Baseball Size Guide — Full Measurements
Every baseball jersey we make, measured and charted: body chest, waist and body length, plus the finished garment chest, length, sleeve and shoulder — in inches and centimetres, for the men’s and youth sizes we stock.
The tape, not the guess
How to measure
Ninety seconds with a soft tape measure settles what no amount of label-squinting will. Wear a single thin layer, stand the way you normally stand, and let the tape touch you without squeezing. No tailor’s tape? Use a piece of string, pinch where it meets, then lay it against a ruler.
Every size we stock
The size chart
The chart below is split into 2 independent blocks, one for each fit group we stock in Baseball. Each block carries its own table, its own column set and its own header — a men’s block never shows a bust column, and a youth block never shows a garment column. Every measurement is given twice, inches first and then its centimetre equivalent, so the two always agree. A cell with nothing in it means that figure is not published for that size; it is never a zero.

Reading the table
How to read the table
Two column groups do different jobs. Body measurement is you — the tape wrapped around you, and it is what picks the size. Garment measurement is the jersey — laid flat on a table, and it is what tells you how the finished piece sits. The two are never interchangeable, which is why the chest on the garment is larger than the chest on your body.
How each measurement is taken, and which sizes it applies to.
| Measurement | How it is measured | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| Body chest | Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, straight under the armpits, level front to back. Breathe normally — do not puff up, do not hollow out. | Men’s, youth, toddler, infant, preschool |
| Body bust | Around the fullest part of the bust, keeping the tape level all the way round. | Women’s |
| Body waist | At the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the belly button. Snug, not cinched. | Men’s, women’s |
| Body hips | Around the fullest part of the seat, feet together. | Women’s |
| Body length | From the highest point of the shoulder beside the collar, straight down to where you want the hem to sit. | Men’s, youth, toddler, infant, preschool |
| Garment chest | The jersey laid flat, measured straight across the chest, one inch below the armhole. | Men’s |
| Garment bust | The jersey laid flat, measured straight across the bust. | Women’s |
| Garment length | From the high shoulder point straight down to the hem. | Men’s, women’s |
| Sleeve | Shoulder seam to the end of the cuff, arm slightly bent. | Men’s |
| Shoulder | Seam to seam across the top of the shoulder. | Men’s, women’s |
| Garment width | Across the chest of the jersey laid flat, underarm to underarm. | Women’s |
| Step up | Not a measurement — the difference between this size and the next smaller size in the same block, on the deciding measurement. The smallest size in each block has no step-up value, so that cell is left blank. | Every block |
| Blank cells | A measurement that does not exist for that size group. Never a zero and never a missing value — hover any blank cell to see why it is blank. | Every block |
Units
Inches are the published unit. Every centimetre figure is converted from the inch figure beside it at 1 in = 2.54 cm and shown to one decimal place, so the two always agree. Every measurement in the chart is given in both.
How much error to allow
A finished garment is cut and sewn, not moulded, so allow a little.
| Measurement | Tolerance | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Body measurements | ±0.5 in / ±1.3 cm | Tape position and how you breathe shift the reading |
| Garment measurements | ±0.5 in / ±1.3 cm | Cut and sew variation between production runs |
| Size band edges | ±0.25 in | You may sit just on a boundary |
| Manual measurement | 1–3 cm / 0.4–1.2 in | Accepted industry range for hand-taken measurements |
| Length (hem) | ±0.5 in / ±1.3 cm | Hem finish and drape shift the reading |
| Fabric stretch | 2–4% | Polyester mesh gives slightly with wear |
Measured, published, derived
Where the numbers come from
Every figure in this chart is one of three things, and the table says which. Nothing here is invented, and no published value has been rewritten.
| Figure | Type | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Body chest — men | Measured & published | The chest range printed on the product itself, across the whole catalogue. |
| Body bust — women | Measured & published | The bust range printed on the product itself, across the whole catalogue. |
| Age band — youth, toddler, infant, preschool | Measured & published | The age range printed on the product. Where the standard chart disagrees, the published band is the one we ship and sell. |
| US size / numeric | Reference | From the standard replica size chart. The men’s numeric size is the chest circumference in inches; the women’s runs 0–2 to 28–30; the youth figure is a US youth size. |
| Body waist, body hips, body length | Reference | Not published in our catalogue, so taken from the standard replica size chart. |
| Garment chest, bust, length, sleeve, shoulder, width | Reference | Finished-garment measurements from the standard replica size chart, in inches. |
| Men’s 5XL waist and body length | Extrapolated | The published run stops at 4XL, so these two are extended on the same curve and flagged est. in the chart. |
| Women’s 3XL–4XL waist and hips | Extrapolated | Extended on the same curve from the published run and flagged est. in the chart. |
The youth age bands
Where the standard chart and the published band disagree, the published band is the one we ship.
| Youth size | Published age band | Reference chart age band | Which one to use |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | Not published | 6–7 | Reference only |
| S | 8–10 | 8 | Published |
| M | 10–12 | 10–12 | Published |
| L | 12–13 | 14–16 | Published |
| XL | 13–15 | 18–20 | Published |

Looking for another sport?
Every sport has its own size guide, charted from the sizes we actually stock in that sport. Pick yours and the chart opens on the right rows.
How these numbers were built. Body chest, body bust and the age bands are the measured, published catalogue values carried on the product. Waist, hips, body length and every garment measurement are not published in the catalogue, so they follow the standard replica size chart and are marked as reference values throughout. Figures marked est. are extrapolated past the end of the published run. 1 in = 2.54 cm.
Original values are never rewritten. Inches are the source figures; centimetres are converted from them and shown to one decimal place so the two always agree.
