Measuring at Home for an Eastern Michigan Eagles Jersey Size

To choose an Eastern Michigan Eagles jersey size, measure your chest and your preferred shirt length at home, or lay a shirt you already like flat and measure it, then compare those numbers with the size chart on the product page you are ordering from. That takes about five minutes with a soft tape measure and removes most of the guesswork. This guide walks through both methods, explains how to account for layering, and covers what to do when you fall between two sizes.

What you need

• A soft tape measure (a piece of string and a ruler works in a pinch)
• A shirt that fits the way you like a jersey to fit
• A flat surface such as a bed or table
• A pen and paper, or your phone’s notes app

Method one: measure your body

1. Chest. Stand relaxed with arms at your sides. Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms and across the shoulder blades. Keep it level and snug but not tight. Write the number down.
2. Length. Have someone measure from the top of your shoulder, next to the collar, straight down to where you want the hem to land. Some people like a jersey at the hip; others prefer it a little longer.
3. Shoulders (optional). Measure across the back from one shoulder point to the other. This helps if you have broad shoulders and want to avoid a tight feel across the upper back.

Measure over the kind of shirt you would normally wear underneath. A bare-chest measurement is fine if you plan to wear the jersey over a thin tee only.

Method two: measure a shirt you already like

This method is often more reliable, because it reflects how you actually like clothes to fit.

1. Lay the shirt flat, front side up, and smooth out wrinkles.
2. Measure straight across the chest from armpit seam to armpit seam. Double that number to get the full chest width.
3. Measure length from the highest point of the shoulder, beside the collar, down to the bottom hem.
4. Note whether the shirt has stretch. A very stretchy tee can feel roomier than its measurements suggest.

Comparing with the size options

Open the listing you are interested in from the Eastern Michigan Eagles jersey collection and find the size chart on that product page. Compare your chest and length numbers with each size. Check whether the chart lists body measurements or garment measurements, because that changes how you read it. Body measurements should match your tape numbers; garment measurements should be compared with your flat-shirt numbers.

The listings describe a V-neck cut with short sleeves, a reinforced tagless collar and a 100% recycled polyester body. Those details describe the cut and the fabric; the size chart is where the actual numbers live, so let the chart, not the description, settle the size.

Planning for layers

If you watch games outdoors late in the season, you may wear a hoodie or thermal underneath. Measure while wearing that layer, or add the extra room you need to your flat-shirt number. Many fans who layer heavily choose the next size up, but your own measurements against the chart are the better guide.

Between two sizes?

• Choose the larger if you plan to layer, prefer a relaxed look or have broad shoulders.
• Choose the smaller if you will wear it over a thin tee and like a closer fit through the body.
• Check length too. If one size matches your chest but is shorter than you like, length may be the deciding factor.

Sizing a gift without asking

Buying for someone else? Borrow one of their favorite shirts for a few minutes and use method two. It keeps the surprise intact and gives you real numbers to work with.

Applying it to a real listing

Say you have your eye on the Eagles #25 Eastern Michigan Eagles 2025 Vapor Limited jersey. Open the page, find the chart, and run your numbers against it before choosing a size. The same steps apply to other listings in the category, such as a Terry Lockett Jr #3 listing, a Tavierre Dunlap #21 listing or the Team #1 listing, as well as the custom options if you want your own name and number. Colors in the category include Black, Green and White plus alternate versions, and the color does not change how you measure.

Keep your numbers

Save your chest, length and preferred size in your phone. Next time you order a jersey, you can skip the tape measure and go straight to the chart.
