How to Choose the Right Size
Measure Yourself Accurately
Grab a soft measuring tape and follow these steps:- Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, just under your armpits. Keep it snug but not tight.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waistline (just above your belly button).
- Hips: For longer styles like the Premium Hoodie, measure around the widest part of your hips.
- Length: For t-shirts and tank tops, measure from the highest point of your shoulder down to where you want the hem to fall (usually near the hip bone).
Kurzgesagt Sizing by Product
Each product has its own fit personality. Here’s what to expect:#### Kurzgesagt Classic T-Shirt ($24.99) Made from 100% ring-spun cotton (pre-shrunk), this tee has a relaxed unisex fit. It’s not boxy, but it’s not slim either - think of your favorite well-worn concert tee. The pre-shrunk treatment means what you order is what you get after washing. Size up if you prefer a looser, more casual drape; size down for a closer fit. Check the size chart for each color variation, as some colors use slightly different blanks.
#### Kurzgesagt Premium Hoodie ($49.99) This is a heavyweight champion. The hoodie has a roomy fit with ribbed cuffs and hem that keep their shape. It runs true to size for a standard cozy feel. If you plan to layer under a jacket, go true to size. If you want extra room for lounging, size up one. The fleece lining adds warmth, so consider your layering needs.
#### Kurzgesagt Polo Shirt ($34.99) A more tailored option. The polo has a classic fit - not too slim, not too loose. The fabric has a bit of stretch, so it moves with you. If you’re between sizes, the polo looks cleaner when slightly fitted, so lean toward the smaller size. Perfect for office casual or events.
#### Kurzgesagt Tank Top ($19.99) Slim and athletic cut. The armholes are cut comfortably high - great for showing off shoulders. Runs slightly smaller than the t-shirt, so if you’re between sizes, consider going up one. Great for summer workouts or lazy Sundays.

Fit Preference Tips
- Snug / Tailored: Order your usual size for the Classic T-Shirt or Polo. For the Tank Top, maybe size up once.
- Standard / Relaxed: Stick with your usual size for all items except the Tank Top (size up).
- Oversized / Boxy: Order one or two sizes up in the Classic T-Shirt or Premium Hoodie. The hoodie’s cut works especially well when oversized.

FAQ
How do I know which size to order if I’m between sizes? For the Classic T-Shirt and Premium Hoodie, we recommend sizing up if you prefer a looser feel or if you’ll be layering. For the Polo, go with the smaller size for a neater look. The Tank Top runs smaller, so size up.
Will the Kurzgesagt Classic T-Shirt shrink after washing? The Classic T-Shirt is pre-shrunk, so shrinkage is minimal (less than 5%). Wash in cold water and tumble dry low to preserve the fit and print.
Can I exchange my order if the size doesn’t fit? Yes, the official store accepts returns and exchanges within 30 days of delivery, as long as the item is unworn and in original packaging. Check the store’s return policy for full details.
What if I’m buying a hoodie as a gift and don’t know the person’s measurements? When in doubt, go with a medium or large - those are the most common sizes. You can also include a gift receipt for easy exchange.
Do the Premium Hoodie and Polo use the same sizing? No, they have different fits. The hoodie is roomier and heavier, while the polo is more tailored. Always consult the specific product size chart before ordering. - -
