I'm wondering about them too. Their "semi-custom" option looks promising. Easy to do a one-off or small run of custom-lettered jerseys.

I had one of their long sleeved jerseys. It didn't hold up well at all. Got maybe a year of use in my rotation until I tossed it out.

I've been eyeing a Flying Scot jersey they make, but the $175 price tag has kept me from pulling the trigger. I haven't heard much about them, other than a few mentions of them being very high quality, as you would expect from the price. Your experience is discouraging. :-(

That's a shame that it didn't hold up well. I mean, it sounds quaint that they are basically hand crafted in New Zealand. Maybe they come with a warranty? Any chance you could send it back and have it repaired?

(unused) from a friend who got it as a part of a package deal with a Bici Italia tour he and his wife did a few years ago. He is allergic to wool.
your results may be different than mine, i tend to be kind of hard on my stuff. I overstuff pockets and have been know to have taken a fall or two..

If you're looking for a custom jersey I can heartily recommend Cima Coppi. They will make a custom jersey for a very fair price and will even do it in a custom size if that is needed. They made this for me last year....front and back pockets and the lettering is embroidered. The cost was not much more than an off the rack one from Woolistic. FWIW I went with the medium weight.
