Title: Race Jerseys - available in Oz
Post by: Colin Jay on July 06, 2011, 03:37:59 pm: See as now the GCR's require back numbers on riding jerseys, and I am entering the OZ titles, can anyone point me in the direction of an Australian business that does desent race jerseys, as I would prefer to buy from a local source. I am after a appropriate late 70's style Husqvarna jersey to go with the 390 auto I intend to ride.

Thanks,

CJ

Also most graphics companies now do custom back transfers for your jerseys.

Post by: Colin Jay on July 06, 2011, 07:00:19 pm: Putting the number on the back is not the issue, I want to find out if there is anyone here in Oz that actually sells old style MX jerseys, prefferably a vintage Husky style, as I don't want to look like a multi-coloured Rorschach Test!!

Post by: GD66 on July 06, 2011, 07:57:55 pm: Ditto for Metro Racing, have had plenty of good gear from them. Vintage Iron are good too, postage costs from the USA are up lately but the gear's bloody good. Forget shopping local...but any good sports store will sort you out with iron-on numbers for your back...

Post by: LWC82PE on July 06, 2011, 08:06:02 pm: There is a company in UK that makes vintage jerseys
http://www.destroyclothing.co.uk/5.html

also you may want to check out
http://ozvmx.com/community/index.php?topic=15751.0

You might be able to find a plain long sleeve shirt and put your own iron ons too or get a Husky logo printed on. There just is not many options in Australia for pre made vintage jerseys.

Post by: mtbrider on July 06, 2011, 08:17:50 pm: www.mxm.co.uk sell really good Husky Jerseys. These are the coolmax type nylon material and I have found them very good. Could not find anything in Aus.

Post by: Tex on July 07, 2011, 01:49:59 pm: Wandering a bit off topic, but I had a netball bib made up with my back number. That way I could put it over any jersey I wanted, change the jersey if it got soaked halfway through the day etc.

Approx $85.00 ea, that way you can wear whatever you want underneath.
