I have recently received my order from Rapha with 3 different XL ladies jerseys/tops and am trying to work out what on earth is going on with the sizing. From the website, the chest measurement of ladies XL is 102cm. The actual garments I have received have chest measurements as follows:
Women's Merino Breton - 108cm. This fits fine.
Women's Long Sleeve Merino - 106cm - this is enormous! I plan to exchange for a L as the XL is baggy and ill fitting. Proably a function of the thinner stretchier fabric.
Women's Long Sleeve Souplesse Jersey - 94cm??? This is more on par with the M and L sizes of 92/97cm.
I have had wrongly labelled Rapha clothing before (a pair of s38 shorts that were clearly a s34), I understand there is 'fit' and 'size' but I don't see how 'fit' can account for such a smaller sizing. Will be returning for exchange on the assumption that it is wrongly labelled.
And now I see the website is saying they aren't able to offer an exchange on these items.
