Clavicular Sizing Guide 2026: Hoodie and T-Shirt Fit Tips

Q: What size should I get if I normally wear a medium?

For Standard Hoodie: medium is true-to-size; large for oversized. For Classic Tee: medium is slim; large for more room. For Relaxed Tee: medium is relaxed; small for trimmer fit. Always check the specific chart.

Q: Is Clavicular merch unisex sizing?

Yes, all items are unisex cut. Women should generally size down one for a similar fit. The Relaxed Tee works well for women who want an oversized look without sizing up.

Q: How do I measure sleeve length for a hoodie?

Start at the center back of your neck, go over your shoulder and down your arm to your wrist. If you don't have a helper, measure from shoulder bone to wrist and add 2 inches. Compare to the sleeve length on the chart.

Q: Can I exchange a size if I order wrong?

Yes, the store offers free exchanges on unworn, unwashed items within 30 days. Initiate through your account for a prepaid label. Try on as soon as it arrives and avoid washing until you're sure.

Stop guessing on size. This 2026 guide breaks down Clavicular hoodie and t-shirt measurements, fit notes, and how to nail the oversized look without exchange hassles.

Most size charts tell you to just follow your chest measurement. That's a mistake. The Clavicular hoodie sizing is less about your chest and more about how you actually want to wear it - and that depends on two things: the garment's specific construction and your preferred aesthetic. After helping dozens of creators refine their merch lines, I've seen too many fans buy one size up only to end up with sleeves that swallow their hands. Let's fix that.

How to Measure Yourself for Clavicular Apparel

You can't rely on your t-shirt size from another brand. Clavicular's supplier uses their own block patterns, which means a medium from another artist may fit tighter or looser. Measure your body directly.

What You Need

A soft measuring tape (or a string and a ruler)
A bare torso (or thin undershirt)
A friend to help with back measurements

Step-by-Step (One Person or Two)

1. Chest - Wrap the tape under your armpits, across the fullest part of your chest, and around your back. Keep it snug but not tight. Exhale and read the number. Do this twice for consistency. 2. Waist - Measure around your natural waist (just above your belly button). This matters for t-shirt length and hoodie hem fit. 3. Sleeve Length - Start at the center back of your neck, run the tape over your shoulder joint and down your arm to your wrist. For hoodies, let the tape extend an extra half inch for mobility. 4. Torso Length - From the top of your shoulder (where a seam sits) down to where you want the hem to fall. For standard hoodies, aim for about one inch below the belt line.

Write down your numbers in inches or centimeters - Clavicular charts usually offer both. If you're between sizes on chest, consider your waist measurement. If your waist is larger than the chart's chest range for that size, go up one size.

Clavicular Hoodie Size Chart and Fit Notes

The Clavicular hoodie sizing chart uses typical Alpha sizes (S - 3XL), but the actual garment dimensions differ by style. Let's look at the two most popular hoodies.

Standard Hoodie (Midweight, Unisex)

S: Chest 36 - 38, Length 26, Sleeve 33.5
M: Chest 40 - 42, Length 27, Sleeve 34.5
L: Chest 44 - 46, Length 28, Sleeve 35.5
XL: Chest 48 - 50, Length 29, Sleeve 36.5
2XL: Chest 52 - 54, Length 30, Sleeve 37.5
3XL: Chest 56 - 58, Length 31, Sleeve 38.5

What to watch for: The sleeves run about half an inch longer than industry average. That's by design - to allow for layering without riding up. But if you have shorter arms (say under 30 inches), consider sticking with your true size or even sizing down if you want a neater fit.

Premium Pullover Hoodie (Heavyweight, Unisex)

S: Chest 38 - 40, Length 27.5, Sleeve 34
M: Chest 42 - 44, Length 28.5, Sleeve 35
L: Chest 46 - 48, Length 29.5, Sleeve 36
XL: Chest 50 - 52, Length 30.5, Sleeve 37
2XL: Chest 54 - 56, Length 31.5, Sleeve 38
3XL: Chest 58 - 60, Length 32.5, Sleeve 39

This hoodie is heavier and the fabric drapes differently. The chest runs slightly bigger than the standard model, so if you're between S and M, choose your size based on whether you'll layer it over a thick shirt. The length is also longer - great for tall builds. But if you're under 5'8", the premium may feel boxy on you. In that case, size down.

Both hoodies are garment-dyed, which means they can shrink up to 3% in a hot wash. Cold wash and hang dry to preserve the fit.

Clavicular T-Shirt Sizing: Relaxed vs. Slim Fit

Clavicular offers two t-shirt silhouettes, and choosing wrong is the #1 reason for exchanges.

