La Vie Claire jersey
Moderators: robbosmans, Moderator Team
I've searched through Santini's website but it seems that they no longer sell this iconic jersey.
Seen it on AliExpress but I wish that I could buy a better one, with better fabrics and hopefully a modern remake of it with a slim fit.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

Cycle Marcarini have been doing vintage jersey for 20+ years.

Now not sure if that’s an historical cut (quite loose per todays stds) or a bit modernised.

Prenda's are always a good shout for retro team kit. They are the official retailer for a lot of teams in the UK: https://www.prendas.co.uk/products/sant ... ing-jersey

Prendas was bought out in the past year, and it looks like the new owners are phasing out Santini and replacing with their owm house brand. Still have some Santini, but limited sizes.
Thanks for the tip. Opted for this. Even if is outside the UE they state that they pay for all taxes.
Jersey even has a full zipper which is a recent addition and a nice one to have.
Paid 79€ with shipping, which is not that bad if the fabrics turn out to be good as many costumers pointed out.

I bought the LaVieClaire kit and the Mapei kit over the summer and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality... is it top quality kit? No, but definitely better than the price suggests. For me, they were both a more modern fit just in the classic graphics, which is actually what I was hopping for.naavt wrote: ↑Tue Dec 13, 2022 10:47 pmThanks for the tip. Opted for this.

Great to know. That was exactly what I was looking forCrankAddictsRich wrote: ↑Wed Dec 14, 2022 12:44 amI bought the LaVieClaire kit and the Mapei kit over the summer and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality... is it top quality kit?

Hmmm... just received the shipping confirmation from Hills and Mountains and the jerseys comes from China.
Looking at AliExpress pictures they are exactly the same and the price is cut to 1/4. Feeling that something was off, I went to the H&M return policy and... they haven't one! They accept no returns!
So now I'm expecting AliExpress quality for 4x it's price. Bummer!

Retro-cyclingjerseys https://retro-cyclingjerseys.com/produc ... ire-redted in the NL has a couple of options. The RedTed version is a modern fit, the standard version is more of a "club cut". Good quality, good people to deal with.
after 2 drinks I'm a loser, after 3 a star

Are they just selling the jerseys sold (made?) by "New YT CYCLE Store" at AliExpress?Cosmo wrote: ↑Tue Dec 20, 2022 10:30 pmRetro-cyclingjerseys https://retro-cyclingjerseys.com/produc ... ire-redted in the NL has a couple of options.

I don't know which ones you're looking at on Ali, but if they're the same ones that Hammertime linked to below, then no... the ones that I received are not the same as that. The sleeves on the jerseys I got from H&T are a mesh similar to these from Cuore. I was not expecting anything quality, but I was surprised. Would I buy any more? Probably not... I only bought these because I wanted a LVC and Mapei.naavt wrote: ↑Tue Dec 20, 2022 10:37 amHmmm... just received the shipping confirmation from Hills and Mountains and the jerseys comes from China.
