Hoodies and T-shirts are the backbone of almost every haul. They are affordable, light to ship and easy to wear every day. But “easy” does not mean “automatic”: fit and fabric vary a lot between listings. This guide explains how to choose Kakobuy Spreadsheet hoodies and Kakobuy Spreadsheet T-shirts that fit the way you want and feel good to wear. For the complete ordering process, see the Kakobuy Spreadsheet homepage buying guide.
Know Your Fit Before You Browse
Before opening the Hoodies/Sweaters or T-Shirts categories, decide which fit you want:
- Regular fit: follows your body with a little room. Classic and clean.
- Relaxed fit: wider through the chest and arms, comfortable for everyday wear.
- Oversized or boxy fit: dropped shoulders, wide body and often a shorter length. Very popular in streetwear.
Many listings are designed to be boxy, so ordering your “normal” size may already give an oversized look. That is why measurements matter more than labels.
How to Measure a Top You Already Own
- Lay your favorite hoodie or T-shirt flat on a table.
- Chest width: measure straight across, armpit to armpit.
- Length: measure from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem.
- Shoulder: measure seam to seam across the back.
- Sleeve: measure from the shoulder seam to the cuff.
Write these numbers down in centimeters and compare them with the size chart on each listing. Choose the size whose numbers are closest to your favorite garment, with chest width and length as the most important values.
Understanding Fabric Weight
Many listings show fabric weight in grams per square meter (GSM). It tells you how thick the fabric is:
| Item | Lighter | Mid-weight | Heavyweight |
|---|---|---|---|
| T-shirts | Thin, soft, summer tees | Everyday basics | Thick, structured, boxy tees |
| Hoodies | Light layering pieces | All-season hoodies | Warm, dense hoodies that hold their shape |
Heavyweight items look more premium and keep their shape after washing, but they add weight to your parcel. Mix one or two heavy pieces with lighter ones to balance cost.
Hoodies: What to Look For
- Hood shape: a double-layered hood stands up better.
- Ribbing: firm cuffs and hem keep the silhouette clean.
- Inside fabric: brushed fleece is warmer; loopback terry is lighter and breathes better.
- Print or embroidery: check close-up photos for clean edges.
T-Shirts: What to Look For
- Collar: a thick, tight rib collar keeps its shape after washing.
- Length vs width: boxy tees are wide and short; check both numbers.
- Print quality: look for sharp lines and even color in close-ups.
- Color options: neutrals like white, black, grey and cream are the easiest to style.
Sweaters and Knitwear
The Hoodies/Sweaters category also includes crewneck sweatshirts, knitted sweaters and cardigans. Knitwear behaves differently from cotton jersey. Chunky knits stretch a little over time, so a snug fit at first will relax with wear. Fine-gauge knits look smarter and layer well under jackets, but they are less forgiving if they are too small. Check the material listed on the page: wool blends are warmer and hold their shape, while acrylic blends are lighter and easier to wash. For a cardigan, measure the chest with the garment buttoned, because an open cardigan always looks wider in photos.
Common Sizing Questions
I am between two sizes. Which should I choose? For hoodies and boxy tees, the larger size usually looks more intentional. For fitted tees, choose the smaller size if the length is right, because tees relax a little after wearing.
Are Asian sizes smaller? Often, yes. Many listings run one size smaller than US or EU labels, which is exactly why comparing centimeter measurements works better than comparing letters.
The chart only shows body measurements. What now? Some charts describe the body that fits the garment rather than the garment itself. If the numbers look small, read the note carefully or ask the warehouse to measure the item before shipping.
Do colors look different in person? Warehouse lighting can shift colors slightly. Judge by the contrast between the body, the print and the ribbing rather than by the exact shade.
QC Checklist for Tops
When your items arrive at the warehouse, review the QC photos for the size tag, print alignment, stitching along the shoulders and hem, and color accuracy. If the fit is important to you, request a measurement photo of chest width and length. Compare it with your own garment before approving.
Washing and Care
To keep tops looking new, wash them inside out in cold water and avoid the tumble dryer when possible. Heavyweight cotton can shrink slightly on the first wash, so if you are between two sizes, the larger one is often the safer choice. Printed and embroidered designs last longer when you iron them on the reverse side only.
