Sizing and fit

Why do two things in the same size fit differently?

Quick answer

Mostly it's fabric and cut: stretchy jersey tees, less stretchy French terry Tweaters and roomier fleecy sweaters each wear differently in the same size.

Mostly it's the fabric and the cut. Across our tee styles the fit should be much the same, give or take, but our three weights are made to feel different.

  • Tees are stretch jersey and sit snug, like activewear.
  • Tweaters are French terry, a thicker loopback knit with less stretch than jersey, so the same size has a different give.
  • Sweaters are fleecy and cut about 5 cm (2 in) roomier in the chest, so they layer over a tee.

Long Johns fit differently again. They cover all four legs and won't suit every hound's shape, so check the measurements carefully before ordering.

If something feels wrong rather than just different, send a photo to aroo@houndtees.com.au. Once in a while we've found a garment that was mislabelled, and we'd rather know.
