BORUSSIA DORTMUND THIRD JERSEY - HOW IT FITS AND WHAT SIZE TO BUY
Fit is the reason most shirt orders go wrong, so here is the short version. The Borussia Dortmund third shirt uses an athletic regular cut: close through the chest without being tight, straight through the body, and true to size. Take your usual size for a match-day feel, or go up one if you want a relaxed street fit.
Fit is a personal thing for Die Schwarzgelben supporters - some want it tight for the ground, others loose for the street. This third shirt is cut to work either way.
Sizing Notes for the Borussia Dortmund Third Shirt
Straight Body Cut
A straight fall through the torso avoids the tapered shape that makes some shirts feel tight.
Easy Exchange Sizing
A well-defined size range makes it straightforward to order the right option first time.
Athletic Shoulder
Slightly closer through the shoulder than a casual tee, which keeps the silhouette clean.
True-to-Size Block
Chest and length follow standard sizing, so your usual size is the correct starting point.
Size and Fit Guide
This Borussia Dortmund third 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
Because the block stays consistent between men's, women's, youth and kids' ranges, buying for a family or a group is a matter of following the size chart rather than guessing each time.

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.
How do I measure myself?
Measure around the fullest part of the chest with the tape level and snug but not tight, then match that figure against the size chart on this page. Chest measurement is the one that matters most for this block.
