What NHL Jersey Size Should I Get?
Trying to decide what size NHL jersey to get can be tough. Follow our sizing guide to help you make the best decision for you.
How to Measure Your Chest
Knowing what size jersey to buy can be tricky, especially if you’re ordering online. You don’t want it to be too snug or too loose – you want it to fit just right. The best way to ensure you’re getting the right size is to measure your chest. Here’s how:
Use a cloth measuring tape
Position the tape at the center of your chest, just below your armpits. Make sure the tape is level and parallel to the floor. For best results, take off your shirt and measure over a tank top or other close-fitting garment. Wrap the tape around your chest and record the measurement.
Place the tape around the fullest part of your chest
Placing the tape around the fullest part of your chest will ensure that you get an accurate measurement. You’ll want to measure under your arms and around the widest part of your chest.
Record the measurement in inches
Use a measuring tape to record the circumference (all the way around) of your chest at its widest point. Make sure the tape is level all the way around and is not pulled too tight or too loose.
How to Measure Your Waist
It’s NHL season, and you want to make sure you’re outfitted in the best gear to support your team. You head to the store and find the perfect jersey… but what size should you get? You don’t want it to be too tight or too loose, so how can you make sure you get the right fit? By measuring your waist, of course!
Use a cloth measuring tape
Use a cloth measuring tape to measure your waist. Place the tape at your natural waistline, which is located above your hips and below your rib cage. Breathe out naturally before taking the measurement. The tape should be snug but not too tight.
If you don’t have a cloth measuring tape, you can use a piece of string or ribbon instead. Wrap it around your waist and mark the point where the ends meet. Then, measure the length of the string or ribbon with a ruler or yardstick.
Place the tape around your natural waistline
Your natural waistline is located above your hipbones and below your ribcage. To measure your natural waistline, wrap the tape measure around your bare stomach, just above your hipbones. Make sure the tape measure is level all the way around and doesn’t dip down in the back. Relax your stomach muscles and breathe out normally. The number on the tape measure is your natural waistline measurement.
Record the measurement in inches
Assuming you do not have a measuring tape, there are a few ways to estimate your waist size.
If you are a man, you can wrap a soft measuring tape around your stomach, just below your belly button. Alternatively, you can wrap a string around your waist and then measure the string with a ruler.
For women, it is best to wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your stomach, again keeping it just below the belly button. Again, if you do not have a measuring tape, you can use a string and measure it with a ruler.
Once you have your measurement in inches, you can consult the NHL jersey size chart to find the right size for you.
Remember that jersey sizes vary from brand to brand, so it is always best to try on a jersey before you buy it to ensure that it fits properly.
How to Determine Your Jersey Size
Ordering the right size NHL jersey is essential to having a positive experience. The process is pretty simple: first, take some measurements; second, use a size chart to find your size; third, order your jersey. If you follow these steps, you’re sure to end up with a jersey that fits you well.
Use a size chart
To make sure you’re ordering the right size NHL jersey, it’s best to use a size chart. You can find the NHL’s official size chart here. The sizes on the chart are based on height and weight, so you’ll want to take your own measurements before finding your spot on the chart.
If you fall between two sizes on the chart, it’s generally better to go with the larger size. You can always have a jersey altered to fit you perfectly, but it’s much more difficult to make a jersey larger if it’s too small.
Keep in mind that NHL jerseys are designed to be worn over pads, so they will be a little loose-fitting. If you want a tighter-fitting jersey, you may want to consider ordering a custom jersey or one from a different brand.
Find your chest measurement on the size chart
Using a tape measure, find the circumference of your chest at its widest point. Once you have your chest measurement, refer to the size chart to find the corresponding jersey size.
If you fall between two sizes on the size chart, it is generally recommended that you go with the larger of the two sizes. This will ensure that the jersey fits comfortably over any other layers that you may be wearing underneath.
Find your waist measurement on the size chart
To find your jersey size, take a flexible tape measure and wrap it around your waist. Be sure to measure at your natural waist, which is located above your hipbone and below your ribcage. Once you have your waist measurement, locate it on the size chart to find your corresponding jersey size.
Choose the jersey size that corresponds to your chest and waist measurements
To ensure a comfortable fit, choose the jersey size that corresponds to your chest and waist measurements. If you fall between two sizes, opt for the larger size.
NHL jersey sizes are available in adult (men’s) sizes S-3XL and youth sizes XS-XL.
To find your NHL jersey size, use a tape measure to determine your chest and waist circumference, then consult the NHL Jersey Size Chart below.
