I think that the vintagevelos jerseys are perfect, length wise. I would not refer to them as "Italian", as I bet Alex is tailoring them to American tastes / sizes. They are longer than any of my synthetic jerseys, which all tend to "ride up" in spite of the elastic at the bottom edge. FYIW, Richard Rose 9Toledo, Ohio)

I'm looking forward to the the official announcement,too. My concern is
about size of the jerseys. We Japanese have a reputation of short legs ,
i.e. long trunk. But Italian jerseys were normally too long for us . I
often found they were too long even for Italians and they covered all
hips.
So my team , GS Lupo, ordered for me a special size 2X4 to Vittore
Gianni,
which was size 4 but shorter than normal. After that I could not find
that
special size. Recently I bought L size of Swabo made in U.S.A. It is
just
for me . It is shorter than Italian normal size.(Although it has
non-attactive embroyed mark of Swabo, its quality seems superior to my
Vittore Gianni. Unfortunately Swabo was closed. )
I wish CR jerseys will have same sizes as Swabo. Have some of you ever
had
complaint of the length of Italian jerseys?
