I've been in contact with Woolistic and I've gotten a price quote for a wool version of the blue/white/green with red white stripe and the Carlos Duque designed SFR logo.
I've gotten some suggestions recently so I thought I'd put out everything and see where the greatest interest lies.
I want to see if people are interested in getting another run of San Francisco Randonneur Jerseys. I'm attaching a photo of the most current design in long sleeve.
> having several designs out there I believe will dilute the effect of our affiliation.
Why not consider the design of the existing (black) wool jerseys for this new run?
Also, would the "2011 PBP Team" embroidery, if offered, be optional?
-Greg
Would the runs include women's sizing (and not just unisex?)
Design No. 1
Voler makes several products. Jerseys in long and short sleeve. Wind
Jackets. Vests. Arm Warmers. Gloves. Shoe Covers. They do other items
but for now we need to limit it to tops.
To do a Voler Order we'll need at least 15 items. I'm attaching the
Voler price list. The "stock" jersey has a club cut, a hidden zipper that
opens about 1/2 of the front. is a conventional polyester fabric. They
will do upgrades to SQ Pro "Elite" fabric for an up charge. Ditto for
full length Zippers.
The vests have pockets. The wind jackets don't but fold into a very small
package.
I'd like to see what the interest is in
Voler
Short Sleeve Jerseys (specify "regular" or "elite" (knowing there is a $20
up charge))
Long Sleeve Jerseys
Wind Vests
Wind Jackets
Arm Warmers
Gloves
Shoe Covers.
Prices are would depend on Volume Ordered. I'm attaching the Voler Price
List. For purposes of this invitation assume the smallest volumes. If
the interest is high enough prices will drop a small amount.
I inquired about three Woolistic products. All are wool. They are:
Short Sleeve Jersey
Long Sleeve Jersey
Trainer.
The trainer is essentially a wool jacket or a light wool zippered sweater.
The fabric is a tad heavier than the jersey. The weave may be coarser
than the jersey knit. There is a full length zipper in the front. the
bottom is ribbed to hug your waist/hips. I had a trainer top from a club
I belonged to years ago. I wore that as everyday wear.
Woolistic is quoting the following prices for a minimum order of 35 items
$85 for Short Sleeve
$90 for Long Sleeve
$95 for the Trainer
Jack Holmgren is suggesting we offer a 2011 PBP commemoration. I am
thinking that this could take the form of extra text on the left breast
area that reads. "2011 Paris Brest Paris Team." It would be embroidered
on the wool items and stenciled on the Voler. No price yet. I'm guessing
$15-$20 more. Let me know your interest.
Finally. Our resident designer, Carlos Duque, is suggesting we deviate
from the current design and offer a different color scheme.
I am attaching some options Carlos has graciously created. Thanks
Carlos. These colors have not yet been vetted through Voler or Woolistic
and the final colors may deviate a bit. Voler has a greater range of
colors than Woolistic and as such a side by side comparison between a
Voler and a Woolistic will likely result in some color tonal variation.
For purposes of this invitation the attached images are the options. A
single design will be ordered for Woolistic and a single design with Voler
assuming we reach the minimums. It is possible that the Voler design and
the Woolistic design are different. I would prefer that they all be the
same. There aren't that many of us San Francisco Randonneurs so having
several designs out there I believe will dilute the effect of our
affiliation. The most requested design will be made, even if the Wool and
Poly versions are different.
Voler Orders take 5-8 Weeks. Woolistic, who uses chinese subcontractor,
will deliver by around Xmas time if we get an order in by Mid August.
Let me know your interest in the next week or so. If you know that some
people are on vacation and may not see this in the next week let me know.
I will report the response results during the week of August 2nd then
narrow the offer. At that point I'll ask if you are still interested. If
so, I'll be in touch, and will need a 50% deposit in another 5-7 days.
After that,assuming minimums are reached, orders will be made.

| Objecting to the use of the word 'team' for reasons of decency. If we say the word team, we should not have the french piping on the sleeves. One or the other, and I'm more okay with the piping than the 'team' concept, which has the connotation of competition. Regards! Mike |
Thanks for all of your hard work on pulling this together.
I would like a short sleeve, full zip, club cut "traditional" colored
jersey from both Woolistic and from Voler (using regular material).
I would also like a wind vest (same color scheme) and a set of arm
warmers.
Regarding the PBP commemoration, it seems like a good idea, although I
am completely on the fence as to whether I give it a go or not.
Thanks again.

