  I am pretty certain that the problem is not with our collective ability to read a sizing chart.  Based on Woolistic's size charts and my measurements, I "should" have ordered a Woman's Small.  I knew better than that, because my PV jersey was a Medium and fit well, if a little loosely.  Accordingly, I went ahead and ordered a Medium despite the size chart's indication that I should be a Small - sadly, the Medium is very, very short and very, very tight on me - I checked the label five times to make sure I had not accidentally recieved an X-Small! I can only imagine how the Small might have fit!  


  Accordingly, my guess is that the trouble other folks are having is not because they did not follow the size chart but, sadly, because they DID.  I feel very badly for Beth, who worked so hard on this, but Woolistic definitely has some explaining to do for what appears to be a massive screw-up at the manufacturing end.  Perhaps if every single one of us called Alex personally and asked what the aitch-ee-double toothpicks happened .   .  .

        Hi Campers:

        The jerseys are going out/getting picked up, and now the comments are coming back from some of you that the sizing isn't what you had expected. I have shared your concerns with Woolistic. As sorry as I am that some of you are unhappy with the sizing, I did advise folks to know their size and to please consult the sizing charts before ordering. I'm not sure that I could've done more than that, and I have no ability to return jerseys in trade for new sizes at this point. 

        The Woolistic factory recently moved to a new location in China and is not yet up to full speed. Any new order would have to meet ANOTHER 40-jersey minimum before being placed; and someone else in the club would have to be willing to take this on if that's the case.

        I would like to encourage you to try and arrange trades between yourselves, as I am unable to send jerseys back at this point. 

        Beth
