MickeyC_UTV Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Anyway, training top fit - I’m usually a M/L depending on the cut/make, this is (XL) feels a little tight but considering what others have said I’m not overly surprised, seems a little long in the body for me as I’m just under 6ft but not as tight around the arms (not a gym goer), but all in all not bad, sponsor logo looks like it could come off after a couple of washes though )maybe the way it way folded ) which maybe not a bad thing for some....

It is made of different materials, it's more breathable and it's likely less durable than the cheaper shirt. The change of materials also mean even if you're an 8% body fat god it's going to cling to you like spandex. Most fans, even the fans that are in good shape should probably still get the regular £55 version of the shirt. That elite model is for those that want the exact same shirt the players wear, but unless they are chiselled as ****, they're going to look like a sausage wearing it. Your posts are always worth looking out for but this in particular is a peach. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 If you're concerned about sizing and not close enough to go & try one on just take a trip to your local sports direct or something. The one by me has a whole rack of generic kappa football shirts & tops etc. Now the cut may not be exactly the same as this shirt template as they do actually make some slightly looser fitting stuff but any of their performance type stuff will give you a very good idea. They are all very snug, 2 sizes above your usual tshirt size seems to be a pretty good guide if you don't want it to look like it has been painted on.

NS1989 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Any update on the 3rd kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyjsg Posted July 27, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 27, 2019 I agree on the sizing, the main kit medium is maybe a little smaller than normal, but I’m in good nick at the moment from lots of running and the medium training top is pretty tight.

I guess those shirts for work that I got from marks and Spencer must’ve been elite fit too then. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPower_14 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Away kit is beautiful, i'm just worried about the cut, and given i'm ordering from Australia, I can't really try before I buy. For those that actually have their hands on a kit, what is the cut of the shoulders like? Is it as bad as it was in Mings' announcement photos etc?

Sewn on mate. If you get the Elite shirt its Rubber like last years. Training kits are printed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy enough with that! Any older Roma shirts I had were sewn on and I’d no issue with the quality of the shirt! Thanks mate! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Looking at the players shirts I reckon it’s just the elite kit that has that weird shoulder thing going on. Maybe it’s something to do with how tight they fit at the shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted July 28, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 28, 2019 Just noticed on the tags (of the training top) it says “slim fit”. It would be kinda helpful if this was noted somewhere on the website. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withes_shin Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) Went to the club shop on Saturday to get the kids shirts for the season, was waiting to get them printed when one of the shop assistants asked if they had tried them on because he said "they are coming up small". Last year they had juniors top this year is a medium adult. Now I know kids grow but bloody hell that is some growth spurt! (plus an extra £10 a shirt because of course they wanted the sponsor logos on, premier league badge, etc...) Not sure if this helps anyone on the sizing but there you go.

Derryvillan Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 My sons top has just arrived there now.Its a mens large.A bit tight on him and he was considering sending it back.In comparison my old Nike blue acorns large is a very loose fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukes Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 i'm a standard large (42" inch chest), this year I had to get the XXL in training kit, and that fits nice in the body, but it's practically round my knees and i'm 6ft !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 If I can squeeze into an XL I'll be happy but if I need the XXL and it's down to my ankles then I wont be buying anything from villa/kappa I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted July 29, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 29, 2019 I usually fit in a XL without issues. I got the striped pre-match top delivered today. What a farce. It's now in the possession of my daughter who is a Small/Medium usually. Aim 2 sizes above your normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
