Was thinking of adding to my Jersey Collection - Road Holland?

Yeah, they look nice. I like it that they don't make you look like a roadie, yet are somewhat longer cut in the back. And being Dutch I like the orange.

 

But i would not call a 61%polyester/39% merino wool blend WOOL.

Any idea where they are made? I'd guess China?

Website says "now made in the USA" -- I'm going to go for it; I need a full zip jersey anyway.

 

Found this video on their blog about their factory:  http://vimeo.com/21974759

That's good. I guess that makes the premium price a little more bearable

 

Let us know how they work for you. There is not enough orange jerseys on the market...

Road Holland has been available for a number of years now, and the reviews online indicate that their jerseys are high quality, with attention to detail, and are made in Miami. Also, my main concern with the wool/poly blend (smell) appears to be unwarranted.

 

They have a 20% sale going on through Valentines day. See their website.

I might just have to buy one.  If nothing else, I can wear it while watching the World Cup games this summer :)

Smell was my main concern, so it's good to hear another report about it not being an issue.

I have several Road Holland jerseys in long and short-sleeve that I have accumulated over the years.  They are fantastic.  I wear them a lot and they have held up really well, both construction-wise and color-wise (and I don't always heed the care advice on the label).  The wool blend jerseys are great in hot weather - no smell.  And they're classy to boot.

What's the good word? ;)

I remember that Lovely Bicycle! reviewed a Road Holland jersey on her blog perhaps last year or so.
