The JL Techshirt Our Longsleeve Techshirt was and continues to be designed for use IN THE BOAT. The rowers' cut arms and shoulders, the shorter front, the long tail--these features allow you to do what you do best without distraction. Find any of this in a shirt made for football players? |

| Remember, a JL Techshirt is a Snug-fit garment!!! Why Snug? The JL Techshirt is our snug-fit, base-layer shirt. A snug fit provides three major functions: First, it insures that there is no distracting fabric that flaps, or gets caught in equipment. Secondly, a proper fit brings out the technical properties of the fabrics that we use, maximizing wicking and insulation. Finally the JL Techshirt fits beneath your race unisuit, for perfect layering when training or on raceday. | ||
Techshirt Sizing--How it Should Fit |
JL Sizing is unique to our company, and to our sport. We make our shirts to fit rowers' bodies, rowers' reach...Our sizing runs larger than industry standard, but remember this is not a T-shirt--you are still looking for a snug fit. Fabric Weight to Stretch Ratio as a concept in Fit JL Techshirts are made from fabrics containing Lycra. Stretch varies between fabrics, which might affect the perceived fit. Heavier weight fabrics will have a more powerful compression, lighter weight fabrics will have a softer, more supple stretch. Garments of the same size may seem tighter when made in a heavier fabric - consider this when choosing your size. As an example, if you are teetering between an M and an L, you might be happy in a M CoolMax shirt, but prefer a L Polypro shirt. |
For the best fit, choose your size based on these methods
- Very Best: Try on the product. Sources: Previously owned JL item, JL sizing Kit, teammate's JL item.
- Next Best: Consult charts below. Your size will depend on a combination of upper body breadth and overall weight. Charts are guidelines, contact us if you are unsure, or if your measurements have no size assigned.

 | Merino Wool: 90% wool 18 micron, 10% Lycra We've been looking for over 20 years for wool to use in our line! We finally found the sheep of our dreams in New Zealand.

Merino wool absorbs the moisture that your body produces and then instantaneously releases it to the outside environment--you don’t feel the sweat sitting on your skin. This means that you can work hard and never worry about overheating. Technical Properties: Insulation—Thermal control, Resists Odor, 100% Natural, and Verifiable animal welfare.

- Why are the arms so long?
Because I hate when I reach for the catch and other shirts slide back up my forearm!!! - Why a short front?
Because when I sit in the boat I don't need gobs of fabric flapping around my belly. - How snug should I wear it?
As snug as you can. Technical properties work best when there is no airspace between you and the fabric. - What fabric is best for my team?
Choose a fabric depending on these factors: climate; team colors; worn while racing or training; buff factor... - How custom can JL get with these shirts?
Well...we do a lot of things that aren't seen on this website--it would be hard to show them all! It doesn't hurt to ask! - Where can I get a JL?
