Size Guide

Everything below is the garment measured flat, not your body. Chest is the full width from armpit seam to armpit seam; length runs from the highest shoulder point down to the hem. Fastest way to get it right: take a jersey that fits you well, measure it the same way, and match the numbers.

Men's / Unisex Big & Tall Authentic (numbered) Youth Preschool / Toddler Women's
Diagram: measure straight across the chest from armpit seam to armpit seam, and from the top of the shoulder down to the hem
ChestLay the jersey flat and measure straight across, from one armpit seam to the other. That full width is the number in the chart - so a chart reading of 44 in means the shirt measures 44 in across, not a 44 in body.
LengthFrom the highest point of the shoulder straight down to the bottom hem, with the jersey laid flat and smoothed out.

Men's / Unisex Jerseys

XS - 5XL

Authentic - Numbered Sizing

36 - 64

Some Authentic styles are sold by number instead of letter. The number is the chest width in inches - so a size 48 measures 48 in across. Use the letter column to translate your usual size.

Number Equals Chest (in) Length (in) Chest (cm) Length (cm)
36 XS 36 29 91 74
40 S 40 30 102 76

Youth Jerseys

XL 13-14 yrs 34-36 26 86-91 66

Preschool & Toddler

2T - 7 / 12M - 24M

Worded by age rather than letter on purpose - this is the range where children grow fastest, so measure a shirt that fits today and match the chest.

Size Age Chest (in) Length (in) Chest (cm) Length (cm)
12M 12-18 mo 18-19 13 46-48 33

Women's Jerseys

01
Cut for comfort

Basketball jerseys are meant to hang loose. If you want a regular, closer fit, order one size below your usual.

02
Between sizes?

Go up. The extra room is how the cut is designed to be worn, and it layers over a hoodie in winter without pulling.

03
Compare, don't guess

Match the numbers to a shirt you already own rather than to your body. Printed names and numbers on the back do not change the fit.

Numbers are taken flat and can vary by roughly 1 in / 2 cm between styles, and Youth overlaps Preschool at age 7 - in that case Youth S is the slightly longer of the two. Still unsure? Contact us with your height, usual size and the jersey you are looking at, and we will tell you which one to take.

Description

For the era you keep going back to: Hakeem Olajuwon Throwback in Houston Rockets Navy — the sort of jersey that ends up in the weekly rotation.

There is a version of this jersey for the collector and a version for the wearer. This is the second kind. Everything about the front says Houston Rockets; everything about the back says Hakeem Olajuwon Throwback. The graphics are built up in layers and heat-set, so the front and back hold their shape.

The material is 100% recycled polyester, and the wicking finish does the heavy lifting on warm evenings. A taped, tagless neckline keeps the interior smooth, so there is nothing to adjust while you watch. It pairs with jeans, shorts or whatever is clean, which is most of why it gets worn weekly. It layers under a hoodie without bunching at the shoulders. It arrives ready to wear — no odd smell, no stiff finish, no first-wash surprise.
