Get Your Roadskater.net 2009 Inline Skating and Cycling Jersey or Grab a Classic Tangerine or Iris Version Now

UPDATE: SEP 3 2009. Classic TANGERINE sleeveLESS JERSEYS available while SUPERSWEET supplies last. MYSTERY COLOR JERSEY ORDERS CLOSED and the jerseys are in production and on schedule for hopeful delivery by the eve of Tour to Tanglewood. Mystery color will be a BRIGHT COLOR FOUND IN NATURE so we're visible on the road, mixed as below with lighter tones of the same color. I didn't buy EXTRAS so these are even more LIMITED EDITIONS of the ROADSKATER JERSEY. Thanks to all for their color blind faith! Remember there are a very few Tangerine sleeveLESS to grab. More... _____________________________________________________________________________ Let the Roadskater.net Jersey Freak-Out Begin If you pay shipping on MORE THAN ONE jersey and I end up shipping them all together, I can likely refund some of the shipping to you. The important thing is to e your commitment (size and sleeve style which is not fixed until payment and shortly after) and your questions to (without spaces): [e addr removed for now] site members may use the contact form to send me a message here via the contact form... http://roadskater.net/user/1/contact In general, I expect these jerseys to be slightly larger than the Sunlit Leaves and Iris editions, and about the same as the Tangerine edition. The Sky edition was slightly roomier too, I believe, but this could just be my copies, and due to washing (use cold) or (don't do it other than hang) drying. They size about like dri-this or active-that jerseys you find at discount and specialty stores but not the Under Armour stuff. EVERYONE WELCOME Everyone is welcome to order a Roadskater.net jersey, and nobody, even team members, is required to. No pressure. If there's not enough interest, we won't do it! ASAP OK, I'm sure it's not much surprise that we're on a very tight schedule. This year I have some pretty good excuses I guess. I'd like some idea of interest ASAP by email (or site members may use the contact form to send me a message here via the contact form... http://roadskater.net/user/1/contact ...and I'll have an order page up ASAP too, but I'm waiting to confirm the size chart. The mystery color jerseys will not ship before Tour to Tanglewood, and while I will do all I can to ensure they are here, something could happen to ruin that (but I don't think so as I'm likely to do all manner of things to not have that take place). FEELS GOOD LOOKS GOOD SKATES WELL Why get a Roadskater.net jersey? To distinctly visible as you share the road. Represent your sport in style as you skate or ride. Because it looks good on you, and feels good on you. The fabric is fab, the zipper is supersweet, and the colors are cool. And it spreads skateylove yes and says we're grateful to be skateful. ONLINE ORDERS Online order form will be up soon. Pay via Paypal without being a member, with secure online payment using credit card or check. Ordering online helps keep everything straight and lets us pay electronically. NEW LOWER PRICE FOR MYSTERY AND EXISTING JERSEYS $49 (plus shipping if you won't be at Tour to Tanglewood or Athens to Atlanta or don't have someone going there who can bring it to you...you can pay the actual shipping charges later if we don't work out a free solution.) The good news is we've earned a slightly lower price for our troubles last year, and I'll pass that along, applying the savings across all jerseys on hand and those to be made this year. That means if you prefer Tangerine (Pyrocantha/Firethorn) or Iris (Deep Violet), there is a good chance you can get one of those (see below). TEN WILL MAKE IT GO We need 10 more orders of each (sleeveLESS and SHORTsleeve) to make it go. If we have too few of one style you have the opportunity to indicate whether you would like to get the other style instead or none at all. All that will be in the options on the order form to come. If you could email me or use the contact form on the site to let me know your intentions, great. SAME MF'ER After working with the manufacturer to get last year's sleeveLESS jerseys altered, then discussing matters afterward, I've decided to stick with the same company for another year. We quite simply love the fabric, 19" supersweet zipper, finish work and durability of our previous jerseys, and despite the worry and upset last year, the Tangerine sleeveLESS jerseys turned out well. They also have changed their sleeveLESS pattern based on our input (we sent measurements from previous designs). So, in the interest of consistency and loyalty, I've decided to stay with them for another year. RAGLAN shortSLEEVE We've always used set-in sleeves (seam across the shoulders, T-shirt style), but for several reasons we're going to shift to raglan (seam circling under the arm from the neck) this year. Raglan is very popular and some of my favorite