How to Choose Your Size
Know Your Measurements
Grab a measuring tape (or a string and a ruler) and get three numbers: chest, waist, and length. Here’s the quick and dirty:
- Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level under your armpits.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waistline, usually just above your belly button.
- Length: Measure from the top of your shoulder (where the hoodie seam sits) down to where you want the hem to fall. For a standard fit, aim around hip length.
Alan Chikin Chow Hoodie Size Chart
Below is the official size chart for the Alan Chikin Chow Premium Hoodie. These measurements are in inches.
| Size | Chest (in) | Waist (in) | Length (in) |
|---|
| S | 36-38 | 30-32 | 27 |
| M | 40-42 | 34-36 | 28 |
| L | 44-46 | 38-40 | 29 |
| XL | 48-50 | 42-44 | 30 |
| XXL | 52-54 | 46-48 | 31 |
Pro tip: If you’re between sizes, size up for a relaxed streetwear vibe, or size down if you want a trimmer fit. The fabric has minimal shrinkage - thanks to the high-quality cotton-poly blend - so wash cold and tumble dry low.
Fit Style: Relaxed but Not Baggy
Alan’s hoodie is designed to be comfortable and street-ready. It’s not as oversized as a skate brand hoodie, but it’s not slim-fit either. Think: standard pullover with a little room to layer. The heavyweight fleece gives it structure, so it doesn’t just hang like a sack.
How It Compares to Other Brands
- Standard brand (e.g., Hanes, Gildan): Alan’s hoodie runs about half a size smaller. Order one size up if you're used to those.
- Premium streetwear (e.g., Nike, Adidas): Similar sizing. If you wear a Large in Nike hoodies, stick with Large here.
- Unisex sizing: The chart works for all genders. Just go by chest and length.
Common Sizing Mistakes
- Ignoring length: Some people focus only on chest and end up with a hoodie that’s too short. Always check the length measurement.
- Assuming shrinkage: Unlike cheap hoodies, the Premium Hoodie is pre-shrunk. No nasty surprises.
- Copying a friend’s size: Everyone’s built different. Measure yourself, not your buddy.
