Whether you're after the oversized look George rocks on stream or a more fitted everyday style, this GeorgeNotFound hoodie sizing guide will help you nail the fit every time.

Why Hoodie Sizing Matters for GeorgeNotFound Merch
Back in the early days, fan merch was often one-size-fits-all or extremely limited in options. Today, the GeorgeNotFound store offers a range of hoodie styles - from classic pullovers to zip-ups and cropped cuts. But with variety comes confusion. Getting the right size isn't just about comfort; it's about matching the vibe you see in George's content. Whether you want that cozy oversized look he wears during streams or a more standard fit for daily wear, knowing your measurements is key.
Most GeorgeNotFound hoodies are unisex, designed on standard blanks. That means the fit leans slightly boxy - great if you prefer room in the chest and shoulders. But if you're on the shorter side or want a more tailored look, you might need to size down. I've had customers say their size large feels like an XL because of the drop-shoulder design. Understanding these nuances before you order saves you from return hassles.
GeorgeNotFound Hoodie Size Chart and Measurements
The official size chart for GeorgeNotFound hoodies (unisex pullover) typically looks like this. Keep in mind these are body measurements, not garment measurements, so compare with your own.
| Size | Chest (in) | Length (in) | Sleeve (in) |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 34-36 | 27 | 33.5 |
| S | 38-40 | 28 | 34.5 |
| M | 42-44 | 29 | 35.5 |
| L | 46-48 | 30 | 36.5 |
| XL | 50-52 | 31 | 37.5 |
| 2XL | 54-56 | 32 | 38.5 |
| 3XL | 58-60 | 33 | 39.5 |
A few things to note: The chest measurement is taken one inch below the armpit. Length is from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem. Sleeve length is from the center back neck to the end of the cuff. If you're between sizes, I recommend going up if you want room to layer or prefer an oversized look. For a snug fit, go down.
Understanding the Numbers
Don't just rely on your usual T-shirt size. Hoodies tend to fit differently because of the thicker fabric and ribbed cuffs. A medium in a standard tee might fit, but a medium hoodie could feel tight in the arms after washing. The chart above is pre-shrunk, but always air dry to maintain size.
How to Take Your Own Measurements at Home
Grab a soft measuring tape and a friend - or use a mirror. Here's what to do:
1. Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape horizontal and snug but not tight. Keep your arms down. 2. Length: Measure from the highest point of your shoulder (near the neck) straight down to where you want the hem to hit. For a standard hoodie, this is usually at the hip. 3. Sleeve: Bend your arm slightly. Measure from the center back of your neck, across your shoulder, and down to your wrist bone.
Alternatively, you can measure a hoodie that fits you well. Lay it flat, measure from armpit to armpit for chest (double that for full chest), from shoulder seam to hem for length, and from shoulder seam to cuff for sleeve. Compare these numbers to the size chart.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't measure over bulky clothes. Wear a thin shirt or measure bare skin.
- Don't pull the tape too tight. It should rest against your body without digging in.
- If you're between sizes, always size up for hoodies - you can't easily shrink them, but you can always layer.
Fan Tips for the Perfect Fit: Oversized vs. Snug
The GeorgeNotFound community has strong opinions on fit. Here's what I've gathered from fan discussions and reviews:
The Oversized Look (Most Popular)
Most fans go for the oversized vibe - size up once from your true size. George himself often wears hoodies that look a bit roomy, especially during his Minecraft Manhunt videos. If you want that same relaxed, comfortable feel, order one size up. For example, if you normally wear a medium in T-shirts, get a large in the hoodie. This gives you extra length in the body and sleeves without looking sloppy.
Pro tip: If you're 5'9" or taller, sizing up once will give you a good balance. Shorter fans (under 5'6") might find the sleeves too long when sizing up, so stick to true size for a standard fit.
The Snug Fit (For Layering)
If you plan to wear your GeorgeNotFound hoodie under a jacket or want a more fitted silhouette, stick to your regular size. This works best for the zip-up hoodie style, which already has a more tailored cut. Keep in mind that 100% cotton hoodies will shrink slightly in the first wash - about 1-2% in length. So if you're on the edge of a size, going with the larger option prevents a too-short result.
What the Community Says
In a recent poll on a fan Discord server with over 2,000 members, 65% said they prefer the oversized fit (size up once), 25% said true to size, and 10% said they size down for a crop-like look. The cropped hoodie was the exception - 80% of owners said true to size gave them the intended fit.
FAQ
How do GeorgeNotFound hoodies fit compared to other brands?
They're cut slightly boxier than brands like Gildan or Hanes. The shoulders are relaxed, so if you're used to a more athletic fit, you may want to size down. Compared to Champion reverse weave, these hoodies are less tapered at the waist.
Will a GeorgeNotFound hoodie shrink after washing?
Yes, expect about 1-2% shrinkage in length and very minimal in width. To minimize shrinking, wash in cold water and air dry. If you must use a dryer, use low heat and remove while slightly damp.
What size should I get if I'm 5'7" and 150 lbs?
Based on the size chart, you're likely a medium. Chest 38-40" is typical for that build. If you want an oversized look, go large. Many fans your size report that large gives a comfortable relaxed fit without being overwhelming.
Can I return or exchange if the size is wrong?
Yes, but check the store's return policy on their contact page. Most fan merch stores allow exchanges for unworn items within 30 days. Visit the Contact Us page to start the process.
Are there different size charts for different hoodie styles?
Yes. The zip-up and cropped hoodies have slightly different measurements. The zip-up runs a bit more fitted, so if you're between sizes, size up. The cropped hoodie is designed to hit at the waist - true to size works best, but if you want more coverage, go one up.
Key Takeaways
- Measure yourself using the chest, length, and sleeve guidelines.
- The most popular choice is to size up once for a relaxed, oversized look.
- If you're between sizes, choose the larger option for hoodies.
