To pick an Old Dominion Monarchs jersey size at home, take one body measurement around the fullest part of your chest, confirm it against a shirt that fits well, and then choose from the size options on the product page, going one size up if you plan to wear a layer underneath. Doing both the body check and the shirt check takes five minutes and removes most of the guesswork, especially on a custom jersey where your name is already on the back.
Why sizing matters more on a custom jersey
A custom name and number makes the jersey personal, which also means it is not something you want to second-guess after ordering. Spending a few minutes on measurements up front is the easiest way to feel confident at checkout.
Method A: Measure your body
This works best with a helper, but you can do it alone in front of a mirror.
- Wear a thin T-shirt, not a sweater.
- Wrap a soft tape around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms and across the shoulder blades.
- Keep the tape level and snug, but not tight. You should be able to slide a finger under it.
- Breathe normally and read the number.
Write the number down. This is your body chest, which some sizing information uses directly.
Method B: Measure a shirt you like
A shirt measurement shows how much room you like beyond your body.
- Lay a short-sleeve shirt flat on a table.
- Measure across the chest from one armpit seam to the other.
- Double that number for a full circumference.
- Measure length from the shoulder beside the collar to the bottom hem.
The difference between Method A and Method B is your preferred ease, the extra room that feels right to you.
Putting both numbers to work
Open the size options on the product page and look for any sizing information there. If it gives body measurements, use Method A. If it gives garment measurements, use Method B. If it gives only size names, use the size you normally buy in a short-sleeve V-neck, since the product page describes these jerseys as V-neck with short sleeves.
Layering and climate
Game days in the fall can start warm and end chilly. Ask yourself whether the jersey will be worn over a hoodie or long sleeves for part of the season.
- Mostly on its own: stay with your measured size.
- Often over a layer: go one size up.
- Both: choose the size that works with the thinner layer you use most.
Between sizes?
When your numbers fall right on a line, use these tie-breakers:
- Prefer a relaxed look? Larger size.
- Shorter torso and dislike extra length? Smaller size.
- Buying for a growing teen? Larger size.
Color and line do not change fit advice
The custom 2025 Vapor jersey comes in white, navy, navy alternate and blue. Choose the color you prefer; your sizing approach stays the same for each one.
After it arrives
The product page lists machine wash and tumble dry low for care. Keeping the dryer on low helps the jersey hold the fit you picked.
Ready to order
Once you know your size, head to the custom Old Dominion Monarchs name and number 2025 Vapor jersey in white. Enter your name and number by following the instructions on the product page. If you would rather skip the lettering, the Old Dominion Monarchs jersey range also has ready-made designs such as the Norfolk #757 and Monarchs #25 Vapor Limited listings.
Five-minute checklist
- Measure chest on the body.
- Measure chest and length on a favorite shirt.
- Match to the sizing on the product page.
- Adjust for layers.
- Use the tie-breakers if you land between sizes.
