Trying to work out the right size for your Crystal Palace fan kit can feel a bit daunting, especially with so many styles and fits from baby through to adult. You’re not alone if you’re unsure which label matches your chest or that of your child. Here’s a handy FAQ-style guide that tackles all the essential questions, so you can order with confidence and make supporting the Eagles even better.
What size kit should I buy for my child?
Finding the right size is always top concern for parents and gift-buyers. For junior and youth Crystal Palace kits, measuring round the chest is your best starting point, then check height to help with a tailored fit.
| Size Label | Age Guide | Chest (inches/cm) | Height (inches/cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS Kids | 3–4 years | 22–23” / 56–58cm | 40–43” / 104–110cm |
| S Kids | 5–6 years | 24–25” / 61–64cm | 44–46” / 111–116cm |
| M Kids | 7–8 years | 26–27” / 66–69cm | 47–50” / 117–128cm |
| L Kids | 9–10 years | 28–29” / 71–74cm | 51–54” / 129–140cm |
| XL Kids | 11–12 years | 30–31” / 76–79cm | 55–58” / 141–152cm |
| Teen | 13–14 years | 32–34” / 81–86cm | 59–63” / 153–160cm |
If between sizes, always go bigger to ensure both comfort and space for growth throughout the season.
Is there a baby or infant kit?
Absolutely – even the youngest Palace fans can show their colours early. Infant fan kits focus on gentle materials and should be sized with growth in mind, as little ones change size quickly.
| Size Label | Age | Chest (inches/cm) | Height (inches/cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3–6M | 3–6 months | 17–18” / 43–46cm | 24–26” / 62–68cm |
| 6–9M | 6–9 months | 18–19” / 46–48cm | 26–28” / 68–74cm |
| 9–12M | 9–12 months | 19–20” / 48–51cm | 28–30” / 74–80cm |
| 12–18M | 12–18 months | 20–21” / 51–53cm | 30–33” / 80–86cm |
| 18–24M | 18–24 months | 21–22” / 53–56cm | 33–36” / 86–92cm |
Soft, easy-to-wear pieces help keep infants comfortable all match long. If your baby is near the top end of a size, it’s wise to go up for extra room.
How do women’s kits fit?
Crystal Palace women’s supporter kits are styled for a closer, more tailored fit compared to men’s or unisex options. Always use chest measurement as your first reference and check waist and height for even more accuracy.
| Size | Chest (inches) | Waist (inches) | Height (inches) |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 32–34 | 24–26 | 61–63 |
| S | 34–36 | 26–28 | 63–65 |
| M | 36–38 | 28–30 | 65–67 |
| L | 38–40 | 30–32 | 67–69 |
| XL | 40–42 | 32–34 | 69–71 |
| XXL | 42–44 | 34–36 | 71–73 |
If you like a looser fit, or plan to layer clothes underneath, consider going up one size. These tend to fit on the slim side in the body and sleeves.
What chest size do I need for a men’s kit?
Men’s Crystal Palace fan versions usually match most UK high street sizing, but actual fit is a bit closer than standard leisurewear. Here’s a quick guide for chest sizes:
| Size | Chest (inches) | Chest (cm) |
|---|---|---|
| S | 35–37 | 89–94 |
| M | 38–40 | 96–102 |
| L | 41–43 | 104–109 |
| XL | 44–46 | 112–117 |
| XXL | 47–49 | 119–124 |
| 3XL | 50–53 | 127–134 |
Again, if you’re in between sizes, choose the larger. Fan kits run a bit trimmer through the torso, making extra space a comfortable choice.
Should I size up?
Choosing whether to size up comes down to personal preference and build. These supporter kits fit very much like modern performance shirts, so if you’re broad-chested or like a relaxed cut, it’s best to pick the next size up. For growing kids, teenagers, and anyone who wants room to move, the same advice stands. Measuring your chest with a tape measure under the arms and using the latest size table will give you the best results. If you’re ever unsure, choose the larger to allow for comfort, whether you’re supporting from the stands or joining in a kickabout. When it comes to finding the right look for your Crystal football Palace supporter kit, a bit of extra room is far better than squeezing into something too tight.
When is the best time to order?
The current season’s kits are always more widely available early in the league campaign and throughout the festive period, which is also when they’re most in demand for gifts. With the 2026 World Cup approaching, fan interest is set to spike, so ordering early makes sense. Stock can move quickly before major tournaments or after a run of form, especially for popular adult and junior sizes. Allow a little extra time for delivery to the EU or if you’re customising your shirt for a special gift. Ordering ahead will give peace of mind and make pre-match excitement that bit sweeter.
