The making of

From colourway to first wear — the Western Illinois Leathernecks build

01
The colours
Start with the purple — Western Illinois Leathernecks through and through, applied so it stays sharp.
02
The fabric
Stretch through the Western Illinois Leathernecks shoulders only, so the body keeps its line instead of clinging.
03
The build
Contrast trim kept subtle on the Western Illinois Leathernecks collar and cuffs, so it reads as kit rather than a costume.
04
The fit
Runs close through the Western Illinois Leathernecks chest and easy through the waist, so it sits flat over jeans.
05
The wear
Worn in the cold, worn in the sun — the Western Illinois Leathernecks weight holds up either way.

Some shirts look like kit and feel like costume. This purple Western Illinois Leathernecks basketball jersey keeps the fit close enough to wear anywhere without that problem.

We've handled enough Western Illinois Leathernecks orders to know where people go wrong, and it's almost always sizing. Measure your chest rather than the label in your usual size — if you land between two, take the larger one. A slightly loose jersey looks better untucked and layers more easily.

Q01Is the Western Illinois Leathernecks jersey good for a basketball season that runs cold?▾
It is. Mid-weight knit with ventilated panelling means the Western Illinois Leathernecks jersey works in a cold stand as well as a warm one, and there's room underneath for a base layer without the shoulders pulling. That's why the same one gets worn from the opening fixture through to the last.
Q02Does the Western Illinois Leathernecks jersey keep its shape after a few washes?▾
It does, provided you keep the Western Illinois Leathernecks jersey out of the tumble dryer. The knit is mid-weight with a stable gauge, so it doesn't stretch out at the hem the way a looser knit can. Wash cold, dry it flat or on a line, and it comes back to the same shape every time.

Answers before you order

Your Western Illinois Leathernecks jersey questions

▾
Will this Western Illinois Leathernecks jersey shrink in the wash?▾
Not if you wash cold and air dry it. Heat is what moves the fibres, and it's the combination of a warm wash and a hot dryer that shrinks a jersey, rather than either one on its own. Keep it out of the tumble dryer and it stays the size you ordered.
What size Western Illinois Leathernecks jersey should I get?▾
Measure your chest first, because that's the number that decides it on a basketball jersey — the shoulders are cut with room for movement, so a t-shirt size isn't always the answer. If that puts you between two sizes, take the larger one. You'll wear it more that way and it layers better.
What if I order the wrong size?▾
Check the size guide first, and message us if you're between two sizes — we'd rather help you get it right the first time than process an exchange. If it still arrives wrong, contact us before doing anything else and we'll sort a swap for you.
Is the fabric stretchy?▾
It has give through the shoulders and armholes so you can move freely, without being a stretch fabric through the body. That's deliberate: stretch through the middle is what makes a jersey bag out at the hem over time. This one keeps its shape instead.
Can I get it in a larger size?▾
Extended sizing is listed in the selector on this page, so check there first for what's available in this colourway. If your size isn't showing, message us with what you need and we'll check what we can source, rather than have you settle for a fit that isn't right.
Can I iron it?▾
Yes, but on a low setting and never directly over printed or stitched detail. Turn it inside out and use a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric. Most creases fall out on the line anyway, so with this knit it's usually not needed at all.

It's the Western Illinois Leathernecks shirt you'll reach for without thinking.
