Current kit kids sizes

[kitch]

Sorry for starting a new thread, I did do a quick search but I couldn't find a thread to tack this onto the end of, and I need to move fairly swiftly on this.

 

One of my boys (6yrs old, but quite small) has declared he wants the away green shirt for Xmas. Happy to get him one (obviously) but the only size left is 5-6yrs. I remember the fun and games we all had with last season's ones, but the Adidas ones before that were ok I seem to remember?

 

Wondered if anyone's been there and done it, and found that the 5-6 shirt is massively over or under-sized, or something?

 

Cheers chaps

My 9 year old grandson is small but the 9/10 is just about ok for him !

I would have been reluctant to get anything smaller though and I doubt whether 5-6 will be ok for your boy !

Cheers. He wears 4-5 gear at the moment (school stuff) so he is quite small, but obviously we can't easily check it. I'll probably just get him one, as the next size up is 7-8 and it'd probably be like a dress, even if it was available.

Why don't you take a shirt that currently fits him along to one of the stores and measure it against a shirt off the shelf?

Sounds the same age range and size of my middle boy. He has the 5/6 home kit and it's a perfect fit.

my eldest 2 (5 and 8 at the time, just before the start of the season) in their shirts. 5/6 and 7/8 sizes. Both of them short to middle in height in their years.

Had thought this, but it's just a struggle with time etc.

Quick update to the thread:

 

My missus went out yesterday, just on the off-chance, to JD Sports in Whiteley. She found an away 7-8 sized shirt, and rang me because it looked very small. Bearing in mind that size has sold out in the Saints store, and every JD Sports in the area (we've tried) she grabbed it and brought it home last night.

 

We compared it with his SY sized home shirt from last season, and to be honest the 7-8 version is barely any bigger! So if I'd have gone 5-6 I would have indeed found it too small for him, no doubt. Nice shirt though, it's really grown on me from the beginning of the season where I thought it was awful!

 

Thanks for advice again

That's because last year's SY was ridiculously small (like every other size), not because this year's are big!

That's what I'm saying though - the 7-8 year version I've just got is barely any bigger than the small youth size from last year, and that was a good fit on my little 5yr old (he was 5 at the time) boys. If anything, I was amazed at how small the new one seems, as I assumed size for size it'd be much bigger than last seasons as last seasons were so small, but it looks like the 7-8 shirt will be a snug fit on a small 6 year old.

 

Not that it matters much now as they're nearly all sold out and the new one will be out before long.
