OT: Buying a jersey..need help
Alright so I'm buying a throwback Worthy Jersey online and I was wondering about the size. I haven't bought a jersey in while, but looking at the size chart these jersey's look way too big. Is it just me or are they huge?
Btw I'm a legit 6 ft tall
EDIT: I am looking at something like this

Is it the Hardwood Classics version? I have the #32 Johnson one (medium). I'm around 5'8" and it's way too long for me. I should have gotten a small. It all depends on how you want it to fit like. For a 6 footer, I recommend a medium.

yea it is the classic hardwood. I'm guessing I should get the small because I don't want a large fit.

Re: OT: Buying a jersey..need help
im 5"10" and own a bunch of the mitchell and ness hardwood classics jerseys (including james worthy's). i tend to like them somewhat loose tho. all of my jerseys are size 48 or 50. if you dont want it too loose, then i would suggest the size 48 if you are 6 feet. if you want it more snug, then size 46, but i've always thought jersey's that don't go down to your mid thigh look wrong, but that's me.

I think the sizing is different for what I want to purchase, I was looking at this:

ahhhh...you're looking at the adidas jerseys. yes, they are longer....the size chart has the size 48 (xl) 5 inches longer than the mitchell and ness jersey. this is a tough call. the m&n jerseys fit great on me, but they are more expensive. sorry i couldnt help.

I'm 6'0... got my Worthy jersey a couple of weeks back. I wear medium cuz the large is a little loose. Medium fits great, i'm sure that'll work for you.
BTW great choice of jersey

Re: OT: Buying a jersey..need help

Thanks this helped a lot, but I'm still afraid a medium would be too loose on me...I'm a fairly skinny dude.

I'm 5'11" and I wear a M. I have a L and it fits well, but it's a little long for my liking.

I am 6'1 and 200. I buy everything in extra large. Things made today seem to not be made to shrink a little.
5'8...medium I would say would be about right.

M is the safe bet - jersey's look more awkward if they're too small then slightly large - everyone that would know who's jersey that was would understand the troubles that come in sizing them.

Re: OT: Buying a jersey..need help
Plus most are made outside of the USA and there size charts are not always the same. So a size 36 is a size 38 on a different brand. Best to buy at a store and not online.
