Size Guide
Every size on this page is listed with height, chest, waist and hip, in inches and centimetres, plus US / EU / UK / Japan / Korea / China conversions — for adults, youth, children, toddlers and babies.
How to measure
Every measurement on this page is a body measurement, not a garment measurement. Each jersey is cut with a few centimetres of ease on top, so the garment itself will measure a little larger than your body. Measure over light clothing or directly against the skin.
- Chest. Stand relaxed, wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest and keep it level under your arms. This is the measurement that matters most on a jersey.
- Waist. Measure around your natural waistline, just above the navel, breathing normally.
- Hip. Feet together, measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape level all the way round.
- Height. Stand barefoot against a wall, look straight ahead, and measure from the floor to the top of your head.
- Compare. Match all three girth measurements against the chart. If they land in different sizes, fit your chest first, then check the hip is covered.

Women's fit is shaped through the waist with a narrower shoulder, using the same chest grading as the unisex chart. If you normally buy a unisex jersey and want the same feel, keep the same letter size.
Youth sizes (ages 6–15)
Youth jerseys are graded on real kids' measurements rather than scaled-down adult sizing, so use this chart instead of converting from adult sizes. Age bands are kept to two years — measure height and chest wherever you can, because children of the same age can differ by a full size.

Still growing? If the child is near the top of an age band, or you want the jersey to last more than one season, take the next size up. A jersey that is slightly roomy looks fine on game day; one that is too small does not.
Children and toddler sizes (ages 2–5)
One-year age bands, because a two-year-old and a three-year-old are not the same shape. Chest and height together are far more reliable than age alone.

Infant and baby sizes (0–24 months)
Baby jerseys and rompers are sized by age in months, but length (height) is the measurement that decides it. If your baby is above average length for their age, move up one band.

International size conversion
Buying from outside the United States? Use these tables to convert your usual local size into the US letter size you should order. The conversion is based on body measurements, so where two systems disagree, trust your chest measurement over the letter.

Reading the China column: the format is height/chest, so 175/92A means a body height of about 175 cm with a 92 cm chest. Japan: LL, 3L and 4L are the local equivalents of XL, 2XL and 3XL. Korea: the number is chest circumference in centimetres.
Fit notes
- Lightweight fan jersey
- Relaxed through the chest and shoulders with a straight hem. Works on its own or over a tee — take your usual size.
- Replica jersey
- Cut closer to the on-field shape with a trimmer body. Take one size up if you prefer a looser fit or plan to layer.
- Over a hoodie
- A hoodie adds roughly 5–8 cm of chest bulk. Take one size up so the shoulders do not pull.
- Women's fit
- Shaped through the waist with a narrower shoulder, in the same chest sizing as the unisex chart.
- Youth, children and infant
- Graded on real age-band measurements, not scaled-down adult sizing.
Between two sizes?
- Chest is the deciding measurement. Fit the chest first, then check that the waist and hip ranges also cover you.
- Prefer a loose, layered look? Size up.
- Prefer a neat, close fit? Size down.
- Buying for a child? Size up — growing room beats a perfect fit for one season.
Not sure which size? Let us pick for you
Size charts not your thing? No problem. Email cfjservice@outlook.com with your height and your chest, waist and hip measurements (inches or centimetres, whatever you use), plus the jersey you are looking at, and we will come back with the size we would order for you. Include your usual fit preference — snug, regular or roomy — and we will factor that in too.
Don't see your size in stock?
Sizes sell through at different speeds. If the size you need is sold out, email us with the jersey and the size: we can often restock it, and for many styles we can also arrange a custom size made to your measurements — custom orders take 3–7 business days to produce. Just ask — it costs nothing to send an email. For everything custom (name, number and made-to-measure sizing), see the Custom College Jerseys page.
Frequently asked questions
Do your jerseys run true to size?
Yes. Our jerseys are graded to standard US sizing, so order the size you normally wear and check it against the chest measurement in the size chart. Size up only if you are between sizes or want a looser fit. If it still is not right, size exchanges are free within 30 days.
Should I size up for a jersey?
Size up if you are between sizes, want a loose fit, or plan to wear the jersey over a hoodie or sweatshirt. For a jersey worn on its own or over a t-shirt, your usual size gives a clean fit.
How do I measure my chest for a jersey?
Stand relaxed, wrap a soft tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, keep the tape level under your arms and snug but not tight, then read the number. Compare it with the chest column of the size chart.
Are your size charts body measurements or garment measurements?
Body measurements. Every jersey is cut with a few centimetres of ease on top of the listed chest, waist and hip, so the garment will measure slightly larger than your body.
How do I pick a size for a child or teenager?
Measure height and chest rather than relying on age, since children of the same age can differ by a full size. Match both to the youth or children chart, and take the next size up if they are at the top of an age band or still growing.
Do you have plus sizes?
Yes. Men's and unisex sizes run XS to 4XL, with chest measurements up to about 160 cm (63 in), and each size is also shown in US numeric, EU, UK, Japan, Korea and China equivalents.
My measurements fall into two different sizes. Which do I order?
Fit your chest first, since a jersey is cut to sit across the shoulders and chest, then check that the waist and hip ranges also cover you. If the hip is the larger measurement, size up.
I don't know how to choose a size. Can you help?
Yes. Email us your height and your chest, waist and hip measurements, plus the jersey you want, and we will recommend the size we would order for you — snug, regular or roomy, your call.
The size I need is out of stock. What can I do?
Email us with the jersey and the size you need. We can often restock it, and for many styles we can also arrange a custom size made to your measurements — see the Custom College Jerseys page for how custom orders work.
Still need a hand?
