Because women's sizing is already enough of a shitshow.
Size Guide
No advanced mathematics, three mirrors or identity crisis required.
Finding the right fit shouldn't feel like a guessing game.
HMHC apparel is printed on a variety of garment styles and blanks, which means fit can vary from product to product. The size chart on the individual product page should always be your first stop.
But if you're staring at that chart wondering what the hell you're supposed to do with it, we've got you.
Measure
Grab something you already love.
Find a hoodie, sweatshirt or tee you already own that fits exactly how you like it. Lay it flat on a table or other flat surface.
Width
Measure straight across the garment from armpit to armpit.
Length
Measure from the highest point of the shoulder down to the bottom hem.
Measuring a garment you already love is usually much more useful than choosing a size simply because you've “always been a medium.”
Compare
Now find the product's size chart.
Compare the measurements you just took with the size chart on the HMHC product you're considering.
Look for the size with measurements closest to the garment you already know feels good on your body.
Important little detail
Different products can use different garment blanks. A Medium in one style may not have exactly the same measurements as a Medium in another.
That's why the measurements matter more than the letter on the tag.
Choose Your Fit
Decide how you actually want it to feel.
There's no universally correct fit. There is only the fit you actually want to wear.
Standard
Keep it classic.
Start with the measurements closest to a garment you already own and love.
Roomier
Give me some space.
Compare the next size up and decide whether those measurements give you the extra room you're looking for.
Oversized
Emotional-support hoodie.
You may want to go larger still depending on the garment. Check the measurements rather than assuming “unisex” automatically means oversized.
What about cropped styles?
Cropped garments can vary in length and proportion depending on the specific style.
Pay particular attention to the length measurement and compare it with something you already own. Your height, torso length and preferred rise of pants can all affect where a cropped garment actually lands on your body.
Between sizes?
Don't automatically size up or down.
Ask yourself which measurement matters most to you and what kind of fit you're trying to achieve. Then compare both sizes against a garment you already know fits well.
Remember This
Bodies fluctuate.
Bloating happens. Water retention happens. Hormones happen. Sometimes the exact same jeans fit at 8 a.m. and become an act of aggression by dinner.
The number on the tag is information. It is not a performance review.
Choose the size that feels good on your body. That's the entire assignment.
