Which football shirt size is right for you?

A shirt that's slightly too tight is one you wear less often. So is a shirt that's far too baggy. That's why it pays to check your size properly before you order. It takes a minute and a shirt you already own.

With a mystery box this matters even more: you don't know which shirt you'll get, so you at least want to be sure about the size.

The easiest way to measure

  1. Take a T-shirt or football shirt that fits you well.
  2. Lay it flat on a table and smooth it out.
  3. Measure the chest width: straight across from armpit to armpit.
  4. Measure the length: from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem.
  5. Compare your measurements with the chart below.

Adult size chart

These sizes apply to The Captain, The Anthem and The Legend. The chest width is measured flat, from armpit to armpit. For The Queen and The Signature you'll find the size information on the product page; The Signature is available in sizes S to 2XL.

Size Chest width Length
S 50 cm 70 cm
M 53 cm 72 cm
L 56 cm 74 cm
XL 59 cm 76 cm
2XL 62 cm 78 cm
3XL 65 cm 80 cm

Kids' size chart

For The Wonderkid we go by your child's body measurements, based on the kids' size charts of Adidas and Nike.

Size Body height Chest circumference
6-8 years 116–128 cm up to 64 cm
8-10 years 128–140 cm 64–71 cm
10-12 years 140–152 cm 71–78 cm
12-14 years 152–164 cm 78–86 cm
14-16 years 164–176 cm 86–92 cm

Tip for parents: children grow fast. If your child is at the top end of a size, choose the next one up. That way they can wear the shirt for longer.

Tips if you're not sure

  • Between two sizes? Choose the larger one. A football shirt can be a little roomy, and it often looks better that way too.
  • Wearing it over a hoodie or long-sleeve top? Go up one size.
  • Prefer a snug fit? Stick to your normal size. Don't go smaller.
  • Is it a gift? Secretly check the size of a shirt they already wear. Or ask someone who knows.

Several boxes, different sizes

Ordering for the whole family or a group of friends? You choose a size for each box. That way everyone gets the right fit, and with several boxes you also get a discount: 15% on 2 boxes, rising to 35% on 5 or more boxes.

Doesn't fit after all?

Then you can sort it out. You have 14 days after receipt to return your order without giving a reason. Let us know about your return at info@mysterykitz.nl and send the shirt back unworn and unwashed, in the condition you received it. The return costs are your own responsibility. Please note: shirts with a name and number cannot be returned, because they were printed especially for you. If you're unsure about the size, only add printing once you're certain. You'll find everything about returns in our returns policy.
