Size guide
Getting a whole team's sizes right sounds like the hard part. It is not, and you will not have to measure a single person.
Our numbers describe the garment, not the person wearing it.
Every measurement on this site is taken with the garment laid flat on a table. Chest is measured seam to seam across one side only, which is what half chest means. A shirt with a half chest of 56cm goes right round a 112cm chest.
Quick sanity check
Half chest 56cm, times two, is 112cm all the way round.
The easiest way to size a team
Do not measure your players. Measure a top they already own and like the fit of. It takes two minutes and it is far more reliable.
1Find a top that fits
Any playing top, training tee or jersey your player already wears happily.
2Lay it flat and measure
Straight across the chest, just below where the sleeve joins. One side only.
3Match it to the chart
Find the closest number on that garment's own chart. That is the size to order.
What we measure, and where
Tops and bottoms are measured differently, so a chart will show you two of these depending on the garment.
Half chest
Across the chest, just below the sleeve seam. Tops only.
Length
Top of the shoulder straight down to the hem.
Half waist
Across the waistband, relaxed. Shorts, skirts and skorts.
Outseam
Down the outside edge, waistband to hem.
Socks are the exception — they are listed by foot length.
Where to find your garment's measurements
Every garment is cut differently, so there is no single chart that covers the site. A size L jersey and a size L hoodie are not the same measurement. The chart for the garment you are ordering is on that garment's own page, under the size grid, with real numbers you can copy into a team spreadsheet.
If you would rather measure people
Double the half chest and compare it to their actual chest. You want the garment to come out a few centimetres bigger, more if they like room to move. A garment that doubles to exactly their chest measurement will be skin tight.
Caught between two sizes
Go up. Sports kit that is slightly loose still gets worn; kit that is slightly tight does not. For a growing junior team, most clubs size up as a matter of course.
How exact are these numbers?
Sizes run true, within about a centimetre or two either way. That is normal for sewn garments and it is the same tolerance the whole industry works to.
Still not confident?
Send us the measurement you took and the garment you are after, and we will tell you which size to order. It is a two-minute answer and it saves a whole team getting it wrong.
