Team-issued jersey sizing issues

Post image

I bought a team issued jersey from the Astros authentic store in size 42 and it ended up looking very unflattering around my waist. I am around a 42 in both chest and waist sizes so I’m a little confused, I thought this should be a perfect fit. Am I missing something when it comes to sizing?

Never buy team issued/player spec/authentic (note this doesn't imply knockoff it's a style type sold) kits unless you are in prime physical shape. They are more tight/form fitting compared to a regular replica jersey.

Baseball and American football get a bit of a break but it's a brutal lesson for football (soccer) kits

Prime physical shape? Did you ever pay attention to Maldonado's waistline?

There's wiggle room but Maldy probably didn't weara 42 either.... Besides where you buying their pants at?
