    Now available for pre-order for 34.99
    Available to buy in shop on 3rd August for 42.99 - when the season starts!

    But the stupid thing is that if you pre-order the estimated dispatch date is wed 7th august!

    Is it me, or are we completely incapable of getting the shirts ready BEFORE the new season. Not when it starts.

    £15 for delivery to Rep of Irl and allow 28 days delivery. Something not right. Should someone inform the club that we are neighbours?

    they look brilliant but to get one delivered to Ireland costs an extra £15 in postage and will take 28 days. all in it will cost €70
    that's taking the piss in my book.

    Maybe we should put in a group order and collect/post them in Ireland ;)

    youd have to be mad to pre order by mail with the mad sizing lotto do, now theyve even got the gay skin tight arms so I can see more than a few returned.

    Good point flyer, would be a very expensive purchase if he had to be sent back!

    This lot would likely sign up for a bulk order then?

    I'm going the Sheffield Wednesday game, I'll pick one up for you if you like?? Same to other Irish R's. If you want me to pick one up for you, send me a PM.

    I ordered 4 this morning online and the delivery charge is only £5. Maybe they made a mistake?

    It would be like the 1st home game when we got lotto and people pre ordered them, there were literally hundreds of fat boys in large shirts that were 3 sizes too small. It wasnt a pretty site but pretty daft theyd still wear them rather than swap them.

    I've seen those characters in the crowd at games!

    So to get around the tight arms, perhaps short sleeves might be a better option than long?

    I'm 6' 1" 250 lbs and generally wear an XXL in shirts - with my now fuller form (middle age spread/love handles) I hate a tight shirt, especially in the heat of summer with humidity, so perhaps I should go XXXL or even XXXXL?

    Another option would be to buy one short sleeved, one long, to provide summer/winter options.

    See size & fitting guide - Mens replica shirts
    Chest UK (Inches)
    S 36"-38"
    M 38"-40"
    L 40"-42"
    XL 42"-44"
    XXL 44"-46"
    XXXL 46"-48"
    XXXXL 48"-50"

    Shipping and Handling to Canada @ £ 5.00 is very reasonable - years ago I ordered some shirts and it was more like £15 or £20 - for 1 item or multiple.

    Recently I had to buy a new suit, and the best fit for me was 48" Tall in the jacket, even though I was still a 42" Tall in my head - could no longer squeeze into my "weddings & funerals" suit (pants or jacket).

    At Sears Canada you can pick out your suit jacket & pants off separate racks to actually fit you, which is great as the pants that generally come with my jacket size are always small - I'm a 42" waist, so don't need 32" pants.

    The shirt sizes are stupid, Im a L in the LCS shirts and they are really baggy and nice to wear. Im a XXXL in lotto and even then they are still tighter especially around the shoulders.

    The Lotto sizes simply do not match up. Id go for a XXXXL but Im not even sure they do one. I think a XXXL should be for the average newcastle fan, not someone who weighs 14 stone.

    At 250 lbs (14lb/stone) = 18 stone, am I now one of those fat ****s?

    I think I'll go with XXXXL in short & long sleeves to allow for summer/winter usage, growth & shrinkage, although long sleeves, that are too long, can be a bit annoying, which may be the case with XXXXL.

    £5.00 appears to be the international shipping rate, e.g. to Canada, NZ, Aussie etc. - I guess the Republic is not part of the "colonies"?

    My Order Details:-

    Subtotal £34.99
    Estimated Shipping and Handling £5.00
    Vat included (£0.83) - (comes up as £6.66 in the next screen?)
    Estimated total £39.99

    Go for the biggest one, not because youre a fat **** but because thats an XL in normal sizes.

    No we're not. Thank god. We left our past behind years ago. It has been a roller coaster ride ever since.

    BTW, the shipping costs to Ireland are only £5. I ordered mine yesterday.

    Yeah, they're always at least a size smaller than they actually say. But I think that's because it's supposed to wear tight on the players.

    Lotto are 3 sizes smaller than normal, thats how out of whack they are. Only rugby players and cyclists need tight gear.

    I went on yesterday and it was showing £15 postage and now it is telling me why phone number and state are incorrect but they are the ones already on their system!

    I guess I'm not meant to pre order these kits :)
