Regular readers of The DV Digest might have noticed its been a couple of weeks since I’ve posted a “I Will Not Buy” list. There’s a couple of reasons for that. 1) I’ve started to feel weird about being just another thing recommender here on the internet. Who needs it? 2) I’ve been busy.
But recently, I found myself deep on the fourth tab of an eBay search, having more fun online shopping than I had ever had. I didn’t buy anything (yet), but I figured if I had fun digging through the digital crates, you might have fun looking over my shoulder.
So, without any further ado, a bunch of vintage cycling jerseys that I have found over the last few days. They are (mostly) men’s XXLs (jerseys are cut super small, so you usually have to size up from your t-shirt). A boon for any readers who share my bodacious proportions.
Voler Fat Tire Amber Ale Cycling Jersey, $31.15, XXL /// Vintage logo is absolute gas, cannot believe they ever changed it. Also … a biking jersey with a bike on it! Perfection!
Adrenaline University of Chicago Cycling Jersey Mens, XXL, $32.98 /// Midwest Ivy stolen valor. Perfect gift for your brainy friend who couldn’t get off the waitlist.
Brainstorm Gear Sesame Street Oscar the Grouch Cycling Jersey, XXL, $30.58 /// I LOOOOOOVE TRASH!!!!
Santini South Australia Kangaroo Cycling Jersey, XXL, $40.04 /// “You’re a tough little guy aren’t you!”
VOMax Sierra Nevada Brewing Company Cycling Jersey, XXL, $34.84 // A completely fine IPA makes for a suprisingly hard jersey.
VOMax Top Banana Cycling Jersey, XXL, $22.83 /// Check out all the back pockets … there’s always money in the banana jersey.
Castelli Garmin-Sharp (2014(ish?) season) Team Cycling Jersey, XXL, $55 /// It’s pretty hard to find actual world tour team jerseys for sale, at least in this size. Cycling is a sport that’s notorious for an obsession on making yourself extremely tiny, so that you can expend less effort to get your body up a hill. So I was pretty happy to spot this jersey. This team, now known as EF Education-Easy Post, is one of the only American squads in the peloton. Even if their men’s team is decidedly mid—the women own—they’re still fun to rep.
