Ever ordered a hoodie online only to find it fits nothing like you expected? You're not alone. Sizing inconsistencies frustrate fans across brands, but this Succession hoodie sizing guide solves exactly that. By the end, you'll know your perfect size for any Succession hoodie in our collection and avoid the hassle of wrong fits.
Why Accurate Sizing Matters for Your Succession Merch
Your Succession hoodie isn't just clothing - it's a statement. A baggy hoodie can look sloppy, while one too tight feels restrictive. The key? Understanding that our hoodies come on different blank brands (like Gildan 18000 for classic unisex or Bella+Canvas 1801 for a more modern fit). Each blank has unique sizing quirks.
For example, Gildan 18000 hoodies are known for a roomy, consistent fit, but they can shrink up to 3% after the first hot wash. Bella+Canvas styles run slightly smaller and have a softer, pre-shrunk fabric that holds shape better. Knowing these details helps you pick the right size from the start.
The Cost of a Wrong Fit
Return shipping, restocking fees, and waiting for exchange - even if we don't mention policies, the inconvenience is real. Accurate sizing saves you time and money. In my experience as a merch designer, I've seen customers order two sizes up expecting a vintage look, only to drown in fabric. Let's get it right the first time.

How to Measure Yourself for the Best Fit
Follow these steps with a flexible tape measure. Don't use a rigid ruler - it won't curve around your body.
Step 1: Chest
Wrap the tape under your armpits, around the fullest part of your chest and back. Keep it parallel to the floor, not too tight. Round up to the nearest inch.Step 2: Length
Measure from the highest point of your shoulder (where the collar seam sits) down to where you want the hem. For hoodies, that's usually at or just below the waistband of your pants.Step 3: Sleeve
Bend your arm slightly. Measure from the center back of your neck, across your shoulder, down to your wrist bone. A common mistake is measuring with a straight arm - you lose an inch.Step 4: Compare to the Chart
Take your chest measurement and match it to the size range. If your chest is 44 inches, size M (42-44) should fit well. For a looser look, go to L.Unisex vs Fitted Sizing: Which Should You Choose?
Our collection includes both unisex and fitted (women's) cuts. Unisex hoodies are designed for a straight, relaxed silhouette - ideal if you like roomy comfort or plan to layer. Fitted hoodies contour more to the body, with narrower shoulders and a tapered waist.
Real example: The Succession "Logan's Legacy" hoodie comes in both unisex and fitted versions. A fan who typically wears size M in unisex might need a L in fitted for the same ease. Check the product description for each style.
Which to Pick?
- Unisex: If you prefer a classic hoodie feel, want to share with a partner, or love oversized looks.
- Fitted: If you want a more tailored shape, wear hoodies tucked in, or have a narrower frame.
Tips for International Buyers on Sizing
US sizes differ from UK, EU, and Asian sizing. A US medium often equals a UK large and an EU 48-50. Asian sizes tend to run one to two sizes smaller. Always measure yourself - don't rely on your usual letter size.
For US customers, standard shipping takes 5-10 business days. International availability varies - check your country at checkout. To avoid complications, order one size up if you're between regions. Many international buyers find our unisex hoodies fit true to US sizing, but a size up gives extra room for layering.
Pro advice: If you're ordering from Australia or Japan, get your chest and length measurements and compare directly to the size chart. Ignore the letter label - numbers don't lie.