It is a ZIP file that you'll need to download and expand but it also
contains a bunch on non relevant stuff. For your convenience I am
attaching only the relevant graphics.
Don't know if we would need permission from ACP to do this but we
could easily modify any of them to be a single color to keep cost
down, even remove the tiny text that would be unreadable anyway and
just keep the round shape and the Paris Brest Paris and add 2011. Let
me know if you want me to work on that.
Carlos
Bingo. I wouldn't want to endlessly explain that I did not, in fact,
go to PBP despite what the jersey said. I'd only be able to
legitimately wear such a jersey if it came with a big "POSEUR" label
on it. :P
Why not issue a patch to folks to sew to their jerseys after
*returning* from PBP? Or do a commemorative post-PBP version for
anciens?
-Greg
However this jersey could also serve as a remainder of the 2011 series
for riders not going to PBP. I guess I could go either way, I tend to
go with jerseys that are simple and without to much stuff on them.
Cost could be the determining factor for me.

Hi Todd,
I'm interested in both a Voler club cut short sleeve jersey with full
length zipper and a wind vest.
My other club/team (team spike the wonder dog) recently did a Voler
order, and they had a URL where we could create an account, select
what items we wanted (including options like club or race cut, 3/4 or
full length zippers, etc.), and provide payment info. I'm not sure
whether there is an upcharge for this service, but it made our
coordinators' job much easier.
I'm also interested in at least a long sleeve wool jersey. Possibly
a short sleeve as well.
For the Voler kit, I'd prefer keeping the existing green/white/blue;
building a "brand identity" for SFR.
Although I hope to go, I'm rather not have PBP commemorative logos or
embroidery.

The way I see it, using the current colors on the wool jersey is like
outfitting a nice traditional steel audax/randonneuring/constructeur
bike with all carbon components, 18 bladed spokes wheels etc, it still
moves but it would be much nicer with the correct components. The
colors should take advantage of the medium in this case wool.
I also get only complements on the good old back/white wool jersey
most people comment on the nice retro look of those. I love to use
black on the designs but some members have expressed concern about
wearing black at night and also getting too hot in the summer. Not me,
I love to wear black but those are valid points.

Carlos,I have liked the Voler jersey design from the start, but must admit that that opinion has also grown over time. I think seeing other riders in the jersey while on other brevets, doubles, etc is one thing that has worked to intensify my reaction. Given that I've come to like that design so well, it is perhaps natural that my first inclination was to prefer it for a wool version as well. However, I think your points about the much different fabric are quite valid.I'm not a huge fan of black jerseys, but I could live with that style for our new wool jersey quite easily and would rely on the reflective gear I use at night to deal with visibility issues.To your comment of keeping the voler design the same and going with something perhaps different for wool, I would second that perspective.rob

Chalk up another vote for the "blueWhiteRed.png" wool version...

36 have indicated a desire to order something.
The Design response has been difficult to tally.
Design 1 (Current Voler Design) 14 firsts, 2 for voler items, 1 Second
Design 2 (redGreenGrey) 2 firsts, 1 for Woolistic, 1 second
Design 3 (blue White Red) 7 firsts, 2 for Woolistic, 3 Second
Design 4 (Blue Red White) 1 first, 1 second, 1 third
Then a woolistic version of the first SF Randonneurs Jersey run from 2007 (Black White and Bridge Logo) - Seven indicated they would order if offered.
There was a strong minority opinion to do the Voler and the Woolistic in different designs. If that were to happen it would be the current design (No. 1) in Voler and Design No. 3 in Woolistic.
The Voler Item Tally is as follows currently: The SS Jersey has 19. The Vest has 8. The wind jacket has 5. Arm Warmers have 4. Gloves have 1
Woolistic Items are as follows. SS Jersey - has 23. the Long Sleeve has 15. The Trainer has 10. Woolistic indicates that the LS/SS Jerseys can be combined to meet the 35 minimum so we're there. If some are still thinking about it let me know.
Two people strongly wanted PBP embroidery. 4 people were interested but not strongly. We got several responses that strongly didn't want PBP embroidery. At this point my inclination is to abandon the idea with the jersey vendors. Local special embroidery may be an option. Someone suggested a patch. That suggestion sent my mind on the way back machine trip - Patches were awarded to finishers of an event rides in the 1960's through the early 90's (maybe even now). Many club cyclists had warm-up or casual jackets full of these patches.
What about a cloisonné pin instead?
Many people didn't indicate the size they need. A few people are still undecided. A few people who expressed interest in wool items in the past have been silent. For now that is ok. But in a few days I will do the "Final"tally and provide direction for next steps.
I've been advised that Voler's prices are determined on the date of shipment. Not Order. So it was suggested the the 2011 Price list be used. So I'm attaching that, now. Sorry. If the new prices change you mind let me know.
