[Closed] Morvelo jerseys. Anyone else find them to be an odd fit?

Ordered a size medium jersey there a while ago, and I found that the stomach and chest area was a bit baggy and loose for me and just not as tight as I like, so I sent it back and exchanged for a size small. But the arms on the small one seem so ridiculously tight (like circulation reduced type tight), and I don't have big arms by any means.

I haven't really had any problems with the fit of jerseys before. Anyone else had this problem? Going to get a refund on the size small.

I found the arms very tight on my large too, and I don't have particularly large arms

Good to know its not just me then! In hindsight the medium was a better fit than the small for me but I wasn't happy enough with it for the price of them.

Yup,I had the same issue but seemed to be the only one on the previous thread about Morvelo and their sizing. Their bibshorts are a 'normal' medium but I found the jerseys to be quite a loose fit, but the arm grippers pretty tight?

Yep I found that. Way tighter than Castelli/Gore/Endura/PI jerseys anyway!

Are they sized for body armour? I.e when the arms fit there is room for padding in torso...

Just bought a Blue Scrub off the classified in large. The website say's to size up. Medium in every thing else. No chance of any elbow armour underneath. ๐Ÿ™„ Very nicely made jersey though. It is a bit snug to be fair but keeping the nettles off the arms on last nights ride. Probably a bit too athletic a fit for me.

They seem to be designed for pot bellied riders with Ethiopian arms.

Yep.. I have one... A jersey that is.
It's kind of baggy round the waist. Nice snug fit on the arms.
I spose it allows you space to absolutely stuff the back pockets with cake, pies and biscuits.
