Vintage Sizing Guide
Vintage football jerseys were made in a different era — and they fit like it. Before ordering, please read this guide carefully to find your perfect fit.
Why Vintage Sizes Run Small
Jerseys from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s were designed with a much slimmer, closer-to-body cut compared to modern football kits. A jersey labelled XL from 1994 will typically fit like a modern M or L. This is completely normal and part of the authentic vintage experience.
General Size Conversion Guide
| Vintage Label | Modern Equivalent | Chest (cm) | Length (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | XS – S | 88 – 94 | 64 – 67 |
| M | S – M | 94 – 100 | 67 – 70 |
| L | M – L | 100 – 108 | 70 – 73 |
| XL | L – XL | 108 – 116 | 73 – 76 |
| XXL | XL – XXL | 116 – 124 | 76 – 79 |
How to Measure Yourself
- Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape horizontal under your arms.
- Length: Measure from the top of the shoulder down to the hem of the jersey.
- Shoulders: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
Our Recommendation
We always recommend sizing up by at least one size compared to your usual modern sportswear size. If you prefer a looser, more casual fit, consider going up two sizes.
Each product listing includes the specific measurements of that individual jersey where available. Always compare those measurements to your own before purchasing.
