There are l'Eroica shirts for sale, which are deemed 'retro/vintage'.
I bought a cream one last year intending to use it on the day but when I put it on over the bibs you could clearly see the straps through the material. Seeing as this was 4am in the morning I had no choice but to ride with a modern jersey.
At the finish though I was denied the bottle of Chianti Classico and local 'cake' for finishing the 135km under the time barrier for not having a sufficiently 'vintage' jersey. After 10 hours in the saddle, bruised, battered and covered in strade I didn't have the energy to tell the card-stamper to go fuck himself. I just wanted a beer.
