Their design team joined forces with the powers at Hampco Inc. to produce a limited edition of the '88 leaders jersey worn by Andy. <br /><br />Inspired and inspiring Wow! factors include a plush wool blend, a #172 dossard with safety pins, and a sewn on applique with Andy's name in the 7-Eleven font. (Andy's 8-day defense at the Giro was carried out in a pink wool jersey with a musette bag cutout sewn onto it). <br /><br /> 6 sizes, from xs to xxl. $215 and heck, we'll ship it too. The small sizes frame best, and Andy is happy to sign yours if you like.
