And the samples are in...

Samples are in and we are ready to test.  Although the designs/logos need some work, the jersey/ glove/short styles are good to go for phase I.  So please provide feedback.  One step closer Team Groucho...one step closer.

    Shorts look great, and I'm excited for the sleeveless. Will be honest and say that I've never ever used gloves before, but there's a first time for everything!!

    If you guys are at all in need of a "tester" ... I'd be more than willing to help spread the name and do a review on my blog!

    I love the striped shorts. Are you ever going to add a punch of color?

    I agree - they look great. And I'll be a "tester" too!

    The gear does look great! Some color would be nice though...

    And I'd love to be a tester too :-). Especially with the shorts!

    I second what Ashley and Doretha said - will they come in other colors?

    Other things I think about before picking out my gear:
    I'm assuming they do, but do the tops have pockets on the back? Zippered or open? Do the shorts have a little built in pocket? Are there separate M/F cuts and sizing? Do they come in XS?

    Looking good! I too wondered if the jerseys had pockets in the back. Open to test also.

    Thank you for the comments! Yes, we will be looking for testers! We'll let you all know when we are ready to move forward on this. Also, we do plan to have a full color line. What you see shows our very first designs. There is much more to come! We are partnering with local artists, including one that will be working on a VERY colorful line. Finally, jerseys have standard pockets across the back. The shorts do not have a pocket, but we'll be considering this on future pieces. Thank you again friends! The time you took to comment is very much appreciated. Please stay tuned!!

    Groucho, on the shorts, are all the seems just for looks, or are you using multiple panels? The top pair, with the seem cutting across the chamoise doesn't quite look right as a result (imo).

    Will sizing go up to 2X jersey and XL shorts?

    I think shorts will be the hard thing to sell on-line unless you can give a real good feel for the padding in the chamoise. And even then, with limited returns (it is limited by state law, kinda like swim suits, right?), if there's a chance it won't feel right, then people may be reluctant to buy. (This shouldn't be the case w/ jerseys.) I know I have been tempted to buy shorts on line, but then I saw the restrictions on returns and didn't want to risk it.

    Good luck!
