      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.

      Aston Villa Home Shirt 1998

      The test of a supporter jersey is not the first hour but the fourth. This one is built to stay comfortable well past the final whistle.

      Buying for someone else? The chest measurement is the only number you really need. We handle the rest.

      Why supporters pick this one
      • Machine washable at 30°C — no special care required
      • Opacity tested: not see-through under stadium lighting
      • Weighs under 250g — packs flat for travel
      • Drops at the back hem to stay put when seated
      • Anti-pilling treatment keeps the surface looking new

      Before you choose a size

      Worth knowing before you buy: player versions are cut slim for the pitch and look wrong on the street. This one uses the supporter block — room through the chest, a little more length, sleeves that finish above the elbow.

      Open mesh panels sit along the flank and under the arm — the places heat actually builds — while the body keeps enough density to stay opaque.

      Name & number detail

      {players} edition: official-style name and number already on the back, printed with a flexible, wash-resistant film.

      Design accents: Home colourway

      How it fits and feels

      It is a forgiving fit. Broad shoulders, a longer torso, a bit of extra weight — the pattern accommodates all three without looking shapeless.

      A double-knit body with mesh inserts under the arms and along the sides. The panels are functional, not decorative — they are where you actually ventilate.

      Inside seams are overlocked rather than raw, so nothing frays into the wash.

      Where you will wear it

      Works for the match and for the training session beforehand, which is where most Aston Villa supporters actually spend their time.

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

      Care and washing

      Store on a hanger rather than folded. The knit resists creasing but repeated fold lines do eventually show.

      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.

      Sizes run true in a relaxed supporter cut — measure a shirt you already own flat across the chest and match it to our size guide. Between sizes and want it closer? Take the smaller one.

      Common questions
      Does it include sponsor logos and league badges?

      Yes where the Aston Villa design carries them — Embroidered retro patch & twill lettering covers crest, brand logo and sponsor prints as they appear on that season's kit.

      Should I order my usual size or size up?

      True to Adult S, M, L, XL, 2XL (true to US/EU standard). Size up for layering, otherwise stay at your normal size.

      Will the numbers fade faster than the shirt itself?

      They hold roughly even with the base fabric if you wash cold and dry naturally. Direct heat and tumble drying are what cause premature fading.
