I come from a relatively tall family (mom and dad are both at the 6’ mark) with an older brother of 8 years who was around 6’ at the time this happened. We went to England to see family, went to a Newcastle match while there, and I reallllly wanted a goalkeepers jersey. This is back when they were made by Adidas and pretty damn good quality. Thing is dad made me get one that came down to damn near my knees.

Well, that was at least 15-20 years ago (currently in my late twenties) and now at 6’5” I still wear that jersey on a weekly basis, and it fits perfectly. Like exactly where I’d want the waist to fall, arms are the perfect length, right amount of space for my body. Like he nailed the sizing right there, just guessed what I’d turn in to as I grew.
