“Top is 5 out of 5 perfect fit lovely print. Would buy again . Shorts not as nice or good as fat lad shorts ,missing the drawstring cord for waist. And just not as nice with no patern. Won't buy shorts again at price unless you alter colour choices and waistband design.”
Thanks so much for your feedback and I’m really pleased to hear you loved the top!
With the shorts, they were designed as a plain purple pair, so the colour and lack of pattern were shown in the photos before purchase. This was our first test run of a fully coloured short, made in a small batch using high-quality Italian Lycra the same quality and weight as the Fat Lad shorts.
The drawstring was also removed from our shorts some time ago, as it was causing more faff than function by coming out in the wash and being tricky to re-thread. The waistband is designed to stay put when the correct size is worn, so it really shouldn’t be needed.
This is still a young business, less than a year old, so I'm doing our best to bring people new options while keeping prices as fair as possible. We don’t yet have the huge range of choices that a long-established brand like FLAB had, but we’re getting there one pair of purple shorts at a time.
Of course, if the shorts are unworn and still have the tags attached, you’re welcome to return them.
Thanks again for taking the time to review noted, logged, and filed under “purple, but not jazzy enough.”
“Hi
I have not yet seen the jersey because I am abroad until November and it is waiting for me at my UK address. If it is of the same quality as the FLAB jerseys I have had for some years, and still wear, am confident I will like it. I cannot therefore give it a star rating yet so have opted for four in order to submit this review.
Best Derek”
“Realluy appreciated FLAB's selection for those of us on the larger side of life who still enjoy getting out on the bike. Quality and design are good - and the price point is a good balance with value.”
“I purchased 3 tops, size 50, perfect size. Very pleased.
I also purchased a pair of shorts and a BIB.
Unfortunately theses were returned as too big, awaiting a refund.”
“Item arrived quickly, however, after ordering the largest size available it was still too small and not true to size which was disappointing. Return was simple, had to pay postage and refund was issued promptly.”

“I was recommended your shop from a friend here in Norway. As I was in need of a new bum-protector for this years rides, I gave it a go. So far it fits good, has good protection, an I really love the high waist. It’s pretty pricey for me to buy from you, because of the taxes, but all in all a good purchase I must say. Now I will compare how long it lasts compared to other shorts I have owned previously. Thnx! 🤩”
“The jacket was a little tight around the middle which did surprise me having several other jackets and tops from both mans and tall & large range . Very comfortable and warm”
