SIZE S SHIRTS
A size S label from a 1990s shirt and a size S from a 2010s jersey rarely measure the same, which is why every product page here gives the actual flat measurements rather than asking you to trust an old tag.
More information
The smallest label, not always the smallest shirt
Manufacturers cut differently by brand, country and decade, so a nineties Kappa or Lotto size S, like the Juventus and Napoli shirts in this range, can measure close to a modern M, while a slimmer 2000s Nike or Adidas template in the same letter size, the kind found on shirts like Barcelona's 2007-08 Messi away kit, runs much closer to what S means today. Player-cut shirts add another layer on top of that: a shirt made to fit a slim professional footballer, rather than a looser retail cut sold to fans, can land in S even when it measures wider across the chest than the label suggests.
What to check before buying a size S here
If you normally wear a small in modern shirts, compare the flat measurements on the specific listing rather than assuming a labeled S will fit the same way, especially on anything from before the mid-2000s, when cuts tended to run boxier through the body even in smaller sizes. That gap narrows the closer a shirt gets to the 2010s, but it never fully closes, which is exactly why the pit to pit and top to bottom numbers on each listing carry more weight than the letter sewn inside.
Good to know
- Does a size S here fit like a modern size S?
- Not always, older shirts especially can run larger through the body, so the flat measurement on each listing is more reliable than the label.
- Where do I find the actual measurements?
- Every product page lists the shirt measured flat, pit to pit and top to bottom.
- Is shipping free?
- Shipping is free within the Netherlands and Belgium from 100 euros, and worldwide from 150 euros. Everything ships with track and trace.
