Keyblade Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 7 hours ago, Eastie said: Please could somehow advise how much tighter the slim fit is compared to regular fit ? I have the slim fit away kit from last season, and I also have the regular fit away kit from the season before. I went 1 size up (2XL) with slim fit and it fits just about the same as the regular kit (XL, which funnily enough is already 1 size up from what I regularly wear). It's actually amazingly somewhat tight too (only barely). I'd definitely recommend sizing up from the regular Kappa kits and if you don't have any Kappa kits, go 2 sizes up from your usual size.

Thanks I got it today and went 2 sizes up and it fits just about right now - strange how the sizing seems so different to previous villa shirt manufacturers . I tried a training shirt of kappa2 years ago and sent it back as far too tight , glad this time going 2 up fits ok Edited July 22, 2021 by Eastie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted July 23, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) Advice please. I'm thinking of getting last years home shirt. My chest measures 43" which would be somewhere between L and XL. However everyone keeps saying due to fit you need for order larger for Kappa so I was thinking of going for the 2xl which is available. Would people agree with this? My beer belly size wl be out of proportion with my chest size that is certain. Edited July 23, 2021 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My beer belly size wl be out of proportion with my chest size that is certain. I usually wear a medium t-shirt, occasionally large. I got last year's shirt in a large and it fits me perfectly. If you're L/XL, I think a 2XL should be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted July 24, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 24, 2021 Claret shorts with the home shirt always look shit but the stripes on this kit make it look particularly shit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I prefer the claret shorts over the blue ones, thought the kit looked classy enough out there. On home kits we should be due a go at black socks again some year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Are the claret shorts a hint about what the away kit will use or are they part of the training range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never understood why claret shorts get used with the home shirt. The aesthetic balance is all wrong. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only when the away team wears white shorts but we should just get them to change instead. 4 hours ago, Kuwabatake Sanjuro said: I prefer the claret shorts over the blue ones, thought the kit looked classy enough out there.

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 2011/12 was the best year in terms of using multiple combinations, seeing as we have a white away kit again this season I'd like to see something similar. https://museumofjerseys.com/2016/10/13/aston-villas-nine-kit-combinations-in-2011-12/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Pre-ordered the training kit for July 14th release. Had email to state they apologised but it was now delayed to July 21st. Since had another email to say now delayed until August 4th. Good to see they've sorted out their stock and supply issues finally 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in Nike's Dri-Fit heyday. I remember some of those combinations distinctly. The white/blue/blue away at Arsenal in the FA Cup, the away win against Chelsea when Stephen Ireland was on fire etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 This from the FCG meeting Purslow 'The home kit will go on sale in mid-July, scheduled to coincide with the end of the Euros as the focus moves away from international football and back to club football. The away kit will then follow a couple of weeks later in early August, with third kit in late August.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
