IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING
Lionhart sizing is unique and DOES NOT follow standard UK sizes. This is because we use small increments between sizes to maximise the fits available. All our shirts are 40mm longer than the average shirt, as we shoot with our arms raised!
To ensure the best fit, and avoid disappointment, it is ESSENTIAL that you measure a garment you are comfortable wearing and compare against the Lionhart sizing chart, for EACH garment you order. If in doubt, go one size larger. Mistakes made when ordering cannot be rectified, as our garments are bespoke.
SHOOTING SHIRTS
We advise archers to measure a shirt they feel comfortable shooting in across the chest / under the arms and compare that measurement to the size chart. Select a garment size that closely matches the measurement. If in doubt, go one size larger.
Shirts are UNISEX and supplied in three fitting styles, STRAIGHT (standard fit that is also suited to plus size or children), HALF-TIGHT (athletic body type) or TIGHT (more feminine with a defined waistline). The material is a light Coolmax 165g waffle texture sublimated polyester which is breathable and has a degree of lateral stretch for comfort. Shirts also have integrated V Mesh panels in the side, which extend into the arms to maximise ventilation.
GILETS
The gilets are made from a soft-shell material which has a high degree of lateral stretch, so can be worn tighter than the shirts, for shooting. For a tighter fit, go 10% smaller than your gilet measurements. Otherwise, compare your actual chest / waist measurement to the size chart and select a size that is one size up. Individuals will have different preferences, but we think these gilets should not be worn loose for shooting in.
HOODIES
Hoodies are not designed for shooting in, but offer an additional outer layer to help keep warm when collecting arrows etc. The hoodies are made from a thinner outer printed layer with a V Mesh lining with a zipped front. Kangaroo pockets are also available if preferred. Winter hoodies are also available with a heavy fleece lining for cooler conditions, however the cost of these is higher. They also have a much lower degree of lateral stretch, and by default have a zipped front. We recommend wearing these looser than the shirts, usually allowing around 5–10cm extra room compared to the shirts. For example: an XL shirt (chest measurement B = 57.5cm) would work well with XL–3XL sized hoodie (chest measurement B = 63–67cm).
