Jersey Sizes

CHROMAGEAR BASEBALL SIZE CHART

All sizes in chart are garment measurements unless otherwise indicated

Sizing shown is the front width only/half of the total garment circumference.

TWO WAYS TO MEASURE:

1. To get your jersey size, measure the FRONT ONLY on an existing garment and compare it to the chart below.

2. Measure the total width around the chest and then divide in half. Ex: If your total chest measurement is 42″ and you divide in half, then your front measurement would be 21″, which is closest to a YL (21″) in the chart below.
