I got my gear from Metro.
Their website is crap, but email them and they'll get back to you.
Jersey and pants for under 200 bucks delivered.

Don't forget. Their sizes are huge. If you normally wear XL jerseys, you will need to order large or you can use the XL as a quick shade.

Interesting to hear, QLD.
With the stuff that I bought a few weeks ago, I found the sizes to be spot on with other gear I've bought from other manufacturers.
How long ago did you buy your gear, and what did you buy? Maybe different styles are sized differently?

I've been caught myself on a shirt that was supposed to be medium ..it was fricken' huuuuge! (not the metro gear)

Below is a chart to help compare the sizing. (5 different methods on 4 different continents) As it also states, sizes will and do vary between manufacturers

Destroy Clothing in the UK made me up some period Martini race shirts. Realistic prices, prompt delivery. I would use him again no worries. Cheers Jerry

Great to see and hear that people are thinking about looking period, l hope it follows through to more.

Bummer I just ordered some metro stuff off ebay, hope it's not to big as I already have a quick shade

JEBEZ!!!!!  Had just ordered some mx gear from metro just before i saw this thread.  It arrived today and OMG the jersey is freakin massive!!!!!!

Pants are spot on but the freakin' jersey is freakin' massive!!  MASSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone tried to return them or should I just cut my loses and use it as a pit tent/car cover/spinaker any suggestions?

[oldfart]

Doc, the shirts are made of cotton and tend to stain easy are are hard to remove.

Steve234, what size did you order?
Asked euroclassics what the sizes were like & gave them a chest measurement of 40" without chest protector, they said a large measures 29" across the armpits which would be about 58". Measured with chest protector & still only 25" across so I can see what you'd mean by big.
Pity they don't do smaller than a large 

[steve234]

Tony, I went for an extra large because I just got some under jersey armour and my current large is skin tight with it on.

Shoulders measure 27"
Armpits 30", and
waist 24"

just like He-Man! ha ha.
