custom fit jerseys

I'm looking to get a custom fit jersey. My body is thin but tall and it's hard to get a jersey that fits and is tight on me. A medium seems to be my size. It's a little too baggy on the chest area and the length is a little short but not too bad. If I go to a large, it's way too baggy and a small is like a belly shirt on me.

Does anyone know if there are any sites or anything that will custom size a jersey for you according to your body anatomy?

Take a jersey that is the right length to your DRY CLEANER ... have the seamstress (they all have one to do alterations ...) re-stitch the side seams ... do this, the first time, with a jersey that has a full zipper so you can still get in-and-out of the jersey!

BE VERY EXPLICIT so they understand what you want done ... measure twice, cut once.

A little looser (by an inch) is PROBABLY better than too tight ... that way, you can wear an undershirt OR bibs and not feel constricted ... OR, you can chow down over the Winter and still wear the jersey the following Spring!

You could try Nike jerseys - my husband is tall and thin with a long torso (he's 6'4"😉 and a medium fits him quite snugly (they are dark blue with black and make him look very very thin), but is still long enough. One caveat - they may not be sized the same any longer as the ones he has are models from several years ago so try to go somewhere that you can try them on.
