ALDI vs LIDL clothing sizes?

[mrmacmusic]

My search wasn't fruitful, so I thought I'd ask a question that I'm sure has been answered before (sorry)...

How does the sizing and fit of ALDI's cycle clothing compare to LIDL's..?

I'm 5'10" and now 11st 12lbs, and Medium from LIDL's fits me fine (have jersey, shorts and bib longs). I want to get ALDI's jacket (and maybe a spare jersey too) tomorrow, but given that I'm working and there's not a store close by, I'm sending a substitute shopper with instructions to fight off the lycra-clad masses tomorrow morning

Coshing? Good grief... that should of course read "clothing" and I can't change it... Mods: help?!

Disappointed, there was me thinking Aldi and Lidl were supplying train robbers as well now...

Both will refund/swap if need be.
Personally, I have never had problems with sizing.

Their sizing seems fairly normal at the XL end of the scale, Ive bought quite a few things from them mostly running stuff though. They say not to open stuff in the shop to try on, but you can try it on once youve bought it then ask to straight swap it if needed.

Thanks for fixing the thread title scoosh , and thanks for the replies

I won't make it to the shop myself tomorrow hence the reason for asking if anyone has both LIDL and ALDI kit in their cycling wardrobe and can confirm if ALDI Medium = LIDL Medium?

I can't remember which is which, but my large size crivit jersey is a more snug fit compared to size L crane jersey, but both are fine. I don't know how consistent their sizing is though.
