NBA Jersey Size & Fit Guide (Men, Women, Youth)
Sizing isn’t just a number—it’s the silhouette you want. Crisp over a tee? Roomy over a hoodie? This guide uses practical measurements and try-on notes so the size you order matches how you’ll actually wear it.
Quick Fit Notes
Swingman builds usually fit true in the chest with a slightly elongated hem. If you like a tailored street look, stay true or size down. If you plan to layer a hoodie, consider one size up. Authentic builds feel weightier and a touch roomier; the drape reads more like a game piece. Shoulder width and sleeve length of your base layer change the profile more than people expect—try the jersey with what you’ll wear underneath.
