Additional Information

At Hope & Glory Sportswear we provide three measurements for all our garments (see illustrations above), these are;

Actual chest width: This is the the measurement across the front of the shirt from just underneath the armpit when laid flat.

Actual chest size: This refers to the actual measurement around the garment just underneath the armpit itself when worn – not your chest size.

Chest to fit size: This refers to the size of the shirt wearers chest.

How To Measure.

Measuring Your Ideal “Actual Chest Width”.
Find one of your existing t shirts or football shirts that know fits as you like and measure it from armpit to armpit. This is what we refer to as the ‘actual chest width’ of our garments.

How to Measure Your Chest.
To measure your chest size, run a fabric tape measure under your arms and fit it around the fullest part of your chest. It’s important to have the tape measure parallel to the ground, not dipping, sagging or twisted which distorts the measurement.Take note of the measurement at the point where the tape crosses, ensuring you can breathe easily. This is your ‘chest size‘.

Sizing Tips.

Men.
If you want your shirt to be a tight fit then you should select the actual garment chest size that would be 5cm (2″) bigger than your chest size. If you want your shirt to be a loose fit then you should select the actual garment chest size that would be 10cm (4″) bigger than your chest size.

PRO-FIT Men.
Our Pro-Fit shirts are designed to be a “slim fit” garment. They are much slimmer fitting in all areas.

Ladies.
Our ladies shirts are all shaped for a ‘ladies fit’ – this means they taper slightly around you mid section to give a comfortable fit around the chest. We advise you select the actual garment chest size that is 8cm (3″) bigger than your chest size.

All ladies differ – the fit will vary depending on your preference.

Junior.
We advise juniors select the actual garment chest size that is around 8-10cm(3-4″) bigger than the child’s chest size for a comfortable fit.

CHORLEY travel to the north-east tomorrow to face Enterprise National League North leaders South Shields.

The Magpies are aiming to bounce back from defeat in midweek when they were beaten 4-1 at the 1st Cloud Arena, with Harry Ibbitson netting a late consolation.

Despite that result, Andy Preece’s side remain in touch with the early frontrunners and will be looking to respond positively against the Mariners.

Last Time Out

Chorley’s unbeaten run came to an end on Saturday as South Shields produced a strong performance to knock the Magpies out of the Emirates FA Cup.

Goals from Will Jenkins (2), Paul Blackett and Dan Dodds put the hosts out of sight before Ibbitson struck late on for the Magpies.

Chorley come into this game, sitting third in the table with 19 points from ten games.

Opposition Focus

Tomorrow’s opponents South Shields have set the pace at the top of the division, with Watson’s side winning nine of their opening ten matches.

They have the best defence in the league, conceding just five goals, and are spearheaded by in-form striker Blackett, who already has eight to his name this season.

Last weekend, they claimed a 2-1 win at Curzon Ashton before Saturday’s victory over Chorley extended their lead at the summit.

Head-to-Head

Last season’s meetings brought plenty of drama, with South Shields rescuing a 95th-minute equaliser in a 3-3 draw at the 1st Cloud Arena before Chorley won the return 2-1 at Victory Park.
