Alright like most of you I took advantage of the hoodie sale and nabbed one...

problem is I bought a medium hoodie when I wear a large in female shirts (I asked around and looked liek the M was the way to go) and it fits like a tent... I like loose.. but the sleeves are sooooo long and it's just too big.

Do these shrink at all? Maybe if I tumble dry on high and leave it in there for awhile?

Yeah, they shrink even if they don't go in the dryer. And even more if you machine dry them.

... I wear a L, I bought smalls at first in the hoodies, and they fit really beautifully when I first tried them on, but after washing - well, they're a little more fitted. That's fine, but sometimes you just want hoodies to be roomier.



... the sleeves, however, are on the long side no matter what. Works for me, though, since I'm tall.

Mine's is a little too long. I was wondering that myself.

I'm worried about the sleeves the most. They are like 3 inches too long and I feel like an idiot with em so long.

So if I wash it in cold and put them in the dryer, will they shrink enough? Or should I handwash it in warm/hot water and then put it in the dryer with some other stuff? Or put it in the dryer while dry? I wear a medium-large tee and bought a medium hoodie, and it's definitely a bit too big.

I wear medium shirts, I got a large hoody. The sleeves were alittle long, and it was a tad baggy. I washed and it shrunk to a perfect size. Do they shrink? Perfectly.

I prefer the sleeves to be too long than too short though. I also got a medium and I figure that if the sleeves are still too long after washing I will just fold them up.

i got a xs (fits really well) and a small which is loose. i'm going to have to make sure i air dry or hang dry the xs so it doesn't shrink . hopefully the small hoody shrinks a couple of inches. :)

Oh no! I ordered a Small hoodie because I wear Medium tees.. :/ It just barely fits right now before being washed. *sigh* It would probably be ok if it zipped but being a pull-over it's really hard to get into.

Ok well I'm changing my mind. Lol it does fit pretty perfectly right now before washing. Apparently I just got it caught up on the shirt I was wearing yesterday and it bunched up uncomfortably. But today over a tank top it fits great, although I do wish there was a tad more room in the neck.. I hate it when shirts come right up against my neck. Oh! And the length is really great as well. Much longer than it says on the sizing charts. Perfect for me since the girly shirts are usually too short.... I wonder if I should start buying guys sizes for length.. although I be they would be a baggy on me and I hate baggyness too. Hopefully it won't shrink much when I wash it.

Ya... it depends i guess in the end "how" you define perfect fit. Some people like tight and others loose... the Medium is quite a bit big on me but it's cool. Hopefully dryer action will shrink it down.
