How to Choose
Taking Your Measurements
Before you compare size charts, grab a soft measuring tape and a mirror. You’ll need two key numbers:
- Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level and snug but not tight.
- Length: For tops, measure from the highest point of your shoulder down to where you want the hem to fall. For reference, our Classic T-Shirt has a length of 28 inches in size medium.
| 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 |
Note: These measurements are for the Classic T-Shirt. Other styles may vary slightly.
Fit Preference Guide
Relaxed / True to size - Go with your usual size. The Classic T-Shirt and Premium Hoodie are cut with a bit of room through the body. If you like a standard, comfortable fit, stick to what you normally wear.
Slim / Fitted - Size down one from your usual. Works best if you prefer a cleaner silhouette. The Philosophize This! Polo Shirt has a slightly trimmer cut already, so you may not need to size down.
Oversized / Loose - Size up one or two. Great for a loungy vibe, especially with the Philosophize This! Tank Top or the Premium Hoodie.
Product-Specific Fit Notes
Philosophize This! Classic T-Shirt - $24.99 - 100% ring-spun cotton, pre-shrunk, relaxed unisex fit. Slightly longer length than standard tees. Durable double-needle stitching. Ideal for everyday wear.
Philosophize This! Premium Hoodie - $49.99 - Heavyweight fleece, relaxed fit, roomy hood. If you’re between sizes, consider sizing down for a neater look or staying true to size for maximum coziness.
Philosophize This! Polo Shirt - $34.99 - Cotton-pique blend, slightly tailored fit. True to size. Great for a smart-casual look.
Philosophize This! Tank Top - $19.99 - Relaxed fit, armholes cut for mobility. If you want a tighter fit, size down.
Sizing for Different Body Types
- Slender build: Stick with your usual size for a relaxed fit, or size down if you prefer less fabric.
- Athletic build: Your chest and shoulders may require a size up for comfortable movement, even if your waist is smaller. Consider the Premium Hoodie’s roomy cut.
- Plus sizes: Our sizing goes up to 2XL. The Classic T-Shirt and Premium Hoodie run generous; the Polo Shirt is truer to size. Check the chest measurement against your own.
Pro Tips
- Pre-shrunk cotton means minimal shrinkage, but always wash in cold water and tumble dry low to preserve fit.
- If you’re between sizes, think about layering. For a tee worn alone, size down. For a hoodie over a sweatshirt, size up.
- The tank top’s relaxed fit can be cinched with a knot if you want a cropped look.
