More about chain stitch embroidery here: https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...lettering.html

Also got this Sergal wool jersey from the 70's which I love. Similar to the Danish national jersey from that time, but that may be coincidental - it's made in Italy. Unfortunately it has been shrinking over time (seriously!) and the zip is wrecked, so I don't think I'll be able to wear it anymore:

Wool can often be easy to "block".

Wash by hand in hot water then carefully stretch and blot blot out on clean towels, restretch a few times while it dries keeping it sprawled out on the towels.

You should be able to find someone to fix the zipper, find a tailor or seamstress that takes on small projects, you can ask at suit shops, dry cleaners and higher end clothing stores, Nordstrom, Macys and the like.