Tanglewood jerseys are this style. We did set-in sleeves originally so we could make sleeveless from the set-in, but to date, nobody has done that. So we'll try raglan. As you all know, I make as few changes as possible year to year, so the design will look as much like the old one as possible, except we may have something on the point of the shoulders as this is one of the benefits of a raglan design. More than anything else, I want us to look like a team, no matter what color the jersey, so I'll be sticking with the strongest visual cues and changing as little as possible. I wouldn't be buying 2 of each style of jerseys myself if I didn't think they'd be awesome. I'd just let it go and sell the Tangerines and Irises on hand. SLEEVEless v3.0 SleeveLESS will be available if we have enough orders. I plan to offer them based on my conversations with the mf'er, and the fact that I've been pleased with the sleeveless from last year after the alterations. The mf'er told me that based on our input, they have trimmed the shoulder piece so that it does not hang off of the shoulders. I've asked for photos but for now have not received those. I've talked with the guy who handled the alterations last year and I believe he really wants us to be extremely happy this year and going forward. I still have some sizing questions to get answered but we'll iron that out soon. Canada is on holiday Monday. For now, order DOWN a size if you are on the border between sizes. THE SAFEST THING TO DO IS ORDER BASED ON YOUR TANGERINE JERSEY IF YOU HAVE ONE. I believe the SHORTsleeve and sleeveLESS are a bit relaxed vis-a-vis previous years, but only by a half size or less. PREFERRED OR REQUIRED STYLE This year we need 12 of each kind to make an order. That means we may not have both sleeved and sleeveless. I need to know for each one you order if it is a PREFERENCE or REQUIREMENT to get that style. So if you order SHORTsleeve but will be glad to have sleeveLESS, please say so. If you order one of each, do you want only one if we do only one style? Make sense? It gets complicated quickly. BUILDING THE MYSTERY COLOR The mystery color will be a bright color from nature that will be highly visible when we're on the road. Some will hate it, and some will absolutely love it. It's not FM radio so we don't go for mediocrity, but it's not 12-tone music either, so we like strong beauty. If you get one and hate it I'll eventually find someone to buy it and give you your money back then (I wish I could make an even better offer, but alas, if I could, they'd be free anyway). IF YOU HATE MYSTERIES If you love that supersweet 19" zipper and skateyluscious hyperwicking softness on your skin, but you HATE the mystery color, grab some Tangerine sleeveLESS (10 available) or SHORTsleeved (1 available) or Iris (Deep Violet Purple) sleeveLESS (1 available) now. After several months of testing to be sure I feel OK about it, the TANGERINE (PYROCANTHA/FIRETHORN) sleeveLESS roadskater.net jerseys are now road-tested and roadskater approved. Last fall we had a go-round with the mf'er over what they delivered...a different sleeveless cut than before. As a result, I had to return a bunch for trimming and resewing. Because of this, I felt I should substitute SHORTsleeve jerseys to all I could who were here for the Tour to Tanglewood weekend, or until those ran out. When it all came down, my little break-even project was and is in the hole by around $600 so far. But we're not done yet! Because I traded SHORTsleeve for sleeveless for those who were here for Tour to Tanglewood last year, I still have 10 of the Tangerine jerseys left, recut and resewn with top quality. While not totally happy with the experience, I've been wearing Tangerine almost all the time this year until the last few days, and it looks and feels great. Some who tried them on chose down a size to make it a tighter fit, but I'm at the same size and it feels fine (please don't snicker that this means I'm even bigger than before). If you're on the border between sizes for the sleeveLESS, go DOWN a size, but only if on the cusp. Send me an email or use the contact form here to send one if the order form is not up and you want to put one of the Tangerines on hold. I can send you an email link to pay. $49 if no shipping required, and actual cost of shipping if we need to do that. Sizes in the order form are suggestions at this point, but I trust these numbers more than the ones I saw online on the sizing chart for the mf'er. I measured my chest at 42" and I'm sure I do not want to go down to the L size, but stay with the XL. Some of that is that I need to keep extra weight around my midsection so skating is not too easy for me; this keeps me from becoming too amazingly fast. But I can see how a person with a 42" chest and slimmer midriff would want L. ___________________________________________________________________________
