I still remember unboxing my first Ashtin Earle t-shirt. The fabric had that perfect weight - not too thin, not stiff - and the print was vibrant. But I'd guessed on the size and ended up with a slightly roomier fit than I wanted. That's why I put together this Ashtin Earle size guide: to help you nail your fit the first time.
Whether you are grabbing a t-shirt for daily wear or a hoodie for cozy streaming sessions, getting the right size makes all the difference. This guide covers exact measurements, fit notes, and community tricks so you can order with confidence.
Understanding Ashtin Earle Apparel Sizing
Ashtin Earle's merchandise line uses a unisex sizing standard that runs true to size for most people. But "true to size" can mean different things across brands. The blanks used for her tees and hoodies come from a well-known print-on-demand supplier that produces consistent cuts year after year. This means the size chart stays reliable - a medium in 2025 will match a medium in 2026.
Unisex vs. Fitted
The t-shirts are cut with a straight side seam and a relaxed shoulder - a classic unisex shape. I've found that if you prefer a more tailored look, you can size down. For a looser, oversized vibe (which many fans favor), go up one size. The hoodies have a generous cut by design. They are meant to layer over a t-shirt without feeling tight.
Material Shrinkage
Both tees and hoodies are 100% cotton (or a cotton-poly blend for the hoodies). Cotton can shrink about 3-5% in the first wash if you use hot water. I always recommend washing in cold and tumble drying on low to preserve the fit. If you are between sizes and prefer a snugger fit after possible shrinkage, choose the smaller size.T-Shirt Size Chart and Fit
Below are the approximate body measurements for Ashtin Earle t-shirts. These are based on the garment's chest width (measured from armpit to armpit) and length (from top of shoulder to bottom hem).
| Size | Chest Width (in) | Length (in) |
|---|---|---|
| S | 18 | 28 |
| M | 20 | 29 |
| L | 22 | 30 |
| XL | 24 | 31 |
| 2XL | 26 | 32 |
| 3XL | 28 | 33 |
How the T-Shirt Fits
A size Medium has a chest width of 20 inches, which comfortably fits a 38-40 inch chest (body measurement). The length is 29 inches - just enough to tuck in or let out. The cotton jersey has a soft hand feel after a couple of washes. The collar holds its shape well; it doesn't stretch out like some cheaper brands.Community Feedback
From chatting with other fans, the most popular size for women is a Small (fitted) or Medium (relaxed). Men usually go true to size. Short wearers sometimes complain that the length is a bit long, but that is by design for tucking. If you are under 5'5", consider the next size down to avoid excess fabric at the hem.Hoodie Fit Guide
Ashtin Earle hoodies come in the same unisex sizing but are intentionally roomier. Here are the key measurements:
| Size | Chest Width (in) | Length (in) | Sleeve Length (from center back) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 20 | 27 | 33 |
| M | 22 | 28 | 34 |
| L | 24 | 29 | 35 |
| XL | 26 | 30 | 36 |
| 2XL | 28 | 31 | 37 |
| 3XL | 30 | 32 | 38 |
Oversized Comfort
The hoodie's chest width is about 2 inches larger than the corresponding t-shirt size. So a Large hoodie has a 24-inch chest, similar to an XL t-shirt. This extra room is intentional - these hoodies are meant to be cozy and layered. The fleece fabric (80% cotton, 20% polyester) has a brushed interior that adds warmth without bulk.Sleeves and Length
Many fans size up in hoodies for a slouchier look. The sleeves run long - the size Medium sleeve is 34 inches from center back. If you have shorter arms (under 30-inch sleeve length), the cuffs will bunch up, which many people actually like. For a neater look, stick to your normal size.How to Measure Yourself for Perfect Fit
To use the size charts, you need accurate body measurements. Here is a no-fuss method:
Step 1: Chest
Wrap a measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, under your armpits. Keep the tape horizontal and snug but not tight. Round to the nearest half inch.Step 2: Waist
Measure around your natural waistline (just above the belly button). This helps if you want a fitted tee or a hoodie that doesn't ride up.Step 3: Length (Optional)
For length, measure from the top of your shoulder (where a shirt seam sits) down to where you want the hem to fall. For t-shirts, a good rule is to aim for the hip bone.Pro Tip: Compare to a Favorite Garment
Lay a well-fitting t-shirt flat. Measure from armpit to armpit and from shoulder to hem. Compare those numbers to the size chart - it is the most reliable method. I always do this before ordering and it has never steered me wrong.Tips for Choosing the Right Size
1. If between sizes, size up for comfort. The fabric has some give but not a lot. A slightly oversized tee looks purposeful, while one that is too tight does not. 2. Consider your layering plan. If you wear a hoodie over a t-shirt, buy the same size as your t-shirt. The hoodie already has room built in. 3. Watch the length. T-shirts are designed to be long enough to tuck. If you are tall (over 6'2"), you might prefer the length of an XL or larger. If you are petite, size down. 4. Remember shrinkage. Cotton shrinks mostly in the first wash. If you like a snug fit after washing, stick with your regular size. If you want the original fit to last, wash cold and hang dry. 5. Read reviews. Other buyers often mention if a specific color or drop fits differently. On rare occasions, a batch might run slightly smaller. Checking recent reviews before ordering can save you a size swap.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Ignoring the length measurement. Many people only check chest width. A shirt that fits across but is too short or too long will not look right. Always check length, especially if you are outside the 5'6"-6'0" height range.
- Assuming all unisex tees fit the same. Even within the same brand, different shirt styles (e.g., basic tees vs. oversized crops) use different patterns. The size charts here are for the standard crew neck and hoodie. Always check the specific product page for any notes.
- Ordering based on your usual retail size. A "Medium" at one fast fashion store might measure 21 inches chest, while Ashtin's Medium is 20 inches. Always use the chart, not your memory.
- Not considering the intended look. If you want the oversized style that Ashtin often wears in her videos, you need to size up. Her personal go-to fit is a Large in t-shirts (she's 5'7") and an XL in hoodies.
Pro Tips from the Community
- Go up two sizes for an extreme oversized hoodie. Some fans wear a size 2XL Large even if they normally wear a Medium t-shirt. This creates a drapey, sweater-like look that is great for lounging.
- Wash hoodies inside out to protect prints. The screen-printed designs hold up well, but turning them inside out before washing minimizes friction and keeps colors bright.
- Use a fabric shaver after several washes. The fleece interior can pill over time. A quick pass with a shaver restores the soft feel. This is especially handy for hoodies worn often.
- If you like a cropped fit, have it hemmed locally. Taking an inch off the bottom of a tee costs about $10-15 at a tailor. It gives you a custom fit without waiting for a special drop.

- Unisex sizing in Ashtin Earle's merch is consistent and true to size for standard fit.
- Size up one in tees for a relaxed look, and two in hoodies for an oversized silhouette.
- Always measure a garment you own for the most accurate comparison.
- Wash cold and tumble dry low to minimize shrinkage.
- The community favorite is to size up in hoodies - the extra room is worth it.
