(Spoiler alert) In my quest to be "best dressed man" at DFR4, I ordered a pair of Jura Merino cycling shorts. Jura's owner, Claire, patiently answered my queries about having the Viscount logo applied to the right leg of the shorts in flock lettering and provided me with these, which are made from luxurious-feeling 39% Merino wool and 61% Polyamide yarn, and have a pearl-buttoned back pocket: IMG_4469 by RMT@261, on Flickr Unfortunately, the shorts that Claire supplied were a small size instead of the large that I (sadly) require to surround my derriere. Claire is replacing these with a large pair with the same lettering, and I am returning the small pair. So, if anyone was thinking of treating themselves to some very nice shorts and has a small (30"-32') waist, Claire will soon have a pair to fit you with the Viscount logo already applied to the right thigh. Enquiries via Jura cycling contact page or call Claire on 01825 872767.

I clicked on the link thinking it was a drink related advert for Pete and Lewis... They look great Rob - I'd jump in with both feet if I could squeeze into a size small. I love a merino/poly mix.

Pete, I've updated the contact link at the bottom of the original post to take you to Jura's website contact page rather than try to embed their email address (which seems to put you in a perpetual loop back to my original post). The link in the first line of the post should take you to details and pricing. The pad in the shorts is a Santini 'Eroica', a modern take on the old chamois, but with layered foam inserts and microfibre covering. I haven't ridden on it but it looks well made. I'm sure they won't be the only shorts we'll be treating ourselves to come July 8th!

Took a stroll past the Jura stall at Eroica Britannia. Guess what I saw? I did wonder who the original order had come from. They fit me.
