Sizing Guide: How to Find Your Perfect Fit
Finding your size in the Rayasianboy hoodie can be tricky because the sizing leans Asian - meaning shoulders and chest are cut slightly narrower than typical US hoodies. I've broken it down into five steps.
Step 1: Measure Your Chest
Wrap a measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it level under your arms. For example, if you measure 40 inches, your base size is Medium.
Step 2: Check the Size Chart
Rayasianboy provides a chart that maps chest measurements to sizes. For a 40-inch chest, the chart recommends M. But here's the catch: the chart uses body measurements, not garment measurements. That's important because the actual hoodie will have 2-4 inches of ease.
Step 3: Account for Shrinkage
The hoodie is pre-shrunk cotton-polyester blend (80/20), but it can still shrink up to 3% in the first wash. If you're between sizes, go with the larger one. I sized up from M to L and after multiple cycles, it fits perfectly.
Step 4: Consider Your Wash Routine
If you machine dry on high heat, you'll get more shrinkage. I air dry mine and have seen negligible change. For best results, wash cold and tumble dry low.
Step 5: Read Reviews for Your Body Type
Check the store's review section for people with similar height/weight. Many customers mention their stats and which size they chose. Use those as reference.
Pro tip: If you're between sizes, size up. A slightly roomy hoodie can be layered; a too-tight one is uncomfortable.
