I don't know the answer to your question, but I prefer this style for esthetic reasons. I also prefer front pockets- best place to keep a cell phone. Josh Berger Bronx, NY USA

Dear CR people and historians--
Does anyone have any knowledge about the fashion of shirt-type collars on the jerseys of the professional (and I presume amateur) racers? Very popular in the forties and still appearing in the early fifties, but sometime in the mid- to late-fifties seemed to have disappeared completely. Did Coppi appear one spring with a cuff-type neck, and therefore everyone else switched? Or did the Italian jersey makers figure out how to make a nice cuff neck and its adoption become obvious?
If this question is interesting and appropriate for the list, I have a couple of others which can't be answered by the record books.
