Complete Guide Overview
Finding the right fit for a hoodie can be tricky, especially when you're ordering online. The Yard Premium Hoodie ($49.99) is a heavyweight pullover built with 320gsm fleece and a brushed interior, so it's designed for both comfort and durability. But the perfect size depends on your body measurements and how you like your hoodies to fit. This guide walks you through everything you need to know to pick the right size for your The Yard hoodie.
How to Choose
Measure Yourself First
Before you look at any size chart, grab a soft measuring tape and take these three measurements:
- Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor and snug but not tight.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waistline, usually just above your belly button.
- Sleeve Length: Start from the center of your back (at the base of your neck), measure across your shoulder and down to your wrist.
Write these numbers down in inches. Then compare them to the size chart on the product page. If you're between sizes, go with the larger size for a relaxed fit or the smaller for a trimmer look.
Understand The Yard Premium Hoodie's Fit
The Yard Premium Hoodie is a unisex cut with a standard fit. It's not overly baggy or overly slim. The 320gsm fleece gives it structure, so it holds its shape. Here's a general guide:
- XS: 34-36" chest, 27-28" length
- S: 36-38" chest, 28-29" length
- M: 38-41" chest, 29-30" length
- L: 42-44" chest, 30-31" length
- XL: 46-48" chest, 31-32" length
- 2XL: 50-52" chest, 32-33" length
- 3XL: 54-56" chest, 33-34" length
(These are approximate; always refer to the official size chart when ordering.)
Consider Your Fit Preference
- I Want a Snug, Athletic Fit: Choose the size that matches your chest measurement exactly. The 80% cotton / 20% polyester blend has minimal stretch, so this will give you a closer fit.
- I Want a Comfortable, Everyday Fit: Go one size up from your chest measurement. This gives you room to layer a t-shirt underneath.
- I Want a Baggy, Oversized Look: Go two sizes up. The heavy fleece will drape nicely without looking sloppy.
Shrink Factor
The hoodie is pre-shrunk, but cotton can still shrink a bit in the wash. To minimize shrinkage, wash in cold water and tumble dry on low. If you're between sizes, size up to account for any potential shrinkage.
Check the Product Details
The Yard Premium Hoodie has a brushed interior for softness and a heavyweight feel. It features The Yard logo and fan-inspired graphics on the front and sleeves. The fabric is 80% cotton / 20% polyester, so it's breathable but substantial. If you run hot, consider a cotton-heavy blend like this one; if you run cold, the 320gsm weight will keep you warm.
