Maiden Voyage

First ride in the new jersey. They arrived today and I went over to Randy's to check out the order and everything looks good. Next week we will be distributing the shirts to those who purchased in our group order.

They look awesome and are top quality! I was comfortable in the 90 degree heat on my ride home.

After the Ride:

Any of these ideas look appealing?

I talked with customer service at Mt Borah today. They are working on getting the go ahead on my submitted artwork from their graphics department. I expect to hear back soon whether or not I need to make any changes, etc.

In the meantime watch this:

Artwork Submitted

I submitted the artwork to Mt. Borah this evening via their web form. I will call them tomorrow to see if there are any file issues and see if I can get a set price quote. We now have 20 total, 11 of the Team Fit and 9 of the Club Fit.

Club Fit Display Demo

Here is the Club cut.

Please note that the display here is not exact and the graphics will be aligned more precisely on the real shirt. I tried to demo this by placing the 2D template over a 3D representation. The graphics people at Mt Borah will provide a 3D proof prior to production.

Argonne Cycling Jersey - ORDER DETAILS

Here is the jersey as it will be. Actually this is the Team Fit template and the Club Fit will be ever so slightly different. I will post that as soon as I create it (a lot of cutting and pasting).

Here is the deal from Mt. Borah PLEASE READ THIS OVER CAREFULLY:

Minimum order is six. Each "style" is a unique order.
For example: 

• Men's Short Sleeve Club Fit is one order
• Women's Short sleeve Team Fit is one order

As it stands now we have:

• 7 men requesting Team fit (one was either)
• 4 men requesting Club (Relaxed) fit
• 1 man did not specify
• 1 woman did not specify
• 1 woman requesting Team fit
• 1 woman requesting Club fit
• 2 men interested but not committed

Mt. Borah Customer service says that it is very common for women to were the men's cuts. 

I have one woman who has accepted the men's Team cut. The other two women will have to decide. 

I believe that the Club cut is much like a polo or T-shirt so if you are a woman and have comfortably worn a men's polo or T-Shirt this will probably be OK. They claim that the men's Team fit is OK for women too. Please call Mt. Borah if you have any concerns about women fitting in a men's cut.

One other helpful possibility for any individual in any "order" who does not want that waist elastic - that can be left out of that individual shirt at no addition expense and does not constitute another order. I understand that this can help for those that might be a little wider at the bottom than at the top (please for give me for being so descriptive).

Once we prepay they will ship out a sizing kit and we can all try on different sizes to know what will fit best for each  individual. (You will not have the opportunity to switch from Team to Club or vice-versa at that time ).

As soon as I know shipping and tax info and we get our final count, I will collect funds. It looks like the shirt price will be 82.50 plus shipping (no tax collected).

A Men's (unisex) Team fit order is a certain thing.

I am pretty sure that we will get the Men's (unisex) Club fit pulled together also.

If we get more women to commit we can get women specific cuts.
