Hello everyone! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! It was an amazing time of the year, wasn’t it? Lots of festivities, plenty of food, and most importantly – family and friends. Now that the new year has sprung, it’s time to set some personal goals and kick-off the year in style.
One of the most common questions new hockey moms ask is… What size is a 48CCM hockey jersey?
The short answer is: It depends. But the better answer is: It really depends. What size you need will depend on you, your baby, the style of hockey you play, and the rules of the game. But most importantly, it depends on how you measure it. There are many ways to measure a girls’ hockey jersey, so let’s get into it.

How to Measure A Hockey Jersey
First of all, you need to decide how you want to measure your hockey jersey. Are you using the existing standard measurements or going by your own custom measurements? Your existing measurements can be found on the tag of your jersey, while the custom measurements generally come from one of the following sources:
- A tailor
- A dressmaker
- A measuring tape
- A yardstick
Now that we have that out of the way, let’s get into the good stuff – the actual measurements of the jerseys.
The Back
As we’ve established already, it depends on what size you need. If you’re using the existing standard measurements, then the back will be the same as the chest and the shoulder seam will be the same as the neckline. But if you’re using the tape measure or the yardstick, then the back will likely be larger than the chest and the shoulder seam will be higher. In either case, the back will be the last portion of the jersey to be seamed.
The Sleeves
The sleeves of your hockey jersey are going to depend on how long you want them to be. If you’re using the existing standard measurements, then they will be the same as the armholes and the neckline. But if you’re using a tape measure or a yardstick, then the sleeves will likely be shorter than the existing standard measurements.
The Front
The front of your hockey jersey is going to depend on how much space you have to work with. If you’re using the existing standard measurements, then the front will be the same as the back and the shoulder seam will be the same as the neckline. But if you’re using the tape measure or the yardstick, then the front will likely be larger than the back and the shoulder seam will be higher. In either case, the front will be the first portion of the jersey to be seamed.
The Collar
The collar of your hockey jersey is going to depend on how formal you want to make the outfit. If you’re using the existing standard measurements, then it will be the same as the neckline and armholes. But if you’re using a tape measure or a yardstick, then the collar will be higher. Ideally, you want your collar to be at the same height as the shoulder seam. But this can vary based on how you want your outfit to look. Just make sure that the height of the collar doesn’t interfere with your breathing.
The Rows Of Stitching
The rows of stitching on your hockey jersey are there to secure the pieces of the garment together. They’re going to depend on how thick you want the jersey to be. If you’re using the existing standard measurements, then there will be four rows of stitching, one on each side. But if you’re using a tape measure or a yardstick, then there will likely be five rows of stitching, one on each side. The more rows of stitching, the thicker the jersey will be. You don’t need as many rows as you think you do, so don’t put off sewing your jersey. Get ahead of the game and have at least four rows of stitching before you even start cutting.
The Cut
The cut of your hockey jersey is going to depend on how you want the outfit to fall. If you’re using the existing standard measurements, then there will be a tailored look to the outfit with the seams running vertically. But if you’re using a tape measure or a yardstick, then there will likely be a horizontal cut with the grain running from neck to waist. The tailored look is the one you will want to go for if you’re going for a more business-like appearance. If you want a casual or more organic look, then go with the horizontal cut. Just make sure that the fabric moves when you move. It should follow your body when you wear the outfit.
The Style
The style of your hockey jersey is going to depend on you. If you want a more business-like look, then go for a tailored style with the seams running vertically. If you want a more casual look, then go for a more relaxed style with the seams running horizontally. As we mentioned already, it depends on how you want the overall look of the outfit. But either way, the style of your jersey will be determined by the cuts of the bodywear and the skirt you’re going to wear with it.
The Size
Now that we’ve gone over the general measurements of your hockey jersey, it’s time to discuss the size. Your existing measurements can be found on the tag of your jersey, but you may want to take the time to memorize these measurements so you don’t have to keep looking them up. Once you have them written down, go over them again so you don’t make any mistakes while cutting. Remember: mistakes happen, even to professionals. So try to avoid making any unsightly stitches along the edge of the fabric. When you’re happy with the way the fabric falls, take a moment to inspect it from all angles. If you see any flaws, then you can go back and adjust the garment as much as needed. But once you’re happy with how it fits, take a picture and write down the size so you don’t have to worry about it evertying again.
