Hello Neil and List, Due to public demand I have put some pictures of a front pocketed Wool jersey I have in a more than appropiate wool jersey album. For tailoring purposes I also can send detailed measurements to any List member that is interested.
Check the pics here:

I think they look drawn on, too. I'm really looking for knitted jerseys
with front, button-fastening pockets. They certainly exist - there's a photo in the Brooks Saddles catalogue for 2006 of a guy wearing one at L'Eroica. He's riding an Alcyon, and wearing a pale blue long-sleeve cycling jersey with front pochets and side buttoned neck fastening, embroidered "Alcyon" and another word, which may or may not be "Dunlop". It looks to be a very nice jersey, and I wonder who made it.
He's also wearing a pre-war style cycling cap, and again, I'd like to find one of this pattern.
About the only thing I really need drawn on a cycling jersey is some decent muscle definition...
