John Boy Saint Posted 15 August, 2014 Posted 15 August, 2014 Rather than start a new thread retrieved this from the murky depths. Being a very lucky boy and getting 2 home shirts for my Birthday (there you go nicely set up for the jokers) I went to the megastore and swapped one for an away shirt. I said that I would take a 4xl as they were "the largest you do". "Oh no says the young lady we have 5xl too!". As I tried it on she said new stock was coming soon and that they are considering going up to 7XL because they came in much smaller than expected!! She then said that even she needed a 2XL they were so small, looking at her you thought, who the hell test drove them before signing off the order?! When I got home and gave Mrs JBS a twirl we discovered that XL means Extra Long, still I ain't going to get a cold bum this winter!!

Is it 'one of those outfits'?
benjii Posted 15 August, 2014 Posted 15 August, 2014 As an aside, I nailed a girl in the yellow away kit in Cardiff after the cup final. True story.
John Boy Saint Posted 15 August, 2014 Posted 15 August, 2014 Do you often dress up for your good lady in football shirts? Is it 'one of those outfits'? Yup AND I have 6" Stilettos to match.......... You saucy boy
sotonist Posted 15 August, 2014 Posted 15 August, 2014 who the hell test drove them before signing off the order?! probably the same person.
OfnPanad Posted 15 August, 2014 Posted 15 August, 2014 I think I'll go for a cheap Chinese knock off of the cheap Chinese knock off....

stknowle Posted 15 August, 2014 Posted 15 August, 2014 As an aside, I nailed a girl in the yellow away kit in Cardiff after the cup final. True story. For clarity, was it you in the yellow away kit or the 'nailed' girl?
John Boy Saint Posted 15 August, 2014 Posted 15 August, 2014 If I may ask, what size were you in last year's shirt? 2XL in the last Umbro (Pinstripe)
Dark Munster Posted 15 August, 2014 Posted 15 August, 2014 I was looking for dodgy streams. Wrong thread?
benjii Posted 16 August, 2014 Posted 16 August, 2014 For clarity, was it you in the yellow away kit or the 'nailed' girl? The girl. "Keep it on".
Miltonaggro Posted 16 August, 2014 Posted 16 August, 2014 The girl. "Keep it on". You sure it wasn't Jo Tessem?
krissyboy31 Posted 16 August, 2014 Posted 16 August, 2014 Why didn't they just resize them? Just a thought!
CaymanSaint Posted 25 August, 2014 Posted 25 August, 2014 Just got my shirt that I ordered online, sizing a joke, will never wear it, complete waste of 50 quid...Thanks Saints
Raging Bull Posted 25 August, 2014 Posted 25 August, 2014 Got an away kit for my son and came with a ready made split in the seam on the shoulder. Good to see no expense spared, literally.
Whitey Grandad Posted 25 August, 2014 Posted 25 August, 2014 Bought shirts for two of my grandchildren on Saturday. The 11 year old had to have an adult medium and the 6 year old an 11-12. The sizing is a ridiculous joke.
Block34 Posted 25 August, 2014 Posted 25 August, 2014 Just done a compare between the new away shirt and the old 'pin-stripe' Umbro home shirt - quite simply, on the pin-strip, there is, in effect, an additional panel of material, about 2" or so wide, running down each side of the shirt that is 'missing' on the new shirt and it is this that gives the extra roominess that is missing with the new kit. New kit is longer though. Maybe something missing/omitted/forgotten from the new design?
CaymanSaint Posted 25 August, 2014 Posted 25 August, 2014 Send it back!! I ordered it to a mate in UK who brought it here, it's not worth the 2 lots of international shipping to send it back.
Window Cleaner Posted 25 August, 2014 Posted 25 August, 2014 I ordered it to a mate in UK who brought it here, it's not worth the 2 lots of international shipping to send it back. Just have to look out for a thin tramp then, boost our visibilty amongst the homeless, if there are even such a thing in the Cayman Islands.
simo Posted 25 August, 2014 Posted 25 August, 2014 Got the boy who's 8 a large boy and when he pulled it over his head the stitching around the neck came undone and it barely fits him , it's going back tomorrow!
Atlanta Saint Posted 25 August, 2014 Posted 25 August, 2014 Sorry, but don't you guys go at least 1 if not 2 sizes bigger so you can put the shirt over some warmer clothing in winter? I do for sure but even though I'm now down to a XL from a 2XL, I'll still likely go for a 3XL - after all, it's not a firkin fashion show! My red home shirt from two years ago is a Large, Last years is an XL. this year I've sent back the XL(it was too small) and ordered a XXL. And I am the same size and have not changes and the other 2 shirts still fit fine.
