Picking an NDSU Jersey Size by Measuring a Shirt at Home

The easiest way to choose an NDSU jersey size is to measure a shirt that already fits the way you like, then compare them with the size options and any sizing details shown on the product page. Lay the shirt flat, measure chest width and body length, and choose the size that lines up best. If you plan to wear it over a hoodie, lean one size up. That is the whole method; the details below make it more accurate.

What you need

• A soft tape measure, or a string and a ruler
• A short-sleeve shirt or tee that fits well
• A flat surface such as a table or bed
• The size options on the jersey’s product page

Why measure a shirt instead of your body

Body measurements change with posture and breathing, and most people pull the tape too tight. A flat shirt gives a steady number and already includes the amount of room you are comfortable with. You are basically telling the store, “I want it like this one.”

Measurement 1: Chest width

1. Lay the shirt face up and smooth out wrinkles.
2. Find the point just under both armpits.
3. Measure straight across from one side seam to the other.
4. Write the number down. If a sizing guide lists full chest instead of flat width, double your number.

Measurement 2: Body length

Measure from the highest point of the shoulder, right where it meets the collar, straight down to the bottom hem. Football jerseys are often cut longer than casual tees, so this number matters if you like to tuck or prefer a shorter look.

Measurement 3: Shoulder and sleeve

The NDSU listings are short-sleeve with a V-neck, according to the product page. If you have broad shoulders, measure seam to seam across the back of your shirt too, and keep that number handy when you read the sizing details.

Reading the result

When you land neatly on one size

Order it. Matching a shirt you already enjoy wearing is the most reliable signal you can get from home.

When you fall between two sizes

• Choose the larger size if you will layer it in cold weather or prefer a relaxed drape.
• Choose the smaller size if you will wear it alone in warm weather and like a neater fit.
• Keep in mind that the product page lists tumble dry low for care, so plan to follow that rather than counting on a hot dryer to change anything.

Sizing for someone else

Gifts are where sizes go wrong most. If you can borrow a shirt from the person’s closet, measure it the same way. If not, check the size on the label of a tee they wear often and use that as a starting point. A slightly roomy jersey is easier to enjoy than a tight one.

Applying it to the Dakota #701 listing

The Dakota #701 North Dakota State Bison Vapor Limited jersey is a place-number design, so there is no name to type, only a size to choose. That makes it a good fit for this measuring method: get the size right and the order is complete.

The same approach works across all North Dakota State Bison jerseys on the site, including the Bison #25 and Team #1 Vapor Limited listings and the custom name and number versions. Use the size options and sizing details on whichever product page you open, since that page is the source for each listing.

Quick sizing steps

1. Pick a well-fitting short-sleeve shirt.
2. Measure chest width flat, then body length.
3. Compare with the size options on the product page.
4. Size up for layering, stay put for a closer fit.
