Back to the Future: Retro wool jersey from Borah Teamwear

The request was simple. Make it as a retro as you can. The folks at Borah Teamwear in Coon Valley, Wisc., certainly delivered.

The company is rolling out a new line of custom long- and short-sleeve merino wool jerseys this fall, and based on how well our regular team kit turned out, we figured we’d give these pieces of equipment a whirl as a functional “fashion” piece.

Borah touts the wool jersey as able to keep the “body warm in cold weather and cool in hot weather, and can be used as a layering or standalone piece for riding or even racing.”

Depending on how you layer, the functional temperature range of the jersey is from about 35-70F, according to the company.

Look of this piece of gear to start showing up on some of our riders later this fall.
