How to Measure Yourself for the Perfect Fit
Before you grab that fire hoodie or tee, let's make sure it fits like a champion. Grab a soft measuring tape (or a string and a ruler) and a friend if possible. For chest, wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it level under your armpits. For length, measure from the highest point of your shoulder (where a seam would sit) down to where you want the hem to land. For sleeves, start at the center of your back, go across your shoulder, and down to your wrist bone. Write those numbers down - you'll match them to the charts below. That's step one in your own Penny Challenge to find the perfect fit.
Penny Challenge Hoodie Sizing Chart
Ryan's signature hoodie is designed for comfort during long walks across America or just chillin' at home. The fit is true to size but slightly relaxed, so you have room to layer. Here's your cheat sheet:
| Size | Chest (inches) | Length (inches) | Sleeve (inches) | | --- | - - - - - - - - | --- | - - - - - - - - -| | XS | 34-36 | 27 | 32.5 | | S | 36-38 | 28 | 33.5 | | M | 38-40 | 29 | 34.5 | | L | 40-42 | 30 | 35.5 | | XL | 42-44 | 31 | 36.5 | | 2XL | 44-46 | 32 | 37.5 |
If you're between sizes, go with the larger one - you want room for a backpack strap and a few granola bars. That's how you Survive on a Penny in style.
T-Shirt Fit Guide: Relaxed vs. Slim
Ryan's tees come in two vibes: relaxed and slim. The relaxed cut is the go-to for everyday wear - a straight cut that doesn't hug too tight. The slim fit is sleeker, perfect for layering under that hoodie or showing off gains from all that walking. Check the size chart below:
| Size | Chest (inches) | Length (inches) | | --- | - - - - - - - - | --- | | XS | 34-36 | 27 | | S | 36-38 | 28 | | M | 38-40 | 29 | | L | 40-42 | 30 | | XL | 42-44 | 31 | | 2XL | 44-46 | 32 |
For relaxed, use the same measurements. For slim, subtract 1-2 inches from the chest if you want it snug. And remember - Next Stop World might be a plane ride away, so pack layers.
Hat and Accessory Sizing Tips
Hats are one-size-fits-most with an adjustable snapback closure. The crown depth is about 4.5 inches, and the brim is 2.75 inches curved. If you've got a bigger dome (23+ inches around), you're still covered - just snap to the last notch. For beanies, they're stretchy and fit most head sizes. Accessories like socks and lanyards are true to standard sizing. No tape measure needed there.
Common Sizing Questions Answered
Q: How does the hoodie fit compared to the t-shirt? A: The hoodie is cut slightly larger to allow for layering. If you wear a medium in the relaxed tee, go medium in the hoodie too - you'll have that nice, cozy oversized look.
Q: Should I size up for a looser fit? A: Absolutely. If you want that baggy streetwear vibe, go one size up. Ryan often wears his merch with a relaxed attitude - so feel free to do the same.
Q: Are sizes unisex? A: Yes, these are unisex sizing based on men's measurements. Ladies, if you're between sizes or want a fitted look, consider sizing down. But don't stress - the relaxed cut works for everyone.
Q: What if my measurements fall between two sizes? A: Go with the larger size. You can always cinch it with a hoodie string or tuck in a tee. The extra room is a good thing - comfort is key when you're on a Penny Challenge.
Q: How do I care for my merch to avoid shrinking? A: Wash in cold water and tumble dry low. Avoid the hot dryer if you can - hang dry to keep that perfect fit. Your merch will last through many adventures.
