How do I choose the right size women’s jersey?

We get it, shopping for the right size online can feel a little tricky sometimes. But we’re here to make it as simple (and stress-free) as possible. At Ackermans, our women's jerseys come in sizes XS to XXL, so there's something for everyone. To help you find your perfect fit, start by checking out our Size Guide - it’s right on the product page and gives you exact measurements for each size. If you're unsure, a quick measure around your bust, waist and hips with a soft tape measure can go a long way. You can then match your measurements to our size chart to get a pretty accurate idea of which jersey will fit best.

Is there a difference between men's and women's jersey fit?

Yes, there is - and it’s all in the details. At Ackermans, our men’s and women’s jerseys are designed with different body shapes in mind to make sure the fit feels just right. Women’s jerseys often have a slightly shaped cut - think a little more definition around the waist and a softer fit around the bust and hips. They’re made to flatter and feel comfortable at the same time. Men’s jerseys, on the other hand, usually have a straighter, broader fit through the shoulders and torso, giving a more relaxed and boxy shape.

What materials are women’s jerseys made of?

You’ll find a variety of soft, easy-care fabrics in our range, including: Cotton blends – breathable, lightweight and gentle on skin (great for all-day wear). Acrylic knits – cosy and warm without the heaviness, plus they hold their shape beautifully wash after wash. Polyester blends – durable and wrinkle-resistant, perfect for low-maintenance days. Viscose or rayon – smooth and silky to the touch, these give a softer drape and a slightly dressier feel. We choose each fabric to suit the style of the jersey, so whether it’s a chunky knit, a fine lightweight pullover or something in between, it feels as good as it looks.

Is stretch fabric available in women’s jerseys?

Yes, you’ll definitely find stretch in many of our women’s jerseys! We know life doesn’t stand still, and your jersey shouldn’t either. That’s why a lot of our styles include a touch of elastane or spandex, blended into the fabric for just the right amount of give. It adds comfort, helps the jersey move with you, and keeps it looking fresh and in shape wear after wear.

Do designs include printed graphics or embroidery?

Yes, our women’s jerseys come in a variety of stylish designs to suit every mood and occasion. You’ll find everything from classic striped patterns to playful printed graphics that add a pop of personality. If you love a bit of extra detail, some of our jerseys feature subtle embellishments like embroidery or buttons, giving your look that little something special without going over the top. Whether you’re after a timeless striped knit, a fun printed design, or a buttoned-up style with delicate touches, Ackermans has a jersey to match your vibe.

Can jerseys be worn year-round?

Absolutely! Jerseys are one of those wardrobe heroes you can rely on all year long. In cooler months, they’re perfect for layering - cosy under jackets or paired with scarves and boots to keep you snug. When the weather warms up, lighter knits and breathable fabrics work beautifully on their own, giving you just the right amount of comfort without overheating. At Ackermans, we stock a variety of weights and styles, from chunky knits for chilly days to fine, airy jerseys for mild weather, so you can easily find a style that suits the season and your personal comfort.

Are long sleeve jerseys available?

Yes, definitely! At Ackermans, we offer a great range of women’s knitwear, including long sleeve jerseys that are perfect for layering or wearing on their own. But that’s not all, you’ll also find short sleeve and sleeveless options if you’re looking for something lighter. Plus, our collection includes cozy polonecks, classic turtlenecks, versatile cardigans, and timeless cable knits to keep you stylish and comfortable no matter the season. Whether you want something snug for chilly days or lighter pieces for layering, there’s a jersey style here to suit your needs.

Can I return or exchange a jersey?

Absolutely! We want you to love your Ackermans jersey, but if it’s not quite right, returning or exchanging it is easy. Just make sure to do so within 30 days of purchase and keep the tags and receipt intact. Whether you need a different size, style, or just want to send it back, we’re here to help make the process smooth and hassle-free.
