Soccer Jersey Fit Guide: Sizing and Measurements

KND makes two kinds of jersey: three club-style soccer jerseys in a thin 165 gsm polyester knit, and two color block polos in a heavyweight 330 g/m² waffle knit. Both are cut loose with a drop shoulder, so the size label alone tells you little. This guide gives every measurement KND publishes for them and shows how to use the numbers. KND describes the soccer jerseys as club-style, built for California summers rather than the pitch.

The two jerseys at a glance

Soccer jersey measurements

All three soccer jerseys share one chart. Measurements are taken with the garment laid flat, and the product pages allow for 1–3 cm of sizing difference.

Each size step adds about 2 cm (0.8 in) to the length and the chest. The chest figure is the flat width, so doubling it gives the full chest measurement of the garment: about 46.5 in in S, 48.0 in in M, 49.6 in in L and 51.2 in in XL.

The pages say the male model is 6'1" / 154 lb and wears L, and the female model is 5'8" / 121 lb and wears S. They describe the cut as loose and drop-shouldered, and advise sizing down for a closer fit.

Color block polo measurements

The polos list two measurements: body width (pit to pit) and body length, flat, in inches, with up to 1 in of variance.

Doubled, the chest widths give about 47.2 in in S, 48.8 in in M, 50.4 in in L, 52.0 in in XL and 53.6 in in 2XL. The pages call the polo loose through the chest, cut boxy and a little short, and also say to size down for a closer cut. They don't list model sizes.

How they compare at size L

At L the polo is 0.4 in wider across the chest than a soccer jersey and 1.5 in shorter. The Break Series tee, a 400 gsm boxy tee, is wider across the chest than both and shorter than both.

Should you size up or down?

Both jerseys are cut loose, and the only sizing advice on their pages is to size down for a closer fit. That means your usual size gives the loose cut described, and one size down gives a closer one.

The soccer jersey pages suggest wearing it oversized over a tank, or open over a tee with the sleeves pushed up. They describe the polo as a layer over a tee while the marine layer burns off. If you want room for a layer underneath, don't size down.

Find your size in three steps

1. Lay a shirt that fits the way you like flat on a table.

2. Measure it armpit to armpit and from shoulder to hem.

3. Match those two numbers to the chest and length columns above. If you land between two sizes, take the smaller for a closer fit and the larger for a looser one.

The size guide has charts for KND's tees, hoodies, jackets and jerseys, all measured flat.

Fabric and care

The soccer jerseys are a thin 165 gsm knit that the pages say moves air and dries fast, and they're built for summer. Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, don't bleach, tumble dry low, iron on low away from the print, and don't dry clean.

The polos are a heavyweight waffle knit with a woven KND neck label. Machine wash cold on gentle, don't bleach, tumble dry low, iron low away from the print, and don't dry clean. For how fabric weight changes the feel of a garment, see the t-shirt gsm guide.
