Ted and Eric: thanks, you confirmed my suspicions that knit and seersucker work best.
One more question: Are the LE polos and ss seersuckers cut trim? I have a very long and narrow torso and sometimes have to order Large to get enough length, but I don’t want baggy = flap in wind. Too bad about the stink on the Koh’s bush shirts, as they are otherwise excellent. Only, when I ride somewhere and sweat I am always afraid that the dreaded stink will start manifesting itself publicly before the end of my trip. I am generally safe for, say, 5 hours or so, but more than that is iffy.
