FAQ's
Why a short front?
Because when I sit in the boat I don't need gobs of fabric flapping around
my belly.
How snug should I wear it?
As snug as you can. Technical properties work best when there is no airspace
between you and the fabric.
What fabric is best for my team?
Choose a fabric depending on these factors: climate; team colors; worn while
racing or training; buff factor...
How custom can JL get with these shirts?
Well...we do a lot of things that aren't seen on this website--it would be
hard to show them all! It doesn't hurt to ask!
Where can I get a JL?
The real, actual, original JL is only sold by JL.
"My
best new products have seemed to me so perfect for their
intended use, that they must have been around forever.
My favorite creations for cold weather wear, the JL workout
shirt and the turtleshell, both had their starts in sunny
Newport Beach. Chip McKibbon (US national team, 6 years;
Gold medal in men's eight) was for many years my local
testing body for fabrics, suits, and special projects.
Chip helped me to finalize several fitting and fabric choices,
and one day he came up with a solution to a dilemma of
mine -- I wanted a garment that could be worn specifically
under a unisuit, be protective, and not bunch. In his travels,
Chip had acquired a shirt that stretched! Just that one
concept made it possible for all the pieces to start falling
into their proverbial places. Ken researched fabrics while
I furiously made pattern after pattern. We argued features:
function versus fashion; geekiness versus cool. "No one
will buy it." "Let's take a risk." A year or so later,
the next generation appeared on a not so cold day when
I simply sliced the arms off of one of my Coolmax longsleeves.
Months later, I took a handy wire cutter from a workbench
at the boathouse and made the final pattern change to the
shortsleeve shirt when I slashed a v-neck into the collar.
Much better."
