Los Angeles Lakers Kobe Bryant #24 Stitched Basketball Jersey

Kobe Bryant #24: A Los Angeles Lakers Stitched Basketball Jersey

This is our Kobe Bryant #24 Stitched Basketball Jersey, and the story behind it starts in 1947, when the franchise was founded in Minneapolis and won five titles there before moving to Los Angeles in 1960. The Lakers have since won twelve more championships, a line that runs from Wilt Chamberlain and Jerry West through Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant to LeBron James. Seventeen banners in total hang in the rafters. This jersey carries that identity in sewn detail rather than a printed graphic, with the nameplate, numerals and colour blocks following the club's classic look.

Stitched, Not Printed: Sewn Tackle Twill Lettering

The lettering and numerals on this Los Angeles Lakers jersey are applied as layered tackle twill and sewn down with satin stitching, which is the same construction used on on-field garments. You can feel the raised edge of every number, see the needle channels running through the stitching, and watch the twill catch light differently from the mesh beneath it. The body is a breathable polyester mesh that keeps air moving through four quarters, and the ribbed collar holds its shape instead of stretching out after a few washes.

• Number, nameplate and front marks sewn in layered tackle twill
• Breathable polyester mesh body with a true athletic cut
• Ribbed collar plus double-needle armhole and hem stitching
• Clean hem finish with a sewn jock tag at the inner seam
• Made in men's and women's sizes, S through 2XL

Los Angeles Lakers Jersey Sizing for Men and Women

Measure your chest at the fullest point first, then match that number against the chart below. If you land between two sizes, size up for a looser fit you can layer over a hoodie, or stay true to size for a trimmer, on-court look. Women's sizes run on a separate scale, so check that column rather than converting from the men's chart.

Care Instructions for a Stitched Jersey

Turn the jersey inside out and machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach, and do not tumble dry on high heat, because heat breaks down both the twill adhesive and the mesh. Hang or lay flat to dry, then press the stitched areas lightly on the reverse side only. Keep the lettering away from a hot iron face so the satin stitching keeps its sheen.
