Ages are a rough guide only; children of the same age vary a lot. Measure the chest.
How to measure
- Chest: around the fullest part, under the arms, tape level.
- Length: from the highest point of the shoulder down to where the hem should sit.
- For a looser fit, choose a chart size 2 to 4 inches above the body chest.
Choosing between two sizes
- Between sizes on the chest: pick the larger for match jerseys, which need room to move, and the smaller only for slim-cut fan shirts.
- Broad shoulders or long arms: go up one size; jersey chests are cut straight, so shoulders run out of room first.
- Growing children: one size up is common for school kits that must last the year, but not more than one, or numbers look small and sleeves hang.
- Goalkeepers and wicketkeepers often prefer one size up for padding underneath.
Sizes printers use in India
Indian sportswear makers usually label kids sizes by chest in inches (22, 24, 26 and so on up to 34) and adult sizes either by letter (S to 3XL) or by chest number (36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46). Some charts call 36 "S" and others call it "M", which is where many wrong-size orders start. Always send a chart with actual measurements, not just labels, and use the same labels in the roster.
Fabric and shrinkage
Sublimated polyester jerseys barely shrink in washing, so the chart size is the size they stay. Cotton and cotton-blend T-shirts can shrink a few percent after the first hot wash, so customers ordering those sometimes go one size up. If you print both, say which fabric your chart is for.
For print shops
Publish one chart for each fit you make and use the same size labels in your rosters. Make your own with the size chart maker. AJILE uses your size chart to set name and number sizes per jersey size.
Questions
What chest size is a medium jersey in India?
Most Indian sportswear charts put M at about 38 inches (97 cm) of chest, with L at 40 and XL at 42. Brands vary by an inch or two.
How do I measure my jersey size?
Measure around the fullest part of the chest under the arms, keeping the tape level. Add 2 to 4 inches if you want a looser fit, or compare with a jersey you already own laid flat (double the width).
What do kids sizes like 26 or 30 mean?
In India they usually mean the chest measurement in inches. A size 30 kids jersey fits a chest of about 30 inches.
