Anyone know what's the biggest size team jerseys you can get. I've seen size 8. Can you get bigger. Obviously not for me... Just looking to erm find out for a large ahem friend of mine.

Bigger than size 8 means you shouldn't be wearing lycra
(Actually bigger than 5...)

Ah we're only talking maybe a 10. He's got large chest muscles that need to be catered for.

Radioshack - brilliant

Take a tape measure to a good dealer and DON'T buy online.One firm's 8 is another firm's 5.Replicas made in the East ("Foreign,round eyed devils want little numbers sewn inside neck of jersey.") can be really crazy with size 4 being bigger than size 8. Santini come up small as do most Italian items.Belgian makes come up larger.
What I'm TRYING to say is buying a Jersey without measuring both you and the jesey is not a good idea unless Arnold Schwarzenegger and Wee Georgie Wood have not been catered for on next Christmas' gift list!

look at american kit such as nike or cannondale - XL there is roughly the same as XXXL (7) or XXXXL(8) in santini.

So an American S would be an XL for the rest of the world? What do fit people wear - XXXXS(8)?
