Boston Red Sox David Ortiz #34 Sewn Lettering Baseball Jersey

David Ortiz #34: A Boston Red Sox Stitched Baseball Jersey

This is our David Ortiz #34 Sewn Lettering Baseball Jersey, and the story behind it starts in 1901, when Boston was one of the eight charter franchises of the brand-new American League. The club played as the Boston Americans before taking the Red Sox name in 1908, and it has won nine World Series titles - 1903, 1912, 1915, 1916, 1918, 2004, 2007, 2013 and 2018. Home games are played at Fenway Park, which opened in 1912 and is the oldest ballpark still in use in the major leagues, with its 37-foot left-field wall framing every game. Between 1918 and 2004 the club went 86 seasons without a championship, which is why the titles won since then are still celebrated so loudly across New England. 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 Boston Red Sox 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 a July doubleheader, 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 sleeve and hem stitching
• Button-front placket with a sewn jock tag at the inner hem
• Made in men's and women's sizes, M through 3XL

Boston Red Sox 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-field 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.
