Wool or Acrylic?

Posted on
  • I am thinking of buying a vintage jersey - does anyone have any advice on the pros and cons of acrylic jerseys? Are they a lot less breathable than wool?

  • wool all the way for me. Warm, breathable, drys quick and locks smells away like no other!

  • wool.

  • wool. easy.

  • wool fo shoooooooo. I'm sure most would say the same.

  • Back in the 70's nostalgic sigh we only had wool,acrylic or nylon. No Lycra. Acrylic was cheap so we wore that. Unfortunately, once you start sweating the material gets sodden and uncomfortable. There was a reason why wool was more expensive, it was (and still is) better.

    TBH, you're probably better off buying a modern Lycra jersey in a retro vintage design.

  • ^why?

    Wool jerseys are still widely available and look boss. Check out the le Coq sportif leroica line.

  • Chocolate or shit?

  • Sex or castration?

  • Miserable or euphoric?

  • Music or agonising screams?

  • Bed or The North Sea?

  • John or Edward ?
