How to Choose
Step 1: Take Your Measurements
Grab a soft measuring tape and a friend (or a mirror). Measure these two areas:
- Chest: Wrap the tape under your armpits, around the fullest part of your chest and shoulder blades. Keep it snug but not tight.
- Length: From the highest point of your shoulder (where the hood seam would sit) down to where you want the hem to fall. For most people, that's around the hip bone.
Write those numbers down in inches. If you're between sizes, here's the rule: the Mixtape Premium Hoodie is cut with a modern regular fit - not too baggy, not too slim. If you want a relaxed look, size up. If you prefer a closer fit, go with your chest measurement.
Step 2: Check the Mixtape Hoodie Size Chart
| Size | Chest (inches) | Length (inches) |
| S | 34-36 | 27 |
| M | 38-40 | 28 |
| L | 42-44 | 29 |
| XL | 46-48 | 30 |
| 2XL | 50-52 | 31 |
These measurements are for the hoodie laid flat. The chest measurement is the full circumference (double the half-chest). The length is from shoulder seam to bottom hem.
Step 3: Compare with Other Mixtape Fan-Merch
The Mixtape Classic T-Shirt ($24.99) has a slightly more relaxed cut - same chest sizing, but the t-shirt is about an inch longer. If you wear a Medium in the tee, the Medium hoodie will feel roomier in the body because of the fleece thickness. The Mixtape Polo Shirt ($34.99) fits more tailored. If you wear a Large in the polo, you might want a Large in the hoodie for similar shoulder width, but expect the hoodie to have more room in the chest.
For the Mixtape Tank Top ($19.99), it runs true to size but with a narrower armhole. Again, stick with your hoodie size if you want a consistent fit across the collection.
Step 4: Account for Shrinkage
The 80/20 cotton-poly blend means minimal shrinkage - typically less than 3% in length. Wash cold and tumble dry low to preserve the fit. If you're between sizes, size up if you think you'll machine dry it often.
Step 5: Think About Layering
This hoodie is already 320gsm - heavy enough for fall and winter on its own. If you plan to wear a thick shirt underneath, go one size up. For just a tee, your usual size works.
