Thanks for the heads-up. Just bought one myself :smt003

And who knows maybe there are clues to the next club strip there?

Has anyone managed to find a sensible alternative to the online size guide?

For example, the Kukri Mens Classic Jersey in XXL claims to be Chest 62.5 Length 80. What on earth is the unit of measurement?

Don’t know for sure but generally chest measurements are still done imperially.

http://www.kukrisports.com/pages/size-guide.html

I have seen some shirt sizes in cm but chest width, so 62.5cm from side to side (side seam to side seam at the base of the armpit area), double it to allow for both front and back = 125cm

125cm = approximately 49.2" (so say 49")

Still doesn't match exactly the chart on Kukri but, it's a guess from me anyway - just offering a 'possible' solution.

Too many different ways of measuring.

I would hope that '80' length is cm rather than inches - or you may need someone to carry your shirt tail behind you :smt002

Thanks @WhitecapTiger

The size chart at the end of your link makes much more sense given that a 50" Chest equates to a 4XL

Either the shop's chart is based in unconventional measuring points or it has mixed metric and imperial units.

Yeah, if the size guide in that link is to be believed the size I bought should be perfect....

Cheers Whitecap.

Even at £12 I can’t bring myself to walk around with a great big empty white square on my back!

Well I have lots of old XXL cotton traders shirts which I wear with no size issues. I ordered the 4XL Kukri long sleeved shirt and I cannot even get it on :smt010 :smt010

Chris Rose said "End of June" on the LTTV broadcast last night, just incase there are complaints that it hasn't been revealed by 8am on 1st June :smt002 :smt003
