How to Measure a Hoodie for the Perfect Fit

If You Have a Favorite Hoodie:

Use it as a guide to select the right size!

  1. Lay It Flat: Place your hoodie on a flat surface, smoothing out any wrinkles for accuracy.
  2. Measure the Width: Using a measuring tape, measure across the chest from one side to the other. This gives you the width.
  3. Measure the Length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder straight down to the hem for the length.
  4. Compare with Our Size Chart: Match these measurements to our size guide for the best fit.

If You’re New to Hoodies or Unsure of Your Size:
No worries! Here are a few helpful tips:

  1. Use Your Own Measurements: Measure your chest and torso length to approximate hoodie dimensions, and compare with our size chart.
  2. Consider Sizing Up: For a relaxed, comfy fit, going up a size is often a good option.

Buying as a Gift? Here’s How to Estimate Sizes:

  • If You Have Access to Their Favorite T-Shirt, Hoodie, or Sweatshirt: Measure it to determine their size.
  • If You Don’t Have Access to Their Clothing: Estimate based on their general build. For example, if they’re similar in build to someone you know, you could use that person’s size as a guide.
  • For Kids: Measure one of their favorite tops if possible, or size up for extra room to grow.

Quick Measurement Recap:

  • WIDTH: Measure across the chest from one side to the other.
  • LENGTH: Measure from the highest shoulder point down to the hem.

Size Tolerance:

Due to factors like fabric stretch, shrinkage, and variations in the manufacturing process, actual garment sizes may vary slightly from the measurements provided in our size chart.
