I'm looking for mid-weight (typical winter jersey weight) sweater and vest for mid-layering in cold weather; something to wear over a jersey and, if need be, under a shell. I'm looking in both cases for designs with high, zipped or buttoned necks, like the Rivendell Wooly Warm vest and its long-sleeved cousin.
Wool, of course; and cut trim but not tight (this rules out just getting another winter jersey in a large size), and long. No need for pockets. Neutral, medium to dark colors. Anyone? Thanks, Patrick PS: Anecdote about what a good tailor can do for one's riding pants. A couple of year ago I bought 2 pr of Endura riding pants from an online source in Spain; good price: $140 each, a considerable markdown. I ordered Large per their sizing chart. Alas, the stupid things were cut in hipster jeans style, that is, with very low waist, even though the rear was "cut for cycling and did rise higher than the (absurdly low) front. And of course, though the size charge said that the waist sizes they would fit included 34, in fact they must have been 38s. I had them altered by a tailor who did a sh*t job, but just recently took them in to a new tailor shop nearby. The young man did something to the waist that makes them fit perfectly -- albeit too low, still. He also cleaned up the work done by the earlier tailor. But now 90+/100 instead of 70/100. I left pr #2 for the same treatment and wore pr #1 today for a nice early-winter ride (40 high, windy, damp). -- *------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* *Still 'round the corner there may waitA new road or a secret gate,And though we pass them by today,Tomorrow we may come this wayAnd take the hidden paths that runTowards the Moon or to the Sun.* --- J.R.R.
