How to Measure Yourself for a Mr Beast Hoodie
Step 1: Measure Your Chest
Stand up straight with your arms at your sides. Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, just under the armpits. Keep the tape level across your back. Write down the number in inches and centimeters. This is your chest circumference, not your garment width. For a comfortable regular fit, plan for your chest measurement plus 4 to 6 in (10 to 15 cm). Common mistake: measuring over a thick sweater. You will end up ordering a tent.
Step 2: Measure Your Waist and Hips
Find your natural waistline, usually about one inch above your belly button. Wrap the tape there loosely. Then measure your hips at the widest point. This second number matters if you're between chest sizes, because hoodies with a straight cut can fit your chest yet cling to your hips. I see this most often with unisex sizing.
Step 3: Measure Sleeve Length from Center Back
Start the tape at the center of your back, right at the bone at the base of your neck. Run it across your shoulder, down the outside of your arm, and stop at your wrist bone. Divide the total by 2 if you're comparing with a half-back measurement listed on some size charts. A typical 5'9" adult gets a 24 to 25 in (61 to 63.5 cm) sleeve length.
Step 4: Compare Your Numbers to the Garment Measurements
The size chart on our product pages lists body width, not your chest circumference. For a Classic Beast Pullover in size L, the body width is 24.5 in (62 cm). That style fits a chest circumference of about 44 to 46 in (112 to 117 cm). The Beast Glow Hoodie in size L runs slightly narrower at 24 in (61 cm), so fans who order by their usual shirt size often need to go one full size up for that drop-shoulder look.
Step 5: Choose Your Fit and Keep the Print in Mind
Decide between regular and oversized. For regular, add 4 to 6 in to your chest. For oversized, add 8 to 10 in. Then check the front graphic: a larger body width will make the same design look smaller. If the print spans 12 in across, it will cover about 50% of a 24 in chest panel but only 40% of a 30 in panel. When you size up more than two sizes, expect the graphic proportion to change.
