Awesome Fit Guide
A basic sizing chart not good enough for you? Do you need optimal aero fit in case you're being chased by a bear in the woods? If you've got fit OCD, then this page is for you. Read on.
Shrinkage
Look, it happens. Nothin' to be embarrassed about. Below is a example of shrinkage in our Men's Large shirt (Next Level 3600 ringspun cotton, 4.3oz). The blue blipshift lightweight fitted 4.3oz shirt was washed once in warm water and dried on medium heat. The orange shirt, also lightweigt fitted 4.3oz, is new, unwashed. Our heavy duty Hanes 5180 6oz shirt will shrink less resulting in a boxier cut and fuller sleeves. Your shrinkage may vary. For example, if your better half is a germaphobe and washes your shirt in boiling water then throws it in the oven to dry, the shirt will probably shrink more. If you hand wash only with ice cold mountain spring water and air dry with the breeze from a spinning hamster wheel, it'll probably shrink less.
Our Men's Long Sleeve shirt (Hanes Beefy-T 5186, ringspun cotton, 6 oz) has similar qualities as the Next Level 3600, but heavier weight cotton, which is good for blocking punches from angry racecar drivers. We don't recommend fighting though and why would ya want to get your nice tee dirty anyway?
Hoodies are Gildan 18500 (no-pill Air Jet yarn, 50/50 cotton/poly, 7.75oz). Air Jet yarn? That's right, woohoo! Expect less shrinkage with hoodies (50/50 cotton/poly blend).
Both the Women's Tees (Next Level 1510 4 oz, 60% combed ringspun cotton/40% polyester lightweight jersey) & Women's Tank Top Racerback (Next Level 1533 3.9oz, 60/40 ringspun cotton/poly blend) run small so we recommend ordering a size up. Expect minimal shrinking after wash and dry.
