Welcome to Retrolica! We are dedicated to providing high-quality, stylish, and comfortable cycling jerseys. Our jerseys are designed with a performance fit, meaning they are snug to reduce wind resistance. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, we recommend sizing up.

How to Measure for the Perfect Fit

Use a flexible measuring tape and stand in a relaxed position. Measure over minimal clothing for best accuracy.

A. Front Length: From top of shoulder down to waist.
B. Back Length: From base of neck down to waist.
C. Chest/Bust: Measure fullest part horizontally.
D. Sleeve Length: From shoulder to wrist with arm slightly bent.

What makes Retrolica cycling jerseys different?

Are your cycling jerseys good quality

Yes. Our jerseys are made from lightweight, breathable micro-mesh with moisture-wicking performance. They include three rear pockets, a full-length zipper, silicone gripper hem, reflective details, and durable sublimation graphics.

How do I choose the right size?

Use the size guide on the product page and compare your chest/bust measurement with the chart. We offer men’s and women’s sizes from XS–5XL. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up.

Do you offer women's cycling jerseys

Yes. Our women’s cycling jerseys (XS–5XL) feature a tailored fit with a narrower waist and adjusted sleeve length for better comfort.

What if the size isn't right?

We offer size exchanges within 30 days of delivery. Email support@retrolica.com with your order number and the size you need.

How should I wash my cycling jersey

Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle and turn the jersey inside out. Use mild detergent, avoid bleach, and hang dry or tumble dry low.

Will the colors fade after washing?

No. Our jerseys use sublimation printing, which keeps colors vibrant even after many washes.

Most orders arrive within 7–15 business days depending on your location. A tracking number will be emailed once your order ships.

Premium Lightweight Breathable Fabric

Engineered breathable micro-mesh delivers superior moisture-wicking performance and exceptional airflow, keeping you cool and dry even during the hottest climbs — just like the pros of the golden era, only better.

Three Spacious Rear Cargo Pockets

Deep, reinforced pockets with clean bar-tack stitching provide secure, easy-access storage for gels, phone, keys, pump, and wind vest — the classic race-ready layout trusted by legends on every Grand Tour stage.

Full-Length Concealed Zipper

Sleek, discreet zipper glides smoothly from collar to hem, offering complete ventilation control and a clean, vintage-respecting silhouette that looks sharp whether you’re riding or off the bike.

Grippy Silicone Elastic Bottom Hem Tape

Wide anti-slip silicone gripper tape sewn into the bottom hem locks the jersey firmly in place through aggressive sprints, hard efforts, and long descents — no riding up, no bunching, pure focus on the road ahead.
