Craigos Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 The sizes listed are s, m, l, xl, xxl, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, I presume the kids sizes are 16-24 but how big is the 16? It doesn't appear on the size guides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Only thing i know is that their sizing is made for the sterotypical asian man! Always go at least one or two sizes bigger than your UK size. Presume size 16 is the woman size and don't know what that would relate to in a man size? If you need a kids size then would just go small? Also, couple of points from experience... The modern Scotland tops look the part and can't see much difference from the authentic ones. However, the top we wore at the recent qualifiers, I bought one of these from DHGate and the white round trimming around the neck started to fade very quickly into a horrible off white/creamy/slight yellowy colour and it really put me off wearing it. Furthermore, the material of Scotland tops they sell is quite different to the actual tops and they retain heat so you'll be sweating if you're waring it for too long and it starts to feel uncomfortable and can get smelly unless you spray it heavily on the outside and inside armpit bits and it's just not worth it. They're only really good for the retro tops because just about everywhere you can get a retro top is not authentic or you are paying hundreds of pounds from Classic Football Shirts for example and a lot of the time they are not in mint condition.

Their sizing is ridiciulous and untrustworthy, it's not as if you can just simply return it for a bigger size and most people won't anyway due to the low cost. However, you're better off just paying more and shopping locally as you get what you pay for so to speak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a great France 1998 with Zidane name and number on the back and looks the part. I'm usually a large but tend to go for XL or XXL as they can be tight as anything.

romanticscot Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 DH Gate is not something that I can wear. I wear an XXL, I would equate a DHG XXL to an official Large. If you wear larger than large(no pun intended) I wouldn't get your hopes us. Save your pennies up, or wait until late 2025 and get one off ebay.

mwng Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Got the red pinstripe top xl for the last euros and ended up giving it to my wife. If you’re a large get the biggest size possible. Any bigger forget about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runningtings Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I recently bought a 1986 tap from DHGate in a Large, when it arrived it was a Large, all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanticscot Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I have 7 or 8 DH Gate shirts that I've bought and none of them fit me. I have a pal who is a large and the XXL's ft him perfectly. I am 6ft 4 and 220lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sempre Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Been using DH Gate for years and usually they're fine. Bought a few Scotland retro tops and they were spot on, and the Roma away top. However, before the Spain/France double header I was putting an order in, and my mate asked me to get his girlfriend her first Scotland top (the women's away one) and him a retro away top. They had to swap shirts because his was too small and hers too big, plus he wanted her name on the back and instead they put McGinn! Depends what seller you go with I guess.

Been a mixture of both, the newer tops are not as good as the retro from experience though, I'd rather just go to JD and pay the money if need be. I'm normally a large in normal t-shirts but go XL in football tops as I don't like them skin tight but they end up being a bit long or too big slightly. However, Dhgate for me is usually an xl and fits perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajax Jambo Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Do the DH Gate ones come with the Umbro / Adidas logos on them? the website shows most without. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some bizarre reason they won’t show it on their website copywrite I guess, but in the same breath clearly selling hookey jerseys. Take a look at the reviewers pictures to get a good idea of the shirts. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
