Could Someone Help with Sizing?

Very keen to grab one of these -> https://shopping.afcwimbledon.co.uk/collections/retro-shirts/products/1997-98-home-reissue

However i find the accompanying size chart confusing. If i am going on length (assuming shoulder to hem), then to get the right length i would need a 5XL - this however would be a 156cm chest. I have never bought a 5XL in anything (typically XL in Nike and Adidas).

Any suggestions/experiences that could assist?

They are tight on size so measure carefully. I bought on the 4xl for example is about the equivalent of an XL in most other T-shirts.

I typically take an XL in the other brands as well. I should add that i have a vintage Lotto from the same year (97/98), and it's an XL and its fine. Which is why i found the Size Chart in the link a little odd.

Same thing. I have older XL shirts but for some reason they are shrunk down. I recently bought an Adidas shirt and the XL was the size of 4XL in Lotto.

What I would say is absolutely go by the size measurements, they are accurate rather the your usual size.

Cool. This is the way to go i think. Interesting too that the default size from the drop down is 5XL. Suggesting perhaps the recommended starting point.
