How to Choose the Right Size for Your Swifty Hoodie
Step 1: Take Your Measurements
Grab a soft measuring tape and a friend (or a mirror). You need three numbers:
- Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms. Keep the tape snug but not tight.
- Length: Measure from the highest point of your shoulder (where the seam would sit) down to where you want the hem to land. Most fans prefer the hem hitting at the hip.
- Sleeve: Measure from the center back of your neck, across your shoulder, and down to your wrist. Bend your arm slightly to allow movement.
Write those numbers down. They're your starting point.
Step 2: Decide Your Fit Preference
The Swifty Premium Hoodie is designed with a regular fit - not too slim, not too baggy. But many fans size up for an oversized, relaxed look. Ask yourself: Do I want a clean silhouette that layers under a jacket? Stick with regular. Want that cozy, slouchy vibe? Go up one size.
Step 3: Use the Size Chart
Here's a reference for the Premium Hoodie (measurements are approximate body measurements):
| Size | Chest (inches) | Length (inches) | Sleeve (inches) |
|---|
| S | 36-38 | 27 | 33 |
| M | 39-41 | 28 | 34 |
| L | 42-44 | 29 | 35 |
| XL | 45-47 | 30 | 36 |
| 2XL | 48-50 | 31 | 37 |
If your measurements fall between sizes, size up for a relaxed fit or down for a snug fit. The fleece has minimal stretch, so comfort matters.
Step 4: Account for Shrinkage
The 80% cotton content means the hoodie might shrink slightly in hot water or high heat drying. To be safe, wash in cold water and hang dry. If you're between sizes and worried about shrinkage, size up. The 320gsm fleece is dense and holds its shape well.
Other Swifty Favorites to Consider
The Swifty Classic T-Shirt ($24.99) has a standard athletic fit - lighter and slimmer than the hoodie. The Swifty Polo Shirt ($34.99) offers a more tailored look, while the Swifty Tank Top ($19.99) is designed for movement. Same sizing philosophy: measure, check the chart, and go with your preference.
