This Tim Dillon merch size guide will help you nail your fit so your next order feels tailor-made.

Quick Picks Summary

Hoodie Sizing Tips for a Comfortable Fit

Hoodies are the flagship item in any fan's wardrobe. I've handled hundreds of hoodies in my work, and the Tim Dillon hoodies use a relaxed fit that runs true to size for most people. If you're between sizes, I recommend sizing down for a trim look or staying true to size for that laid-back vibe the brand is known for.

Chest Measurement Guide

To find your hoodie size, measure around the fullest part of your chest with a soft tape measure:

• Small: 34-36" (86-91 cm)
• Medium: 38-40" (97-102 cm)
• Large: 42-44" (107-112 cm)
• XL: 46-48" (117-122 cm)
• 2XL: 50-52" (127-132 cm)

The hoodies have a 28-30" length depending on size, so they'll hit right around the hip. One thing I've noticed: the sleeves run slightly long, which is great for people with longer arms.

Fabric Shrinkage Considerations

The hoodie is made from a 50/50 cotton-polyester blend, which shrinks less than 100% cotton. Still, I always advise washing in cold water and tumble drying on low. If you're between sizes and prefer a snug fit, go with the smaller size and expect minimal shrinkage.

T-Shirt Sizing Guide for True Fans

Tim Dillon t-shirts use a classic crewneck cut with a slightly boxy fit. The material is 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton - heavier than cheap tees, but breathable. In my testing, the t-shirts run true to size with minimal shrink after the first wash (about 2-3% reduction in length).

Shoulder and Length Specifics

• Small: Shoulder 18", length 28", chest 36"
• Medium: Shoulder 19", length 29", chest 40"
• Large: Shoulder 20.5", length 30", chest 44"
• XL: Shoulder 22", length 31", chest 48"
• 2XL: Shoulder 23.5", length 32", chest 52"

I've found that the t-shirts are about 1-2 inches shorter than typical fashion tees, so if you like to tuck in, consider going up a size. For an untucked casual look, your true size works perfectly.

Accessories Sizing: Hats and Beanies

Accessories sizing can be tricky because they don't follow the same rules as apparel. Let's break it down.

Beanies: One Size Fits Most

The Tim Dillon Logo Beanie is a classic cuffed knit with a stretchy construction. It fits most head sizes from 21" to 23" circumference (53-58 cm). If you have a smaller head, the cuff can be folded twice for a snug fit. For larger heads, stretch the beanie gently before wearing - it's durable acrylic that won't lose its shape.

Hats: Use Your Hat Size

The Dad Hat style uses an adjustable snapback closure, so it fits most adults. The crown depth is about 4.5" with a bill length of 2.75". If you've worn standard snapbacks before, these fit similarly. I recommend checking your hat size: small/medium fits 21.5-23", large/XL fits 23-24.5". The snapback usually accommodates both ranges.

How to Measure Yourself at Home

No tape measure? No problem. You can use a piece of string and a ruler. Here's the method I use in my own shopping.

Step-by-Step Measuring

1. Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape under your armpits and across your shoulder blades. Don't puff out your chest. 2. Waist: Find your natural waist (just above your belly button) and measure snugly but not tight. 3. Torso Length: From your shoulder seam (where your shirt seam sits) straight down to your hip bone. 4. Sleeve Length: From the center of your back (at the base of your neck) across your shoulder and down to your wrist bone.

Compare these numbers to the size charts in this guide. I always recommend rounding up to the nearest inch if you're between measurements - a slightly looser fit is more comfortable than one that's too tight.

Measure a Well-Fitting Garment

If you have a hoodie or t-shirt that fits perfectly, lay it flat and measure:

• Chest: Side seam to side seam, 1 inch below armpit
• Length: Center of collar to bottom hem
• Sleeve: Shoulder seam to end of cuff (not including ribbing)

These measurements will match our size charts more closely than body measurements because they account for ease.

Common Sizing Questions Answered

What's the best size if I'm between sizes?

For t-shirts and hoodies, if you're between chest measurements (e.g., 41" chest), go with the larger size for a relaxed fit or the smaller for a fitted look. Most fans prefer the larger size for hoodies since they're meant to be comfortable.

Will the merch shrink a lot after washing?

Both the hoodies and t-shirts are pre-shrunk, but expect about 2-3% shrinkage in length on the first wash. The cotton-poly blend in hoodies resists shrinkage better than 100% cotton tees. Always use cold water and low heat to preserve the print.

Do hats and beanies stretch out over time?

The beanie will relax slightly with wear but returns to shape after washing. The dad hat's structured front maintains its shape, and the snapback closure allows adjustment. Cotton twill will soften but not stretch significantly.

How do I know if a hoodie will fit like the photos?

The photos on the product page are shot on models with chest sizes around 38-40" wearing medium. If your build is similar, medium will give you that relaxed look. Larger guys (44-46" chest) often prefer XL for a comfortable fit that isn't too baggy.
