    I'm looking for an 80s or early 90s team jacket and just lost out on a PDM Ultima jacket on eBay. Anybody have suggestions for where I might find one or something similar (size: Fat Man)?

    Thanks lads. They're out of my price range though. Should have stuck it out on eBay. Mind you I could get them under the cycle to work scheme

    Worth bearing in mind that the Prendas kit are recreations in modern fabrics. To be honest this is not a bad thing, I have a couple of pristine vintage jerseys from the 1980s and while they look great in terms of comfort they are not a patch on even the cheapest modern kit. One of them is Assos so it is not as if it was a dodgy jersey, clothing really has just advanced a lot since then. Basically they are slightly scratchy, not as breathable and have very short zips. Mind you of course they are 25 years old, I don't know what my modern kit will be like at that age :)

    Very good point. I'll look into it. It seems I can get the stuff ynder the cycle to work scheme too so win all round.

    The suggested sights have the PDM jerseys but not the jackets. Anymore suggestions welcome.
