If this was Italian-made I'd likely be an XXXL! The first photo is good for sleeve length though. Nicely at the wrist, and rumpled showing extra length available. Plus no low-haning troos... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4626#post-49121 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 23:42:24 +0000 Instography 49121@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Their XXL wouldn't even get close. It's a weird world where you qualify as extra large. Not even large but EXTRA large. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4626#post-49120 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 23:36:32 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 49120@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>And actually, looking at the photie again I think Kappers has hit on the actual issue - I'm hanging my backside out the shorts like I'm some sort of hippity-hopper. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4626#post-49119 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 23:35:41 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 49119@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The arms are fine actually, it's the one bit I was worried about. That's the XL size, I think they do an XXL. They actually emailed with what the actual measurements were before mailing so that I could confirm the size - not sure they're bang on yet, but what I <em>can</em> say is that it's lovely and cosy, without being too warm, and kept out the rain AND the wind without me getting clammy. Let's see what Tuesday brings... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4626#post-49118 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 23:27:03 +0000 Instography 49118@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It looks a bit wee. Like it's a little short on the arms. It's a nice site that thecyclejersey.com but they need to start making stuff in size jumbo. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4626#post-49117 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 23:14:19 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 49117@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>And thinking on it - I do actually have some biblongs!!!

So should manage to stop this happening! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4626#post-49109 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 22:33:15 +0000 wingpig 49109@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I hope my Zymes don't do that.

I bought the Ardbeg Whisky one for my pal down south [he might never use it except up here]. Price good [compared with foska equivalent]. Obviously pricier than a plain one but made in Scotland I believe. Douglas at thecyclejersey.com very good on the customer service [notice to anyone considering purchase the sizes are wrong on the website but about to change once all the previous snug sizes and colours have been sold].</p> <p>Douglas keen on any suggestions for products. I thought Williams Bros beer and Fentimans Ginger Beer. Douglas negotiating with Sunday Post [or struggling with this - I would buy an Oor Wullie top or a Broons top for definite]. </p> <p>White stuff seems to have fallen as hail higher up eg Balerno/Eskbank and snow in town. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4626#post-49054 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 10:11:47 +0000 amir 49054@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anth - smart. shows the benefit of a £2 piggy bank. we just save one and two ps. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4626#post-49053 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 10:07:22 +0000 chdot 49053@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thread hijacked</p> <p>SNOW @ <a href="http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4627" rel="nofollow">http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4627</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4626#post-49051 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 09:53:40 +0000 SRD 49051@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>more than a cm here, i think. roads well covered. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4626#post-49050 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 09:46:49 +0000 Nelly 49050@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7160/6451439633_f136937dda.jpg"></p> <p>EH9 </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4626#post-49049 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 09:27:53 +0000 amir 49049@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Very dark here in Eskbank.
