All measurements below are taken from the garment itself, not from your body. Every shirt on this site is a fan version, and these are the measurements that version follows.
How to measure your shirt
Chest width: lay the shirt flat and measure straight across from armpit to armpit. This is a half measurement, so a 52 cm chest width fits roughly a 104 cm chest.
Length: measure from the highest point of the shoulder straight down to the bottom hem.
The quickest way to get this right is to measure a shirt you already own and like the fit of, then match it to the table.

Between two sizes?
Go for the larger one. It gives a more comfortable fit, and it is closer to how these shirts were originally worn.
Fit notes for retro shirts
Kits from the 1980s and 1990s were cut much looser than modern shirts, with wider bodies and longer sleeves. That boxier shape is part of the character of the era and we keep it.
- For the authentic period look, order your usual size.
- For a closer, modern fit, order one size down.
- Shirts from the 2000s onwards are already cut closer to the body, so stay true to size.
A note on tolerances
Measurements can vary by 1 to 4 cm because of the manufacturing process. That is normal for this kind of garment and is not considered a fault.
