Then it is perhaps fitting the the "L'Eroica" short sleeve wool jersey I bought at the ride a few years ago has 3 front and 3 rear pockets. And comes out of the wash more wrinkled than any other jersey I own. but the burgundy with white chest stripe is great with a turtleneck under it for Fall rides.

In 1972 I bought a Faema jersey at Velo Sport in Berkeley with front pockets but by the time I was buying jerseys from Gianni in 1974 they had disappeared. Phil Brown Still have it in Oakland, calif.
