XXS CYCLING JERSEY!!!

    Hi all, I'm at wits end trying to find a jersey that will fit skin-tight on me for racing. I understand, I'm probably the least available size ANYWHERE! My chest measures in and around 86cm, a size that is stocked by no-one. Could anyone suggest jerseys (preferably neutral colours, black etc) that go down to this size? Or is custom clothing the way to go? I've thought about Large boys clothing too, but they are all in a relaxed 'club' fit. There must be something out there!!
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Did you try TK Maxx? They regularly have XXS jerseys often in black or white (usually in Dare2B or Sugoi brands).

    You really have to visit regularly as the cycling stuff goes very quickly except for the XXS stuff in my experience!. I've seen the same XXS jerseys languishing on the shelves in St Stephen's Green and Swords for weeks at a time.

    Italian stuff (e.g. Santini, Castelli) should be fine.

    e.g.

    http://www.prendas.co.uk/details.asp?typ=tea&fkid=48&ID=2761

    ...goes down to 32-34in chest.

    (edit: obviously not suitable for open racing, but it's just an example)

    I have a small campagnolo jersey that fits the description if you're interested. Been trying to shrink into it but even at my slimmest it's not happening.

    It's white and blue.

    Great kit if it suits. Doesn't give the metric size for xs , but small comes close.€42 delivered for the top and bibs.

    You'd be a small in Rapha jerseys, XS is <85cm.

    i would suggest a verge primo jersey would fit you in xs

    i have only verge branded ones in stock so you will have to get your club to convert to verge!!!:D

    I agree on the verge front real AERO and you have a great pro look. Great shorts as well.

    Have another go in tkmaxx I know there was a few xxs last time I was there. Try sale rail and outsdoor as well as sports section. Sometimes staff put them with shorts. I think some don't know what they are.

    I was in the St Stephen's Green area this morning and called into TK Maxx. I only stayed for a minute or so (because of the crowds) and saw 4 XS cycling jerseys. As the bouldwhacker says, the staff don't always seem to know what they are and they can be distributed over several sections.

    I've got two of those XS jerseys from TK Maxx, Briko branded. They're pretty tight and are a stretchy skinsuit type material rather than a plain meshy type, I think I have a 33" or 83-84cm chest, they fit rather well and my rear pockets aren't hanging over my arse like with larger jerseys. They're so stretchy and tight that I have to do a bit of yoga when taking them off. XS in Craft jerseys also suit me.
