Just received my 'All about the ride' and I must say it's absolutely brilliant! Bought a medium which was 41" chest and it fits perfectly.. The quality is amazing too, it feels as if it'll last a long time.
Many thanks to BDW for designing, Velocio for organising all of this and SJS for speedy and high quality distribution in what must be a mad rush

Clarification on shirt sizes.
Right, hands up... this is my fault entirely. I've gone and confused everyone.
3 Shirts are being printed on a different template then the others.
For the majority of shirts I'm using a vintage wash cotton, nice and thick, large-ish sizes.
But for 3 designs the vintage shirts didn't have the colours the designers wanted, so I selected a different base shirt for those... the Mélange shirts.
The designs are:
*** Anatomy- NBA
- Yeah Bwoy
**
For those three shirts only, the cut is slightly different... slightly shorter in length and with slightly shorter sleeves.
The info on the SJS Cycles website is correct, and not the info on LFGSS (until I update it shortly).
So when those sizes are shown as XS > L rather than S > XL... then that is what they have.
Continental do not make XL for those shirts as you can see here: http://www.continentalclothing.com/?module=cms&P=323&SP=250
The key thing to follow is the chest size as per the SJS Cycles site, as that is correct.
SJS advise that you follow the chest sizes if you're unsure.
What might cause further confusion on top of my announcing incorrect sizes (such as an XL that doesn't exist) are the labels inside the t-shirts.
If you placed an order for a "Small 41'' Chest" this is the equivalent to a medium for other sizes, then it will actually say that it is a medium inside the t-shirt.
The majority of stock for the N16’s will be in the "Small" size which is equiv to Medium.
Although this is my fuck up, SJS have said that "if a customer places an order via the chest size, tries the t-shirt once they receive it, and should it not fit then they can return it to us for a replacement or refund.".
So you should be fine anyhow although with shirts selling so fast they may not be able to replace the shirt with one of a different size if it's unavailable (they are limited).
So again... for the three designs mentioned, just make sure you've ordered the right chest size.

I dont get the penguin one either.
It's the Penguin logo wearing a cap and pack. The Penguin logo is iconic and therefore ripe for satire.

NOTE: The shirts that SJS sell are going to rise slightly in price.
SJS have been selling these at near break even for them, and the demand has been so great that it's consuming nearly all of their resources and now actually costing them. So to recoup some of their costs they've asked if they can bump the price slightly.
I've approved this as I honestly thought that they'd start a little bit higher and was surprised to see them be so aggressive at keeping the price low.
With that in mind shirts sold from this point onwards will be
£16£17 and not £15.I still think that barely scratches the surface of the absolute mayhem that must be occurring in their warehouse at the moment and still won't recoup costs... so if they ask again I'm telling you all now that I'm quite happy for them to go up to £17.50 (making it £20 per shirt inc P&P to the UK).
They, like us, should be producing a profit for all of their hard work and time, and whilst I applaud that they've gone way above and beyond to try and keep them as low as possible I think it's time that they make sure that they don't lose money through helping us with all of the logistics in this.

Sounds fair to me. £20 is still cheap for a cracking t-shirt.
Now I'm just left to wonder what size I'm going to get through the post :P

Been in email conversation with Gavin at sjs over some rims and he mentioned that everythings gone into overdrive for them at the mo.
I say fair play to them for taking on the work, especially at the price they're making/not making. I'd have happily paid £20 as would most people on here i'm sure knowing that the forum gets funded for another year etc etc.
On the off chance you turn a profit when all sold and costs covered etc will there be a big blowout party/raffle at the end of the year? That would be aces... -

I kinda assumed(/hoped) people would be picking up a few other bits and pieces at the same time, adding (a little) to their sales.
They have a great selection of nuts and bolts for the tinkerer (I was more than happy with my 'garage floor sweepings'), bartape, lubes etc...
Bit of a shameless plug but I've been using these guys for a while, for the small bits you'd usually pop into your LBS for, as I dont have a decent LBS. I grateful for interweb based shops willing to stock nuts and bolts and not just the big money items like carbon bars and gruppos.

OK, just spoke to Nick... we've agreed on £17.
This helps them recover some of the costs of selling the first load so damn cheaply whilst keeping it below £20 per shirt inc P&P to the UK.
So from now on... shirts are £17.
Which is probably what they should've been from the outset... so if you were lucky enough to order before the price rise you definitely have the generosity and goodwill of SJS to thank for your discount... consider it an introductory price or something.

Cock Puke should be made as patches and stickers, its just so awesome and nearly 'too much' to be going around with on a shirt.

PoC (I just can't say it, I just can't) caused much mirth and were selling very well last night. I'm sure the T-shirts were just one of the many factors for such a stonking turn-out.
I'm so proud of this photo. Might get it framed.

Fucking brilliantness !
Just got a big box with 24 t-shirts in !!! :D
The t-shirt quality and the printing are just great, the actual t-shirt fabric colours are really really nice too, much much nicer than they look in any of the illustrations.
Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool !
I might do a tour of the HipsterSpiceRoute™ - parading a new design on each pass.
