.
lmao. personally, a cotton tee shirt and baggies for me 🙂
But you've got the skills to match the freeride look!
The younger downhill/freeride generation will probably be seething at the fact the xc mincers have nicked their 'look'. I dont want to be a part of it so i'll stick with lycra jerseys.
its not about a look its just freedom of expression. ride/wear what you want
The good old days of wearing jeans and a t shirt for bike rides. Why does no one do this anymore!
i do unless its wet/cold as wicking tee's work betterer
I'd absolutely be keen if it could be somewhere between lycra XC stylee and full-on freeride-esque. I don't wear pads or ride a DH rig, but the skintight lycra look ain't for me either.
Oh, and I realise this is asking for the moon on a stick, but if it were less than the £94.99 required for a woll st top, that would be good 🙂
Loose cut top here would be great, wouldn't look like it has shrunk in the wash like my other stw jersey 😀
Good plan - I'd give one a go.
Oppositite problem from most for me, too much Lycra and I'm in danger of looking like a techicolour swan vesta when I put my lid on.
