Quick Answer
The Bigger Love 'No Place But Up' Hoodie runs true to size with a relaxed, unisex fit. Use your chest measurement and the size chart to choose, and expect a comfortable, not oversized, silhouette.
Design Details That Affect Fit
The 'No Place But Up' hoodie features a classic pullover design with a kangaroo pocket and ribbed cuffs and hem. The 100% cotton fabric (sourced sustainably) has minimal stretch, so the fit you choose at purchase is the fit you'll get. The graphic print is centered on the chest and does not distort the fabric's drape.
Because this is a web-exclusive item, you cannot try it on in-store. Rely on the size chart and your own measurements rather than guessing based on your usual t-shirt size.
Sustainability and Fabric Feel
The hoodie is made from ECOCYCLE® yarn, a blend of 50% recycled fibers and 50% Better Cotton Initiative cotton. This closed-loop production process reduces waste, but the resulting fabric is slightly denser and less stretchy than conventional cotton blends. If you prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up.
The fabric softens with washing but does not shrink significantly if you follow care instructions (cold wash, tumble dry low). Pre-shrinking is minimal, so your initial size choice remains accurate.
How to Find Your Perfect Fit in 4 Steps
- Measure Your Chest: Wrap a measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it level under your armpits. Round up to the nearest inch. This is your chest measurement. Do not measure over a bulky sweater; use a thin shirt or bare skin for accuracy.
- Compare to the Size Chart: Match your chest measurement to the size chart on the product page. The hoodie is designed for a relaxed fit, so if your measurement falls between sizes, choose the larger size for a roomier feel or the smaller for a closer fit. Ignore your usual t-shirt size—always use the chart for this specific hoodie.
- Consider Your Layering Needs: If you plan to wear the hoodie over a long-sleeve shirt or light jacket, size up. The dense cotton fabric does not stretch much, so a size up ensures comfort without restricting movement. For a standalone look, your true size works perfectly.
- Check the Sleeve and Body Length: The hoodie has standard ribbed cuffs and hem. Sleeve length should end at your wrist bone; body length should cover your waistband. If you have long arms or a long torso, consider sizing up for adequate length. The ribbed hem helps the hoodie stay in place, but it won't add extra length.