Classic Logo Tee (Slim Fit)

S: Chest 34 - 36, Length 27
M: Chest 38 - 40, Length 28
L: Chest 42 - 44, Length 29
XL: Chest 46 - 48, Length 30
2XL: Chest 50 - 52, Length 31
3XL: Chest 54 - 56, Length 32

This tee is cut narrower through the torso and shoulders. If you typically wear a medium in athletic brands like Nike, stay with M. If you prefer a bit more room (e.g., you like tucking in your shirt), go up one size. The sleeves are set closer to the body, so not ideal for guys with broad shoulders relative to their chest.

Relaxed Fit Tee

S: Chest 38 - 40, Length 28
M: Chest 42 - 44, Length 29
L: Chest 46 - 48, Length 30
XL: Chest 50 - 52, Length 31
2XL: Chest 54 - 56, Length 32
3XL: Chest 58 - 60, Length 33

This is the fan favorite for a reason. It has a boxier cut with wider shoulders and a lower armhole. Perfect for that casual, slightly oversized vibe. If you normally wear a large in slim fit, go with the Relaxed Fit in medium for a comparable fit. I've found that women who want an oversized look often size down one from their usual dress size (e.g., a women's medium takes the Classic Tee in small, but can take Relaxed in XS for a not-too-baggy fit).

How to Get an Oversized Look with Your Clavicular Merch

Oversized doesn't mean sloppy. The goal is deliberate draping, not swimming in fabric. Here's a cheat sheet based on your height and build.

For Hoodies: Go Up One Size, Hem Optional

If you're 5'8" or shorter, go up one size from your standard fit. The length increase is about 1 inch, which keeps the hem above your hips. Sleeves will be longer - roll them once or twice for a deliberate cuff.
If you're 5'9" or taller, go up two sizes if you want the hem to hit mid-thigh. Otherwise, one size up is enough. The premium hoodie's extra length helps here.
Avoid: Going up three sizes unless you're over 6'2". The shoulder seams will drop too far, making the hoodie look like a cape.

For T-Shirts: Relaxed Fit Is Your Friend

Choose Relaxed Fit in your true size for a relaxed but not oversized look.
To go oversized, size up one in Relaxed Fit. The Classic Tee, even sized up, may not drape as well because of the narrower shoulders.
Pro tip: Pair an oversized Relaxed Fit Tee with slim joggers or cuffed jeans to balance the proportions.

What About Shrinkage?

Garment-dyed items (both hoodies and tees) will shrink about 2-3% in the first wash if you use warm/hot water. If you're aiming for that perfect oversized fit, account for it by choosing the size that's slightly too big before washing. Cold wash + hang dry = no shrinkage.

Common Sizing Questions Answered

Do Clavicular hoodies shrink?

Yes, the garment-dyed cotton-poly blend can shrink up to 3% in length and width if washed in warm or hot water. To minimize shrinkage, wash in cold water and tumble dry on low or hang dry. The premium hoodie (100% cotton) is more prone to shrinkage - up to 5% - so size up if you plan to machine dry.

What size should I get if I normally wear a medium?

It depends on the fit you want. For the Standard Hoodie: medium gives a true-to-size fit; large for an oversized look. For Classic Tee: medium is slim; consider large for more room. For Relaxed Tee: stick with medium for a relaxed fit, or small for a trimmer fit. Always compare your measurements to the specific chart.

Is Clavicular merch unisex sizing?

Yes, all hoodies and tees are cut to a unisex/androgynous fit. That means the shoulders and chest are built for an average male frame. Women often size down one for a similar fit. For example, women's medium → men's small in Classic Tee. The Relaxed Fit, due to its boxier cut, works well for women who want an oversized look without sizing up dramatically.

How do I measure sleeve length for a hoodie?

Sleeve length on the chart is measured from the center back neck to the end of the cuff. To match, start your tape at the center back of your neck, go over your shoulder, and down your arm to your wrist. If you don't have a helper, measure from your shoulder joint (bone) to wrist, then add about 2 inches. Compare to the chart's sleeve length column.

Can I exchange a size if I order wrong?

Absolutely. Clavicular merch store offers free exchanges on unworn, unwashed items within 30 days. Just initiate an exchange through your account and a prepaid label will be provided. For best results, try on your items as soon as they arrive and avoid washing until you're sure of the fit.

Key Takeaways

Measure your chest, waist, and sleeve length against the specific style's size chart - don't guess.
Standard Hoodie: true-to-size; premium hoodie runs slightly larger; size down if you're under 5'8".
Classic Tee is slim; Relaxed Fit Tee is boxier. Choose based on how you plan to layer.
For oversized looks, go up one size for hoodies (two if tall) and choose Relaxed Fit Tee in your true size or one up.
Cold wash and hang dry to preserve the fit and avoid shrinkage.

That's the real deal on Clavicular hoodie sizing and beyond. No guesswork, no shipping regrets. Grab your new favorite hoodie or tee with confidence, and make sure it fits the way you want from day one.
