Jersey Pro Center Size Guide

The right size, the first time. All charts below use international standard body measurements — in inches and centimeters — covering jerseys, shorts, jackets, hoodies and pants across NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and Soccer.

1. How to Measure

Take these measurements over a thin t-shirt (never outerwear), standing relaxed. Use a soft measuring tape.

1. Chest (Most Important)

Measure around the fullest part of your chest, directly under the armpits. Keep the tape parallel to the floor and don't puff your chest out.

2. Waist

Measure around your natural waistline — the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the belly button. Key for shorts & pants.

3. Hips

Stand with feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and glutes. Crucial for track pants and athletic shorts.

4. Body Length

Measure from the highest point of your shoulder (next to the collar) straight down to where you want the hem to sit.

5. Sleeve Length

For long-sleeve jerseys and jackets: measure from the shoulder seam down to your wrist with your arm slightly bent.

6. Inseam (Pants)

Measure from your crotch straight down to your ankle bone along the inside of your leg to find your ideal pant length.

2. Fit by League (Overview)

Each major sports league designs jerseys with a distinct traditional silhouette.

League	Cut Style	How It Should Feel & Fit Advice
Soccer	Athletic / Slim	Close to the body. If you are between sizes or prefer a streetwear look over t-shirts, size up.
NBA Basketball	Standard / Long	Relaxed through chest and shoulders with an elongated hem. True to size; size up if layering over hoodies.
NFL Football	Roomy / Boxy	Classic oversized game-day cut with broad shoulders. Plenty of room for hoodies. Order true size or size down for tailored fit.
MLB Baseball	Full / Button-Front	Relaxed traditional baseball cut with extra room in chest. True to size; fits comfortably over casual layers.
NHL Hockey	Very Loose / Generous	The loosest cut of all leagues. Wide through body with extra-long sleeves. Never size up; order true size.

14. Frequently Asked Questions About Sizing

What if I'm not sure which size to order?

Order the size you think fits best, then simply send us your height, chest, and waist measurements via email to jerseycare@outlook.com. Our specialists will check your dimensions before dispatch and ensure you receive the right fit.

I am between two sizes — which should I choose?

When in doubt, always size up. A slightly roomier jersey is comfortable, breathable, and easy to layer over t-shirts or hoodies. A jersey that is too tight rarely gets worn.

Do jerseys shrink after washing?

No. Our jerseys are made of premium recycled technical polyester mesh which is dimensionally stable and pre-shrunk. As long as you wash in cold water (30°C) and hang dry, shrinkage is less than 1%.

Can I wear an NFL or NHL jersey over a hoodie?

Yes! NFL and NHL jerseys are traditionally cut roomy and boxy specifically for this game-day look. Your normal t-shirt size will easily accommodate a standard hoodie. If you wear an extra-thick fleece hoodie, consider going up one size.

All orders qualify for 30-day free returns and exchanges. Free worldwide tracked delivery applies to all orders over $57. If your jersey doesn't fit the way you like, our team will exchange it hassle-free.

Manchester United Retro Jersey 1998

Some shirts are for photographs. This one is for actually wearing — long sessions, long days, and everything in between.

One of us owns this in two sizes — one for matchdays, one that has given up pretending and lives on the sofa.

Why supporters pick this one

Creased? It falls flat on a hanger without ironing
Drops at the back hem to stay put when seated
Cut long enough at the back to stay tucked in when you move
Fan-version replica — same look as the Premier League kit, cut for everyday wear
Twin-needle stitched hem and cuffs for longer life

Specification	Product detail
Team & school	Manchester United (1998)
Kit category	Retro
Version / fit	Vintage / a roomier heritage cut true to the original era
Fabrication	Heavyweight heritage mesh polyester
Embellishments	Embroidered retro patch & twill lettering
Fit & sizing	Adult S, M, L, XL, 2XL (true to US/EU standard)
Care standard	Hand wash recommended or cold wash, hang dry

Before you choose a size

The single most common reason for a return is expecting a player-issue fit. This is the fan cut: comfortable, forgiving, and designed to be worn for hours rather than ninety minutes.

Sweat moves through the knit instead of sitting on it, which is the difference between comfortable and clammy after an hour in the sun.

Built for matchday

Wear it to the ground, wear it out afterwards, wear it until it needs a wash. A Manchester United jersey that does not need an occasion to justify itself.

Design accents: Relaxed regular fit

How it fits and feels

The shoulders sit where your shoulders sit. Simple, but a lot of cheaper reproductions get it wrong.

Fabric weight is balanced toward the body rather than the sleeves, so the jersey hangs from the shoulders properly.

The crest is heat-applied rather than embroidered, which keeps it flat against the body and stops it scratching under a jacket.

Where you will wear it

Suitable for the stands, the warm-up and everything after. Training days, game days and ordinary weekends all work.

Ships in plain packaging with no pricing information, which makes it straightforward to give directly.

Care and washing

Thirty degrees, inside out, and away it goes. Avoid fabric softener — it clogs the wicking channels in technical knits.

Shipping, sizing and returns

Free shipping on orders over $57 · Flat $7 shipping below $57 · Dispatched in 7-15 business days · 30-day free returns. Prices and the free-shipping threshold are converted to your local currency at checkout.

True to size with a relaxed fit. If you are between two sizes, go down for a closer fit or up if you plan to layer. Full measurements are on our size guide page.

Common questions

Are these officially licensed team jerseys?

No — and we would rather tell you upfront. These are Manchester United supporter pieces, priced accordingly, not licensed retail stock.

Does the price include taxes or duties?

Taxes and any import duties depend on your delivery country and are not included in the listed price.

How often should I wash it?

Less than you think. Unless genuinely dirty, airing overnight is kinder to the fabric than another cycle — every wash costs a little lifespan.

From our team to yours

We do not claim to be an official club retailer. What we do claim is that the jersey you receive matches the photos, fits as described, and gets fixed if it does not.
