How to Choose the Right Size
Understanding the Fit
The Dude Perfect Premium Hoodie is designed for a classic, street-ready silhouette. It's not snug, but not overly baggy. The 80% cotton and 20% polyester blend gives it a structured feel that holds its shape wash after wash. If you prefer a looser look, consider going up a size. If you want a fitted look, stick with your usual.
Measuring Yourself
To find your size, grab a measuring tape and follow these steps:
- Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under your armpits, keeping the tape horizontal.
- Length: Measure from the top of your shoulder down to where you want the hem to hit.
- Sleeves: Measure from the center back of your neck to your wrist, with your arm slightly bent.
Compare your measurements to the size chart. Not sure? The Premium Hoodie has a relaxed fit, so if you're between sizes, we suggest going up for extra comfort.
Size Chart Recommendations
The official size chart (available on the product page) ranges from Small to 3XL. Here are some quick tips:
- Small (34-36" chest): Best for slim builds or youth sizes.
- Medium (38-40"): Fits average adults who prefer a standard cut.
- Large (42-44"): The most popular size for a relaxed but not baggy look.
- XL (46-48"): Great if you want extra room or are over 6' tall.
- 2XL (50-52") and 3XL (54-56"): Designed for taller or larger frames.
Common Fit Questions
#### Is it pre-shrunk?
The cotton-polyester blend minimizes shrinkage, but we recommend washing cold and tumble drying low to keep the fit consistent.
#### How does it compare to other Dude Perfect gear?
If you own a Dude Perfect Classic T-Shirt ($24.99), the hoodie runs similarly. For a more tailored look, the Dude Perfect Polo Shirt ($34.99) is slimmer. The Dude Perfect Tank Top ($19.99) is a different story - loose and breathable.
#### What if I'm between sizes?
Go up. The hoodie's structure looks better with a bit of room than being too tight.
