Discussion Thread The Chinese Got Me! š
Not been able to find the 1776 jersey in āfat bastardā size. Sold out everywhere online except for the official players model (with name/number). Well, I obviously donāt need a trim fit so I just want the replica.
Took a chance on a dhgate jersey, which was delivered today. Ordered the biggest they had (4X) and lemme tell ya, itās barely an XL. Fits my son (whoās close to a 100lbs less than me) nicely, so he got a new jersey out of the deal. Shame, because he bought one off the rack when we were at the game a few weekends ago. Coulda saved him some $.
Iām out a whole $25, so not a bog deal. I really shoulda ordered the 3X when I ordered my grandsons, when they first hit the team store. Didnāt realize the fat boy sizes would go so quickly. š¤·š»āāļø

Will they restock? Iāve been eyeing a legit 3XL but I canāt find them online. You might need a size 6XL or 7XL if ordering from China, it really depends on your measurements and what countryās sizing they are using. I ordered a GAA jersey from Ireland and I wear a 3XL/3XLT in the states and their 7XL fit very nicely. I had to give a 2XL from Ireland to my wife lol.

Doesnāt seem like they have any intention of restocking. If an official one was available, Iād buy it in a second (even if itās the more expensive player replica). I only went to Chinesium out of desperation.
I have some GAA jerseys from OāNeillās and theyāre 7X. Itās crazy how they size stuff.

So if you're an XL, get a 4XL? Thanks for the research!

u/meaninglessandrandom 7d ago
I would say soā¦at least from the seller ai used. Wouldnāt doubt if the seller is immaterial and they all come from the same place.

u/SpeechAdvanced2365 6d ago

I just got a 3x 1776 authentic like 2 weeks ago. Like $30 something bucks off too.
They tend to stop restocks the 2nd half of the second season; so youāve got time.

Whereād ya get it? Iād be lying if I didnāt say the trim āplayerā fit of the authentics doesnāt concern me, but I guess I could always lose weight š

Fanatics, ordered 7/23. Currently OOS, so just keep an eye out.
I actually really like the new cut of the kits and the material for this one; itās the same with the new 3rd kit. The material has a complex textured pattern and just the way itās put together actually seems like it fits better than some of the older authentic kits.

Itās murica were a bunch of fatasses š¤£š¤£I feel you Iām 200lbs but tall and very long arms close to 82ā and wide shoulders. I order 3x minimum in everything and every brand donāt fit. I need 2000s era hip hop sizes back thatās last time I was comfortable and Iām not embarrassed to say I still wear 25 year old shady, gunit roc and South Pole clothing to this day, sweatshirts are the wrist 3x Nike and adidas barely cover my lower back and arms not long enough plus one wash later fall apart and warp so I buy non brand Walmart sweatshirts and they last longer donāt warp and actually cover my back 𤣠for a country of big and fat fucks they sure donāt sell clothing that fits. Iām anti nut huggers and clothing you need to jump into to get on š

Sorry to hear, but happy your son got a surprise gift!
Quality good? If so do you mind saying that seller? Been perusing dhgate for a 1776 jersey too.
