How Does It Fit? Sizing Guidance

This shirt runs true to the printed size range but is cut slightly slimmer than retail club-shop versions. Measure your chest and match it to the size chart; if you sit between two sizes, take the larger one for a relaxed fit.

How To Style It Casually

The hero image above shows the simplest formula: straight-leg jeans, clean white trainers and no scarf or hat competing with the shirt. For colder days, layer a plain zip hoodie under the shirt and keep trousers in one of the shirt’s secondary colours. Retro kits like this read best when the rest of the outfit stays quiet.
