  • Short, get some arm Warner's and your sorted

  • short sleves with arm warmers.

  • yay!

    ...the grey is back this week...a bit like the weather !

  • I'm looking into this and will see what we can do for the 2014 range.

    Have made some adjustments, from April most jerseys fit an iPhone 5...I hope the iPhone 6 isnt any bigger !

  • Low temperature & low agitation washing should keep you at c) for a while.

    Wool shrinks as the cuticles in the fibres rub against each other, catching and holding on to each other, in the same way that felt is made. This process is exacerbated in hot water, and with more movement.

    Unless you hand wash each and every time, wool is going to shrink & felt eventually.

    As SuperWool TM has a exterior polyester framework it wont shrink/felt in the same way as pure merino...swmbo has already put that to the test !

  • I got the Howies 'epic cotton' jacket on sale earlier. Actually I really like the material. I reckon the hype over its waterproofness, breathability and fast drying time is pretty accurate. I cannot comment on longevity yet though.

    But apart from a nice tight fit the Howies jacket doesn't have any cycle specific functionality. That's where I reckon Torm can do something.
    Put something together in the same harrington style as the Howies and Vulpine, then add some underarm zips, a subtly lower hem over your butt and a zipped rear pocket, and maybe a rear bottle pocket as well .... and you might have yourselves a winner.

    I'll gladly do a bit of pro-bono research and project managment for you if you're interested.

  • just make a good looking version of the Castelli Gabba jacket. There is nothing
    better.

  • I would happily buy a torm jacket. Love my torm jersey!

  • Epic cotton trousers failed in the first downpour they encountered, though it seems to be ok in light drizzle.

    Thanks for the offer. It's just me and Al running Torm, we're deliberately small so we don't get caught up chasing the market or the money....its just going to be jerseys and base layers for us....we like simple.

  • (and neck warmers it seems)

  • Anyone want to buy my large, black t1? It's too big for me now.

  • How much for a Black T1?

    Also I'm 5'10" and 11Stone 9lbs.... think it will fit me?

    Too big.

    Medium at biggest.

    ...I do like to make a few things from time to time just give away...I will be keeping it simple though.

  • Anyone know if this jersey ever came out or why it's not available now? Going on the file name it is the 'T4'.

  • One of the double stitched seams on the shoulder of T8 went this morning. :(

    Here's hoping it's superficial as I've only had it since xmas and worn on maybe 10 occasions. Currently seems (seams?! - lol) to be holding together OK, but it's only been 2 hours and I'm sat at a desk.

    Not to be taken as a sleight on quality of construction - I love this thing to pieces, just hopefully not literally...

  • CSB:

    My girlfriend was cycling to work yesterday, stopped at the traffic lights at Streatham Hill and a guy (pedestrian) asked about her jersey. He wanted to know if it was Torm one and whether it was worth the money. She said it was and it was over a year old and still good as new.

    "We had a nice old chat about it!" says she.

    That's not what I expect, send me an email and let's chat about it.

    It was done for a couple of years but discontinued.

    ...lost art these days talking....and stopping at traffic lights...glad it's serving her well

    Aren't they're strictly jersey rather than a jacket?

  • Just ordered a T2 and arm warmers, can't wait to get me some of this Torm! Now to find some bibs to go with...

  • Wow, arrived this morning! Well worth the shipping fee!

  • Anyone know how long the site's been offline?
