Game day, and the rest of the week

The kid in the house will probably outgrow a T-shirt before the season ends, which is the argument for the James Madison Dukes jersey rather than a shirt. It gets worn through the last months of one season and the start of the next, on game day and on every ordinary Tuesday in between. It also gets handed down.

How it is made

James Madison Dukes jerseys like this one are assembled with the graphics stitched through the fabric, which changes how the garment feels in the hand. It sits slightly heavier than a pressed top and noticeably more substantial. That weight is what keeps it looking right after a long season.

Washing and everyday wear

Turn it inside out, wash it cold with the rest of the laundry, and hang it to dry — nothing special needed. Keep the iron away from the stitched numbers, and fold it like any other shirt between games. The James Madison Dukes jersey asks for no looking after beyond that.

Questions buyers ask

• Is this James Madison Dukes jersey stitched or screen printed?

  This James Madison Dukes jersey carries stitched graphics: the name and number are cut from twill and sewn on over the Black mesh body. The stitching sits slightly proud of the fabric, which is what keeps the edges from lifting in the wash.

• Will washing fade the Black on this James Madison Dukes jersey?

  Wash the James Madison Dukes jersey cold, inside out, and hang it to dry, and the Black holds its depth through a season of weekly laundry. Skip the iron over the stitched numbers and the high-heat dryer, and no other special care is needed.

• What size James Madison Dukes jersey should I order?

  For this James Madison Dukes jersey, order the usual youth size: close at the shoulder, straight through the body, with length to wear it tucked or out. Anyone between sizes who plans to layer a hoodie underneath in winter usually goes up one.

• Is Matthew Sluka the name on the back of this James Madison Dukes jersey?

  It is: Matthew Sluka and No. 9 are stitched across the back of this James Madison Dukes jersey in the Black colorway, matching the roster look. A plain-back version of the same James Madison Dukes jersey is stocked alongside it if you would rather skip the name.
