How to Choose the Right Hoodie Size

Measuring a garment laid flat with a tape measure

Buying a hoodie online is easy once you know two measurements. The most reliable method is to measure a hoodie you already own and like, then compare it with the size table on the product page.

Step 1: Measure a hoodie you already own

  1. Lay the hoodie flat on a table and smooth it out.
  2. Width: measure straight across the chest from one armpit seam to the other.
  3. Length: measure from the highest point of the shoulder, next to the collar, down to the bottom hem.

Step 2: Compare with the size table

Every WearTheJob product page includes a size table with the width and length of each size. Choose the size whose measurements are closest to the hoodie you measured. Garment measurements can vary slightly from piece to piece, so treat the numbers as a close guide.

Step 3: Decide how you like it to fit

  • Regular fit: choose the size that matches your measurements. Our hoodies have a classic unisex fit.
  • Relaxed or oversized fit: go up one size.
  • Between two sizes: the larger size is usually the more comfortable choice for a hoodie, especially if you plan to layer it over other clothes.

Buying as a gift?

If you cannot measure one of their hoodies, check the size label on a hoodie or jacket they wear often, and size up if you are unsure. A slightly roomy hoodie still gets worn; a tight one usually does not.
