Halfway House (in a good way)

The description of being midway between Euro and US cut is very accurate. I'm a 37" chest, and medium in jerseys as a rule. This sits right in the middle of the club cut and race cut offerings of my previous team kit. Sleeves slightly loose (I'm a puncheur build, not sprinter or mountain goat) but not flappy. I've found jerseys with tight sleeve hems end up riding up towards the shoulder during a ride, so this Twin Six fit works better. Not baggy in the chest, but not skinsuit fit. Decent in-between length too (I'm 170cm, but long in the body). The pockets are a touch narrower than I'm used to, but all my usual gear fits, and I might even argue that it feels a little more secure.
And it's not just the fit that falls into a useful middle ground. The design does it as well, avoiding planet generic, but nowhere near vomit land either. Finish seems very good (one loose thread by collar only). Overall I'm very pleased and will buy more from the brand, and would get it from Always Riding even if they weren't the only UK distributor.
