Should You Size Up in a Jersey? When One Size Bigger Makes Sense

Should You Size Up in a Jersey? When One Size Bigger Makes Sense

Quick Answer

Size up when you are between two sizes, when you wear a layer underneath, for a loose basketball look, or if you bowl fast. Do not size up for kabaddi or a fitted football look. Jaypee jerseys are polyester and do not shrink, so there is no need to size up for washing.

“Should I get one size bigger?” is the most common question we get with a team’s size list. The answer depends on the sport and on why you are asking.

Size up when

You are between sizes. A 39 inch chest takes L (40), not M (38). You wear a base layer or vest. Add a size for the layer. You play basketball. The loose, long look is normal. You bowl fast. The bowling arm needs room across the back.

Do not size up when

You play kabaddi. Loose fabric gives defenders something to grab. You want a fitted football look. Stay at your size. You are worried about shrinking. Sublimated polyester does not shrink, so the jersey stays the size you ordered.

The cost of one size

None: every size from XS to 4XL costs the same, so choose the one that fits.

Size Chest (in) Chest (cm) Length (in) Length (cm)
XS 34 86 27 68
S 36 92 28 72
M 38 96 29 74
L 40 102 30 76
XL 42 106 30 76

3XL 46 117 32 81
4XL 48 122 33 84
