BENFICA HOME JERSEY - HOW IT FITS AND WHAT SIZE TO BUY
This home shirt is cut to sit between two worlds. It is slim enough to layer under a jacket without bunching at the shoulder, and roomy enough through the body that a full ninety minutes of movement never feels restricted.
Fit is a personal thing for As Aguias supporters - some want it tight for the ground, others loose for the street. This home shirt is cut to work either way.
Sizing Notes for the Benfica Home Shirt
Athletic Shoulder
Slightly closer through the shoulder than a casual tee, which keeps the silhouette clean.
Stretch Collar Opening
The ribbed collar gives enough stretch to pull on comfortably without losing its shape.
Shape Retention
The recycled knit recovers after washing instead of stretching out at the collar and hem.
True-to-Size Block
Chest and length follow standard sizing, so your usual size is the correct starting point.
Size and Fit Guide
This Benfica home shirt is built on an athletic regular block. In practice that means the chest measurement matches standard sizing, the shoulder is slightly closer than a casual tee, and the body falls straight rather than tapering.
Two rules cover almost every case. If you want the shirt to look like it does on matchday, take your usual size. If you want it as an everyday layer over a tee or under a jacket, go up one size and the short sleeve profile will sit exactly where you want it.
- Measure the fullest part of the chest, tape level and snug
- Usual size for a close matchday fit
- One size up for a relaxed street or layering fit
- Youth and kids' ranges follow the same block - shop by age bracket
- Cold wash and line dry to protect the fit long term
How Supporters Wear It
Fit preference changes how you wear it. Take your usual size for a closer matchday look, or size up once for a relaxed fit that layers over a tee - both work with the short sleeve profile.

Care Instructions
Cold wash and line dry are not just care advice - they are what protects the fit. Heat is what causes a synthetic knit to lose recovery, so skip the tumble dryer and the block stays exactly as it was on day one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I size up or down?
Take your usual size for a matchday fit. If you prefer a relaxed street look or plan to layer over a tee, go up one size - that is the more forgiving direction.
Will it shrink in the wash?
No. The recycled eco-poly knit is dimensionally stable. Cold wash, avoid the tumble dryer and the fit stays exactly as it arrived.
Do the women's and youth sizes follow the same fit?
The block is consistent across the range, so the same chest measurement maps to the same fit. Check the individual size chart for each range before ordering.
