Tips on How to Measure for Sweatshirts

Sweatshirts are a great way to stay warm and stylish, but it can be difficult to get the perfect fit when buying online.

Here are some tips to keep in mind to help get the perfect fit for a sweatshirt:

  • Consider the fabric. The fabric of the sweatshirt can also affect the fit. For example, a stretchy fabric will be more forgiving than a non-stretchy fabric. If you're not sure how the fabric will fit, err on the side of caution and order a size up.
  • Consider your personal style. How you like to wear your sweatshirts can also affect the fit. For example, if you like your sweatshirts to be loose-fitting, you may want to order a size up.
  • Check the reviews. Once you've chosen a few sweatshirts to order, take a look at the reviews. This can give you an idea of how other people have found the fit of the sweatshirts.
Unfortunately, due to slim margins, we can not afford to offer refunds or exchanges on POD items for buyers ordering the wrong size.

 Please note that our apparel sizes are based on European measurements, which run smaller than US measurements. This means that you may need to order a size larger than you normally wear in US clothing. For example, if you typically wear a size medium in US clothing, you may need to order a size large in our European-sized apparel.

To establish what fit works best for you, we suggest you use a garment you own as a reference. The fit is easier to grasp if you can refer to a garment you are already familiar with.

If you're not sure what size to order, here are some tips on how to measure for a sweatshirt:

  1. Find a tape measure. You can find a tape measure at most stores that sell sewing supplies.
  2. Stand up straight and relax. You don't want to pull the tape measure too tight or too loose.
  3. Measure your length. (A) Place the tape measure from the highest point of the shoulder to the very bottom of the sweatshirt.
  4. Measure the width. (B) Place the tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, just under your armpits. Or, measure your existing sweatshirt about 1inch below the arm pit from one side to the other.
  5. Measure the arm length. (C) Place the tape measure from the top seam of the sleeve to the bottom of the sleeve cuff.‍
  6. Compare your measurements to the size chart. Once you have your measurements, compare them to the size chart of the sweatshirt you're interested in buying. The size chart will typically list the measurements for the garment, such as the bust, waist, and hip measurements.
  7. Order a size up or down, as needed. If your measurements are between two sizes, it's usually best to order a size up. This will give you a little extra room to move around and layer.
  8. If you're not sure what size to order, we suggest you use a garment you own as a reference. The fit is easier to grasp if you can refer to a garment you are already familiar with.
