Sizing

Empire Five Sizing Chart

The same sizing standard across every product on the site — Men's, Women's, and Youth in inches. Custom-cut sizes available at no surcharge when you need them.

Single Source of Truth

One Chart, Every Product

The sizing chart below is the canonical reference for every product on Empire Five Athletics. Whether you're ordering a basketball jersey, a soccer kit, or a warm-up set, the chest / waist / hip measurements line up across the catalog.

Numbers are body measurements in inches, not garment measurements. Pick the size where the player's actual measurements fall closest. When between sizes, size up for game-day cuts (looser, more breathable) and stay true to size for compression and fitted cuts.

Body Measurement Guide

How to Measure Accurately

Three measurements cover almost every product. Use a flexible tape measure, stand relaxed, measure over a single layer of clothing.

Chest

Measure around the fullest part of the chest, under the arms and across the shoulder blades. Tape should be level, snug but not tight. This is the primary jersey-size driver.

Waist

Measure around the natural waistline — the narrowest point between the rib cage and hips. Important for shorts, pants, and compression bottoms.

Hip

Measure around the fullest part of the hips, with feet together. Most relevant for women's-cut jerseys and shorts where the cut tapers through the hip.

Custom Sizing

Need Sizes Outside the Standard Range?

We offer custom-cut sizes at no surcharge in the same production batch as the rest of your order. Common cases we handle:

Tall cuts (added torso length) for basketball and volleyball rosters
Athletic-fit cuts (broader chest, tapered waist) for football and wrestling
Specific player measurements (chest / waist / hip in inches) on the roster sheet
International size conversion (EU / UK Medium ≈ US Small in jersey cuts — let us know your locale)

Note the request in the roster file or the quote thread — we size each piece to player and label the bag accordingly. Custom-cut sizes cannot be returned or exchanged, so confirm measurements before mockup approval.
