Measurements
Vintage sizing is not consistent. A size L from 1994 is not a size L from 2014, and every brand cut its own pattern. That is why every shirt in the shop is measured by hand and the centimetres are listed on the product page.
AB

Length

Home, away, goalkeeper and training shirts of the same club and season can still differ, and match issue shirts follow their own sizing again. The centimetres tell you what the letter cannot.
Quick checkLay a shirt you already own and like flat, measure it the same two ways and compare the numbers.
