How to Choose
Measuring Yourself
Before you click "add to cart," grab a soft measuring tape and follow these steps:
- Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level under your armpits and across your shoulder blades.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waistline, usually just above your belly button.
- Sleeve length: For hoodies and polos, measure from the center back of your neck to your wrist, with your arm slightly bent.
- Torso length: For a general sense of length, measure from the top of your shoulder down to where you want the hem to hit (usually mid-hip).
Pro tip: Write down your measurements and compare them against the specific size chart for each product. Don't rely on your regular clothing size - unisex fits can be different.
Understanding Sizing by Product
#### Crime Junkie Podcast Classic T-Shirt ($24.99)
The classic tee is a fan favorite for a reason. Made from 100% ring-spun cotton with a pre-shrunk finish, it's designed for a relaxed unisex fit. If you prefer a slimmer silhouette, consider ordering one size down. If you like a bit of room or plan to layer, stick with your normal size. The pre-shrunk fabric minimizes surprises after the first wash, but cold water and low heat are still your best friends.
#### Crime Junkie Podcast Premium Hoodie ($49.99)
This hoodie is built for cozy crime solving. It features a relaxed fit with a slightly dropped shoulder seam. Many fans report it runs true to size but the body length is generous - great for tall listeners. If you're between sizes, go with the larger size for extra comfort. The hoodie's fabric includes a cotton-polyester blend that holds its shape well.
#### Crime Junkie Podcast Polo Shirt ($34.99)
The polo shirt offers a more polished look for Crime Junkie meet-ups or casual office days. It has a classic fit with a standard collar and two-button placket. Because it's 100% cotton, expect minimal shrinkage. If you want a trimmer fit, size down; for a more relaxed look, go true to size.
#### Crime Junkie Podcast Tank Top ($19.99)
Perfect for warm weather or workouts, the tank top has a loose, airy fit. It's cut with wider armholes and a longer body length. Most fans say it runs true to size, but if you want less coverage, size down. The tank is made from soft cotton jersey that softens with every wash.
Unisex vs. Women's Sizing
All Crime Junkie Podcast merchandise currently uses unisex sizing, which means the fit is designed to accommodate a range of body shapes. For women and those with narrower shoulders, the classic tee and tank top might feel a bit roomier in the shoulders and chest. If that's a concern, consider trying a size smaller than your usual women's size. For example, a women's medium often corresponds to a unisex small.
