Deconstructing the Cycling Jersey
Because I wanted to have easy access to camera, I decided to wear the foc jersey I got from OCBC cycle. But it doesnt fit me well. Too tight ard the arms, too tight ard the waist. Felt like wearing saran wrap likedat.
So, I decided to snip off the sleeves by cutting a straight line up from the armpits to the shoulders. Result: capped sleeves. Simple right? I do it all the time.
Goddamnit! Boru should have left it like that.
But I wanted more! I wanted SLEEVELESS!
Unfortunately, a tailor I am not. The lack of info on Instructibles and youtube didn’t deter me. I like digging deep deep holes.
Let me count the ways it went wrong:
1. 4 boobs better than 2?
I marked the point where my shoulders ended… and cut from the armpit to that point. Logical right? Instant sleeveless right? NO!
Result: I ended up with some extra cloth coming from my armpit which makes me look I got a boob hanging from my armpit.
2. Nobody notices small boobs.
I then decided to trim more of the “extra” cloth to make it less “extra” - you know what I mean?
Result: Armhole so big, my ENTIRE real boob can be seen.
Anyhoo, I will wear it the next time we go cycling. And get somebody to take a pix of this monstrosity hanging off my bodacious frame.
