So, for a number of years I’ve hankered for a 90’s Claud Butler jersey, one of these;
And one day my patience was rewarded with one appearing on ebay… advertised as large…
I wasn’t disappointed in the condition, but as you can see, this “Large” jersey is a comfortable fit for a 12-year-old, but not for someone of my proportions…. :cry:
Never mind, it’s a nice bit of retro and my lad was well chuffed with it. I thought maybe I could get one made up but soon discovered one offs are a bit pricey, and only really possible if you can supply artwork, none of the companies wanted to get into ‘art working’ then Regan started the Mountain Mayhem jersey thread and this got me thinking…could I sneak a bespoke jersey on the back of the big Mayhem order?
I didn’t know Regan from Adam, so I wasn’t sure how he would respond to my PM asking for help.
Anyway, cutting a long story short, and after a bunch of photos and chats about not being able to exactly copy the fabric, or the panelling we got to a happy compromise;
In my opinion, I think Regan did a cracking job…. Me and the lad had a cracking evenings ride..
