The Assos SL Sleeveless Jersey is probably the most expensive of its
kind, so must be the best:

You can't road race with it.

Why do they not allow people to race in sleeveless jerseys?

Same reason racing rules required 'white sox over the ankle' for many
years; Caprice and arbitrary application of authority. See also 'helmet
rule', 'doping rule', 'bike weight rule', etc.

Hey Sparky, a few observations:
1). You're a wanker. Maybe not a particularly insightful
observation, but I thought we should get it out of the way up front.
2). People that wear flip flops while riding to the beach wear
shirts, usually of the T or wife beater variety. Most people wear
jerseys.
3). I have no idea what you mean by best. When you say best do you
mean everyone agrees they're the best, best value, best fit, best
looking or what?
4). Racing isn't touring, but I'm sure you could pick up a nifty USPS
LANCE jersey on eBay and be the absolute coolest guy in the sag wagon
either way!

Every once in a while I see on TV that mad multi-day running marathon
in Morocco or wherever, and wonder why none of the competitors wears
sandals and flowing garb. It just seems the obvious choice,
particularly when you see what sort of suffering culls the field.

They run in sand across the Sahara, and it's a constant (losing)
battle to keep sand out of their socks and shoes. They use silly
gaiters that don't work, and have huge problems with sores. Sandals at
least drain sand by themselves. With enough practice to get your feet
toughened up and ready for the abrasive sand, I'm sure sandals would
be preferable for at least the sandy sections.

A while back, I thought it was a Mexican Indian tribe that was
cleaning up all these events, except that they were under the
exclusive care of some unscrupulous guy.
Apparently, they are the Tarahumara and do race in sandals:

They apparently never made it to Morocco.

IIRC, the "sandal" soles are made from old car tire treads.

You can in Colorado:

11.3.1 All riders must wear jerseys. Sleeveless jerseys are permitted.
All riders must wear cycling shorts. No article of clothing may
be worn that serves solely an aerodynamic purpose.
