Have you ever ordered a hoodie online, waited a week, and found it too baggy or too snug? That feeling is the worst. Especially when it's a Pat McAfee Show hoodie you've been hyped to wear. This Pat McAfee Show hoodie size guide helps you get it right the first time. We'll walk through the sizing chart, measuring tips, and style differences so you can order with confidence.
But first, here's a quick overview of the most popular hoodie options.
| Product/Pick | Best For | Key Feature | Price Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic Pullover | Everyday wear, casual look | Front pouch pocket, cotton-poly blend | $55 - $65 |
| Zip-Up Hoodie | Layering, versatility | Full front zip, side pockets | $60 - $70 |
| Premium Heavyweight | Cold weather, warmth | 400gsm fleece, double-lined hood | $75 - $85 |
| Lightweight Pullover | Gym, travel, warmer days | 280gsm french terry, breathable | $45 - $55 |
| Oversized Fit Hoodie | Relaxed street style | Drop shoulder, wider body | $60 - $70 |
What does the Pat McAfee Show hoodie sizing chart tell you?
Each Pat McAfee Show hoodie follows a standard unisex sizing chart. But the numbers vary slightly by style. The Classic Pullover and Premium Heavyweight have the same base measurements, while the Oversized Fit hoodie runs about 2 inches wider in the chest at each size.
| Size | Chest Width (inches) | Body Length (inches) | Sleeve Length (inches) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 20 | 26 | 33.5 |
| M | 21 | 27 | 34.5 |
| L | 23 | 28 | 35.5 |
| XL | 25 | 29 | 36.5 |
| 2XL | 27 | 30 | 37.5 |
These measurements are for the Classic Pullover. For the Zip-Up, expect a slightly slimmer chest (about half an inch less) because the zipper adds structure. The Oversized Fit hoodie adds 2 inches to chest and 1 inch to body length.
Why the fabric matters
Cotton-poly blends (common in our hoodies) have minimal stretch. If you prefer a looser fit, size up. The Premium Heavyweight uses thicker fleece, which can feel more snug initially but relaxes with wear. The Lightweight Pullover has more drape and can be worn true to size.
How do you measure yourself for the perfect fit?
Grab a soft measuring tape and a full length mirror. Here are the three measurements you need:
- Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it level under your arms. Add 2-4 inches for a relaxed fit.
- Body length: Measure from the top of your shoulder (where a seam would sit) down to where you want the hem. For a standard hip length, go about 1-2 inches below your waistband.
- Sleeve length: Start at the center of your back (at the base of your neck), run the tape across your shoulder, down your arm to your wrist bone. Or measure from the shoulder seam of a well fitting shirt to your wrist.
Compare to a hoodie you already own
If you have a hoodie that fits perfectly, lay it flat and measure its chest (armpit to armpit) and length (shoulder seam to hem). Match those numbers to our chart. This method is often more reliable than body measurements.
Pullover vs zip-up: which Pat McAfee Show hoodie style is right for you?
Both styles have loyal fans, but they serve different purposes.
The case for the pullover
The Classic Pullover is the go-to for fans who want a bold front logo and a cozy feel. The lack of a zipper means no bulk and a cleaner look. It's also warmer because there's no zipper gap. Many fans wear it to game days or casual hangouts. The pocket is perfect for a phone or remote.
The case for the zip-up
The Zip-Up Hoodie is better for layering over tee shirts or under jackets. It's easier to take on and off without messing up your hair. The side pockets are deeper and more secure. If you run hot, you can unzip it to cool down without removing it entirely. The Pat McAfee Show Zip-Up often features a large back print that stands out when you leave it open.
Which one fits differently?
The pullover has a more relaxed body because there's no zipper stiffening the front. The zip-up fits slightly more tailored through the torso. If you're between sizes, the zip-up might feel tighter in the chest, so consider going up a size if you want a relaxed fit.
Should you go oversize or stick with a fitted look?
Pat McAfee himself favors a relaxed, comfortable look on the show. But the right choice depends on your personal style and how you plan to wear the hoodie.
Go true to size for a classic fit
If you want the hoodie to fit like a standard sweatshirt - not too baggy, not too tight - order your usual size. The chest should have about 1-2 inches of ease. The sleeves should fall to your wrist bone. The body should hit around your hip. This works best for layering under a light jacket.
Size up for an oversized look
Many fans go one size up for a trendier, relaxed silhouette. The sleeves become slightly longer (which looks intentional) and the body drapes lower. This is especially popular with the Classic Pullover and Oversized Fit Hoodie. Just be aware that the shoulders will drop, which can make the hoodie feel heavier.
Size down? Only if you want a slim fit
Sizing down can work for the Lightweight Pullover if you want a trim gym-ready look. But for the Premium Heavyweight, sizing down will feel restrictive. I don't recommend it.
What do Pat McAfee Show fans say about hoodie sizing?
In my experience, most fans find the sizing consistent with major streetwear brands like Nike or Champion. But there are a few common notes:
- The cotton blends shrink slightly in the first wash (about 2-3% in length). If you're between sizes, go up to be safe.
- The sleeves on the Classic Pullover run a bit long for shorter fans (under 5'8"). Some fans have the sleeves hemmed, but many just let them bunch.
- The Premium Heavyweight runs slightly snug through the chest because of the thick fleece. Fans who want room to layer often go up a size.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Pat McAfee Show hoodie fit compared to Nike or Adidas?
It fits similarly to a standard Nike Dri-FIT hoodie. If you wear a large in Nike, order large here. The only difference is the cotton-poly blend has less stretch, so the fit is slightly more structured.
Will the hoodie shrink after washing?
Yes, cotton hoodies can shrink 2-3% in length and width on the first wash. To minimize shrinkage, wash in cold water and tumble dry on low or hang dry. If you want to avoid surprise shrinkage, size up.
What if I'm between sizes?
Size up. A slightly bigger hoodie can be cinched at the drawstrings or cuffed, but a too-small hoodie will feel restrictive in the arms and chest. If you prefer a snug fit, order your true size and wash gently.
Are the sleeves long enough for taller fans?
The sleeves run about 36.5 inches for XL and 37.5 for 2XL. For someone over 6'2", the 2XL should work. If you're 6'4" or taller, consider the Oversized Fit hoodie, which has longer sleeves (adds 1.5 inches).
Which Pat McAfee Show hoodie is best for hot weather?
The Lightweight Pullover in a lighter color. It's made from 280gsm french terry, which breathes better than fleece. The zip-up also works because you can unzip it. Avoid the Premium Heavyweight for warm days.
