Complete Guide Overview
Getting the right size for your Matt & Tommy merch isn't just about comfort - it's about how you want to wear it. Whether you're going for that oversized, laid-back vibe or a more tailored, clean look, the Matt & Tommy Premium Hoodie ($49.99) is built for both. The 320gsm fleece with a brushed interior gives it a substantial feel that holds its shape, so your size choice matters even more.
This guide covers everything you need: how to measure yourself, what fit each size delivers, and which products in our collection run differently. We'll also compare our hoodie to other fan-merch options out there, so you can shop with confidence.
How to Choose the Right Size
Step 1: Take Your Measurements
Grab a soft measuring tape and a friend (or a mirror). Stand naturally, don't suck in. Here's what to measure:- Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under your armpits, keeping the tape horizontal.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waistline (just above your belly button).
- Hips: For longer hoodies, measure around the widest part of your hips.
- Sleeve length: From the center of your back (base of neck) across your shoulder to your wrist, with arm slightly bent.
Step 2: Understand Our Sizing Philosophy
The Matt & Tommy Premium Hoodie is designed with a classic fit - not too slim, not too baggy. It's meant to layer over a tee easily. The cotton-polyester blend (80% cotton, 20% polyester) gives a little stretch, but the fleece is dense, so it won't sag out after a few washes.Step 3: Compare to Your Favorite Fit
If you normally wear a size L in most streetwear hoodies, our size L will feel similar but slightly roomier in the chest to accommodate the heavyweight fleece. For a more fitted look, go down a size. If you want that slouchy, hands-in-pockets cozy feel, go up one size.Size Chart (inches)
| Size | Chest Width (1" below armhole) | Body Length (from HPS) | Sleeve Length (from center back) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 20" | 27" | 32.5" |
| M | 21.5" | 28" | 33.5" |
| L | 23" | 29" | 34.5" |
| XL | 24.5" | 30" | 35.5" |
| 2XL | 26" | 31" | 36.5" |
Step 4: Consider the Product
Not every item in our store fits the same. Here's a quick rundown:- Matt & Tommy Premium Hoodie - Classic fit, runs true to size. Heavyweight, so expect it to keep its shape.
- Matt & Tommy Classic T-Shirt ($24.99) - Slightly slimmer fit. If you're between sizes, go up for comfort.
- Matt & Tommy Polo Shirt ($34.99) - Tailored fit. Size up if you want a relaxed look.
- Matt & Tommy Tank Top ($19.99) - Runs small. Order one size larger than your usual hoodie size for a standard fit.
Step 5: Use Our Fit Tips
- Layering: If you plan to wear the Premium Hoodie over a thick hoodie or jacket, go up one size.
- Shrinking: Cotton can shrink 3-5% on first wash. But our 80/20 blend is pre-shrunk to minimize this. Still, cold wash and low heat are your friends.
- Torso length: Our hoodie length is standard. If you're over 6'2", consider the 2XL for extra length.

FAQ
What size should I order if I'm between two sizes?
If you're between sizes, it depends on your fit preference. For a fitted look, choose the smaller size. For a more relaxed, layered look, go with the larger size. Many fans choose to size up for that streetwear oversized feel.
How does the Matt & Tommy Premium Hoodie fit compared to other brands?
Compared to mass-market brands, our hoodie runs slightly larger in the chest and shoulders. It's designed to feel roomy without being sloppy. If you normally wear a size L in Champion or Gildan hoodies, our size L will be similar but with a higher quality feel.
Does the hoodie shrink? How should I wash it?
The 80/20 cotton-polyester fleece is pre-shrunk, but minimal shrinkage (under 3%) can occur if you dry on high heat. To maintain fit, wash cold on gentle cycle and tumble dry low. Avoid bleach and ironing over prints.
Can I return or exchange if the size doesn't fit?
Absolutely. We offer free exchanges within 30 days of delivery. Just reach out to our support team with your order number and the size you want instead. We'll send you a prepaid return label.
I'm buying a hoodie as a gift. Can you help with sizing?
Sure! If you know the gift recipient's height, weight, and typical shirt size, email us. Otherwise, a safe bet is to go with their usual hoodie size. Our classic fit is flattering on most body types. - -
