Mine has shrunk a little in the arms over time. But it's also stretched in the trunk from time/wearing a baselayer under.
If it's not too used could you try swapping it with someone?

Sorry, I totally forgot I'd asked this question and with the warm spell I've obviously been in short sleeves so not given long sleeves a thought .. Anyway, I usually take a medium. Thanks
The medium in the T5 and T8 have sleeves approx 20.5" from the armpit to the end of the cuff and 26" from the shoulder to the end of the cuff. The arm pit to armpit measurement of these jerseys is around 20".
Hope that helps.

Has anyone tried to shrink their sport wool jerseys?
I have apparently lost weight recently and i'm thinking about washing my tørm jersey in hot water
Ive washed at 60C a couple of times with no effect but I'll do something a little more scientific if you like

Just bought a couple of short sleeves and a long sleeve, and am very much liking them. Can't get my iPhone 5 to fit in the waterproofed pockets though, which is my only niggle.
I'm looking into this and will see what we can do for the 2014 range.

Just got a long sleeve too.
My only quibble with Torm is their sizing isn't that consistent: full zips and short zip jerseys size up differently, and I have two baselayers with identical sizes on the label but feel very different.
Also my older jerseys has developed holes at the top of the rear pocket seams, which makes me sad.
None of which means I haven't ordered again, still lovely kit and brilliant value.
All my garments are handmade so there will always be minor variations but it should only be a few percent here and there. The base layers should be identical in sizing, if you lay them flat are they obviously different in all dimensions ? I have also been working on strengthening key stress areas in the garments.

yes please. rather than me letting myself go at the toblerone. very un-scientific

Just by way of feed back on where mine has worn:
My first long sleeved (full zip) is starting to come unstitched at the top shoulder seam (ie where the red line on this image pointis). It is also coming away a bit at the neck seem on the back. The rest is all fine.

Thanks for coming back to me .. a lot faster then I coming back to you! Sorry again about that .. Right so I've got to take some measurements now and see if they'll fit.

Irrespective of the iPhone 5 issue, I really like the kit. Given the change in the weather, I thought I should get some more long-sleeved stuff, so put in an order about 1am on Wednesday, asking if they would be so kind as to make sure it arrived by Friday as I am off on a tour at the weekend. Thursday afternoon I get the package, with a handwritten note to enjoy my trip. Words can't describe. Top blokes.

How are these for smell? If worn a few days back to back.
Will they get smelly easily?
Thinking of getting some for more casual cycling tops. -

-

Gonna grab a L/S (maybe green T8), and some armwarmers pretty soon.
A real shame that the grey t5 is always out of stock.

Thinking of getting some for more casual cycling tops.30mins london commute to work and I can probably ge away with washing 1-2 times a week. Proper ride, I'm not sure as I wash tops anyways.

Thinking of getting some for more casual cycling tops.Wore a short sleeve two days back to back when touring in late summer (was trying to pack light). Didn't really smell bad even after day two, I just didn't fancy putting it back on after the amount I'd known I'd sweated into it, and put on a fresh one the next day.

I accidentally bought a pair of the larger arm warmers (size II). They have not been worn and have labels attached.
Anyone want them? Would like to get back what I paid, so £15. Pickup or I can deliver in W1/Se13 or nearby.

Any new designs/colours for the winter on their way mate?
-
• #674
How much would I have to spend to convince you to make a bunch of kit with the same design as usual (double/single bands) but all black.
I love your gear but the white accents become an interesting blue grey colour by about the second wash when faced with the run off from all my black kit.
