Complete Guide Overview
Getting the right size for your Caedrel hoodie isn't just about numbers on a tag - it's about how it feels when you throw it on before a stream or wear it out with friends. The Caedrel Premium Hoodie ($49.99) is a heavyweight pullover made from 80% cotton and 20% polyester, with a 320gsm fleece brushed interior for warmth and softness. But that cozy, street-ready fit? It starts with knowing your measurements.
This guide covers everything: how to measure yourself, how the hoodie fits (spoiler: relaxed but not boxy), what to expect after washing, and how it compares to other fan-merch in the official store. Whether you're grabbing your first piece or adding to the collection, you'll walk away knowing exactly what size to click.
Why Sizing Matters for This Hoodie
Because the Premium Hoodie is cut for comfort, not skintight performance. If you're between sizes, you'll want to decide based on whether you prefer a closer fit or room to layer. Plus, the heavy fleece means it holds its shape - but also means shrinkage can happen if you don't follow care instructions. More on that later. - -
How to Choose Your Caedrel Hoodie Size
Step 1: Grab a Tape and Measure
Skip the guesswork. Use a soft measuring tape (the kind tailors use) and measure two key spots:
- Chest: Wrap the tape under your armpits, across the fullest part of your chest. Keep it snug but not tight. Breathe normally.
- Length: Measure from the top of your shoulder (where the neck seam sits) down to where you want the hoodie hem to hit. Usually just below the waistband.
- Sleeve length? Not on the size chart? No worries - the hoodie's raglan sleeves mean the shoulders are relaxed, so sleeve length varies a bit. Focus on chest and torso length.
Step 2: Compare with the Size Chart
Here's the official sizing for the Caedrel Premium Hoodie. Remember, these are garment measurements - laid flat, then doubled for chest.
| Size | Chest (inches) | Length (inches) |
|---|---|---|
| S | 38-40 | 26 |
| M | 40-42 | 27 |
| L | 42-44 | 28 |
| XL | 44-46 | 29 |
| 2XL | 46-48 | 30 |
Note: If your chest measures 42 inches and you want a relaxed fit, size up to L. For a tighter fit, M works.
Step 3: Account for Shrinkage
The cotton-poly blend means minimal shrinkage (about 3-5% in length if washed hot and dried on high). To be safe - especially if you're right between sizes - go up one size. I've seen too many fans jam a shrunken hoodie and complain. Wash cold, hang dry, and it'll stay true.
How It Fits Compared to Other Caedrel Merch
- Caedrel Classic T-Shirt ($24.99): That tee is cut slim through the body. The hoodie is more generous. If you wear M in the tee, stay with M in the hoodie for a similar ease - or go L for a baggier vibe.
- Caedrel Polo Shirt ($34.99): The polo is tailored, so many fans size up. For the hoodie, stick with your normal size unless you want extra room.
- Caedrel Tank Top ($19.99): Tank is relaxed but short. The hoodie has longer coverage. Go with your usual size.
Real Talk: How It Looks On
The hoodie has a good weight - it drapes nicely without being stiff. The brushed interior is soft against skin. The large front pocket is deep enough for a phone and snacks during a long stream session. The hood is roomy, fits over a cap easily. If you're built broad-shouldered, the relaxed cut accommodates without feeling tight across the back. - -

FAQ
Q: How does the Caedrel Premium Hoodie fit? True to size or oversized? A: It's a relaxed fit - not skinny, not baggy. Most fans stick with their normal shirt size. If you plan to layer over a hoodie or want a roomier look, go up one size.
Q: Does the hoodie shrink in the wash? A: A little, if you use hot water and high heat. To keep it perfectly sized, wash cold and hang dry. Expect maybe 1-2% shrinkage on first wash if you follow that.
Q: Can I return or exchange the hoodie if the size is wrong? A: Yes! The official store offers free exchanges within 30 days of delivery (unworn, with tags). Just reach out to support.
Q: What size should I pick if I'm 5'10" and 170 lbs? A: Around 38-40" chest → Large gives a comfortable fit without being too loose. Medium would be tighter. Check the chart above.

Q: Is the hoodie heavy enough for winter? A: It's 320gsm fleece, so it's substantial. Great for fall and mild winter. Pair with a jacket for below-freezing temps. - -
