How to Choose the Right Size
Start With Your Measurements
Grab a measuring tape and a hoodie that fits you well. Lay it flat and measure:
- Chest: Measure 1 inch below the armpit, across the fullest part.
- Length: From the highest point of the shoulder to the bottom hem.
- Sleeve: From the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
Compare your numbers with the official size chart on GTA's hoodie collection page. Most GTA hoodies follow standard US sizing, but the GTA Premium Hoodie runs slightly roomy through the body to accommodate layers.
Decide Your Fit Preference
- True to size: If you want a standard, not-too-tight, not-too-loose fit, order your usual size. The GTA Premium Hoodie’s 320gsm fleece gives it structure without being stiff.
- Oversized/Relaxed: Size up one or two sizes. This works especially well if you plan to wear a hoodie over a GTA Classic T-Shirt or as a statement layer.
- Slim fit: The Premium Hoodie isn't cut slim, but you can size down if you prefer a closer fit. Just keep in mind the cotton-poly blend shrinks slightly after the first wash.
Compare With Other Fan-Merch
GTA's lineup extends beyond hoodies. If you're torn between the Classic T-Shirt ($24.99, 100% cotton) or the Polo Shirt ($34.99, pique knit), sizing varies:
| Product | Fit Style | Sizing Advice |
| GTA Premium Hoodie | Regular/relaxed | Order true size; size up for oversized |
| GTA Classic T-Shirt | Standard | True to size, pre-shrunk cotton |
| GTA Polo Shirt | Trim | Consider sizing up if between sizes |
| GTA Tank Top | Fitted | Order true size for athletic cut |
The tank top ($19.99) is ideal for warm weather layering under an open hoodie. All items are available at the official GTA store.
Washing and Shrinkage
To keep your hoodie fitting right, wash in cold water and tumble dry low. The 80/20 cotton-poly blend minimizes shrinkage, but expect about 2-3% reduction in length after the first two washes. Skip hot water and high heat to preserve the brushed interior.
