New shirts - sizing

Evidently you're advised to check the sizes on the new shirts before buying. Some issues are being reported on Facebook, with the sizing of the red ones in particular being a tighter squeeze than the labels would indicate, evidently.

And, also, a difference in the sizes between red and white.

Angie posted this, which might help, although they do seem rather large if this is the case :?

MACRON REPLICA MEN
SIZE Chest inches..Waist inches
S 36-38 28-30
M 38-40 30-32
L 40-42 32-34
XL 42-44 34-36
XXL 44-46 36-38
3XL 46-48 38-40
4XL 48-50 40-42
5XL 50-52
6XL 52-54

Maybe they grow in the wash

Christie Cat certainly needs a bigger size judging by his appearance after today's game. Poor puss had no allowance for fur, or breathing, at all :D

Did Christie the cat think it was a 5p.m. k.o.? Only appeared for the Trophy (!) presentation! Or is the cat just another glory seeker? :D

Noticed Jimbo not wearing track suit again. Wonder if it's a sizing issue. :?:

Personally prefer to see him out of a track suit looks more professional and more in keeping with his role as manager. ;)

I went to buy a home red shirt from the club shop on Saturday. Took advice to try them on in the fitting room - just as well!

I usually take an XL (all my other replica shirts from the last 14 years or so are XL) - it was too tight. So was the 2XL !

Ended up with a 3XL :o

So I'd definitely recommended trying them on before buying ;)

I found the same. Usually a L but came away with a 2XL home shirt and XL away shirt.

Ha! :D wasn't just me then! Exactly that same scenario. 3XL fits perfectly... well fits like a dress actually, cos it's a bit long, I'll have to tuck it in.

No, not quite as bad. I've gone up 2 sizes for home shirt and one size for the away one.

Ditto! it's actually more the sleeves than the belly.

4xl is the largest in stock, so if you were a 3xl then cut out a few pleasures for a while.

Some muscular bodies won't have many places to hide this season, seen a few already :lol:

Bolton who are supplied by macron have 5xl and 6xl so it is possible to get bigger sizes.
