It's exactly what you imagine it is. A thin(ish) practice quality hockey jersey with vinyl lettering on it. I would be very careful washing it as I could not imagine it would hold up well in a machine. But out of the box it doesn't disappoint. Sizing is spot on and fits like an actual jersey. I'm 6'2 210lbs and a large was perfect for me. Might be a little tight over pads if you actually wore it to play. I might size up one if so. But for everyday wear, a large let me put a sweater under it no problem. Plus now I look cooler than I actually am. Perfect to wear while eating chicken chips and pepperoni...Or dirty dancing with a dog, drunk on swish while eating a stale pizza crust. No worries.
