Title: Cricket whites recommendations with a good fit
Post by: mo_town on May 17, 2021, 11:41:52 AM: Hello,
I am looking for some advice around cricket whites please. I am looking to buy some good fitting cricket whites. Most of the whites I see in the market (trousers especially) have a very generic loose fit. I have seen players wearing in leagues wearing good fitting whites. Does anyone have any recommendations of clothing which would fit someone with a slim build well?

Adidas have brought out some Howzat slim fit trousers too which are nice.

I use both of the above this season for saturdays and sundays.

Agree with the GN performance range suggestion......not for me as have to wear loose matrix range! Impressed with GN quality so far

I got samples from Macron when sorting out our club kit 2 years ago when they first started doing cricket kit. The trousers were so baggy it was like wearing curtains, and they were a different colour to the shirts!! Although the shirts fitted exceptionally.

However, their new stuff looks much better and definitely would consider if we changed again in a couple of years

+1 for the Adidas. I bought some for this season as I’d lost a lot of weight since last playing in 2019 and they fit nicely, legs are very tapered. Plenty long enough for me at 6’2”. Not as plush as their top of the range trousers, but nothing like as expensive either. Got mine here...

eBay might be a minefield but happy on this occasion.

Anyone got any experience with the Shrey “Elite” whites or the Aero whites?

Relatively thick thighed due to years of rugby and keeping so can’t have anything too slim fitting but don’t like wearing bed sheets either.

Cheers!
