Wrexham fans planning to buy a new shirt ahead of next season should pay close attention to sizing, especially if they are ordering online from outside the UK.
Recent feedback from supporters has been fairly consistent. Many have found the fit to be slimmer and longer in the body than expected, with some choosing to go up a size or two to get the fit they want.
That does not mean everyone will need the same adjustment, but it does highlight the risk of simply guessing your usual size, especially if you are buying from abroad.
Wrexham shirts tend to fit slim
The main message from fans is clear. Wrexham shirts are not always a relaxed fit.
Many supporters say they have gone up at least one size from their usual size, while some in the US have gone up two. A closer fit might only need one size up, but a looser, more casual feel often means two sizes up is the safer choice.
If you like to wear your shirt over a hoodie or base layer, it is even more important to size up. What fits on its own might not work once you start layering.
Build matters more than the label
It is not just about chest size. The cut plays a big role in how the shirts fit.
Fans with slimmer builds might only need to go up one size, while those who carry more weight around the middle often find two sizes up more comfortable.
Some have also noticed the shirts can be quite long, so sizing up for width can sometimes add more length than expected.
That is why it is worth checking actual measurements, including chest, waist and length, instead of relying purely on the size label.
US supporters should be extra cautious
American sizing does not always match up with UK and European football shirt sizing, and that has caused confusion for some fans buying from overseas.
Many have found that a US size can translate to one or even two sizes larger in Wrexham shirts. For example, fans who typically wear an XL in the US have sometimes found 2XL or even 3XL more comfortable in Wrexham gear.
It is not that the sizing is wrong. It is just different from what many US supporters are used to.
With the added cost of shipping and returns, getting it wrong can be an expensive mistake.
The safest advice before buying
If you prefer a slimmer fit, start by considering one size up. For a more relaxed fit, or if you are between sizes, two sizes up is usually the safer choice based on supporter feedback.
If you can, try one on before ordering. If not, measure a shirt you already like and compare it to the club shop’s size guide.
With the new Wrexham shirt likely to be a popular purchase again next season, spending a few extra minutes to check the fit could save you from ending up with a shirt that looks great but never gets worn.

Can we also talk about how these shirts are not meant for women’s bodies, i.e. those with even the smallest boobs? I hate that they don’t make the women’s kit shirts available for purchase. There is no sizing formula for women when it comes to the kits. You’re either wearing it as a dress in order for it to fit your chest, or wearing a normal length shirt so tight that it becomes a compression garment. Seriously considering taking mine to a tailor so I don’t look ridiculous wearing it.
Great point Kristie, feels like the club are missing a trick with this. They must have a ladies supplier for the Wrexham Womens team so why don’t they sell them?
