I have been looking to branch out in brands and wanted to get some advice. I usually wear Rapha Pro Team jerseys in a medium. I like their fit but the lack of color options leaves me wanting more…. However I feel like I have wide shoulders and a fuller chest relative to my waist (29inch) and short height (5’8), which has made finding jerseys and any other fitted tops a little annoying.
I fell for the PNS branding and ordered a few options of jerseys to try on for size and cannot make up my mind on if either of these fit. Both shown are mechanism (black is medium, red is a large), I also grabbed some from the solitude line but I didn’t love the sleeve material. While the black is clearly quite sleek, I am wondering if it is too tight right in my chest area and around my neck. From the side you can see it digs in at my chest some and I feel this a little even when out on a test ride on the bike. However the large just seems a smidge baggy, especially when I am bent over in a riding position. Any thoughts/advice? Do PNS mechanisms jerseys stretch out any with use?
Also I welcome any recs on other options as well for my proportions. While I want to pretend like I am aero and cool and want to be in the if it zips it fits gang, I don’t racer, and would rather prioritize just having something that is functional and admittedly makes me nice to look at while out having fun on rides.
Thanks

Their Mechanism line is their race fit line. Its supposed to be a bit tighter, so i would suggest the size M.
Of course standing around M looks better, but it’s very much up to You. I like the way the red one fits. Skin tight fit looks good on super skinny guys, you are a little bit chunkyer and red fits better imo.
