If you are wondering about sizes, the large is slim fitting on 41" chest and feels relatively short in length. The pockets are not particularly generous, but will cetainly carry a light rain jacket, a banana and house keys (although there's no zipped pocket for added security). Otherwise, it's a well made, decent jersey, and some nice touches with the embroidery (stitching thread colour yellow on left, pink on right). It looks just as good in the flesh as it does on screen. Dropped one star for price.
This is a beautiful jersey, and without doubt of high quality manufacture, and looks sensational, doing justice to the achievements of Stephen Roche in 1987. That said, the size chart is not accurate, so where I should have fitted comfortably into the XL based upon the chart measurements and weights, it is a very neat fit and if I had known I should have purchased the next size up, XXL (now not available). So find your size based upon the chart then purchase the next larger size, if available. It is a pity because this jersey is not cheap, and it would have been nice to have a perfect/comfortable fit. Just have to do more kilometres!!
