How do authentic jersey sizes work?

I want to get an authentic hockey jersey, but the sizes are in numbers, just wondering if anybody out there knew how the numbers (48, 56, 60, etc) matched with sizes like L, XL, XXL, etc.

    Jerseys are tough to size for wearing as streetwear because they're not made to be worn like clothes: they're made to be worn over hockey gear.

    I looked online and found a decent sizing chart for you here:

    http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/sm-hockey-jersey...

    It looks like it breaks down like this:

    Your Chest Size (inches)/ Jersey Chest Width (inches)/ Size

    36 44-48 Small

    40 48-50 Medium

    44 50-52 Large

    48 52-24 Extra Large

    52 54-56 XX Large

    As you can see, a 36 chest wears a 44-48 jersey to accomodate gear. Authentic jerseys are just always going to look weird without gear, though.

    There's a whole school of thought (I'm indifferent one way or the other, just for the record) that says that jerseys are to be worn to play hockey, or if you get someone's jersey as a souvenir, you display it but you don't wear it, and that logo gear (team windbreakers, hats, T-shirts) are what you wear to games.

    Personally, if Scott Parker gave me his jersey I'd sleep in it. Every night.

    But... you know... to wear it? It'd look stupid as street clothes. He's like 6'5". I'm 5'4". It'd be down to my knees, like a sack dress.

    On a optimistic note, appreciation rates are sturdy in New Jersey. On regular, true estate appreciated at a charge of more than 16 percent in 2005.

    With this new software program, you get all of the live football games, new films and Tv shows, not to mention countless music, news and far more. There's nothing like watching the New Jersey Devils vs Florida Panthers winning touchdown are living.
