    Okay, so the new shirt is quickly growing on me. Unfortunately, so is my belly! Each season, I'm between the Large and the XL. Ever the optimist, I wind up buying the L.

    Any Gooners who have bought this year's top, can you tell us about the sizing?

    Nike sometimes make the large rather tight, and the XL very long. Not good for the short and stout... :)

    I'd go with the XL, as I wear medium tee-shirts, but large jerseys so they are comfortable. I got a large but its not real lose fitting or anything. And no, I'm the same weight I was back in January when I bought my last Arsenal kit.

    I'm 5'9, 170 lbs. and fairly slim...the large fits me to the tee. If you want a slightly bigger fit, go for the XL. Nike stuff almost ALWAYS runs small.

    Looks like I might fall under the Garcia sized Jersey. I have broad shoulders and I usually wear an XL shirt so for the jersey it looks like I might have to get the XXXL size.
    I have got to stop with the 12 oz. curls.

    Exactly. I normally wear XL to XXL shirts and had to get a XXXL jersey and even that is snug. I need to stop those curls as well!!

    Well, I wish my need for XXXL was bourne from doing curls. In my case it's too much beer, pizza and subs...

    ...but I'm working on that. Anyone else interested in a Slim Fast Cookie Dough Meal Bar?

    What about for women? How are the sizes for us? I usually wear a medium.

    Well, I'm currently XL-XXL for shirts. The 2 AFC kits I own are both XL. I was told by my doctor to lose 25 POUNDS! I do lift real weights (curl 25lbs).....not just beers, lol. Honestly, I have started buying (gulp) light beer and cut down on my consumption, plus running 4 days a week.
    I am definately going to splurge for this kit.

    Actually, if you ever want me to ship some KandyKakes down to you, let me know. I'd be more than happy to help.

    Does anyone know where an XXXL can be found? -- none on Arsenal.com

    I'm cutting it close according to the nike size chart. They give an XXXL range of 49-53" for chest -- if it's the low end of that, I'm in trouble (I'm 6'5"). Anybody have an XXXL that can comment?

    Something tells me nike doesn't size american football jerseys this way...

    Sh!t!!! They had them just a few days ago. I'll have to call them to see if I can back-order an XXXL.
