Why Getting the Right Fit Matters
When you rep the Pat McAfee Show, you're not just wearing a shirt - you're proclaiming your allegiance to the chaotic, unfiltered world of PMT. Every piece of merch carries the weight of the show's personality: bold, oversized, and unapologetically loud. Getting the right fit isn't about vanity - it's about honoring the energy. A too-tight tee crushes the vibe. A baggy hoodie swallows the pat McAfee logo. The fit sets the tone for how you carry the brand.
Besides vibe, comfort drives daily wear. Pat McAfee fans are known to tailgate, workout, and travel in their gear. A shirt that binds under the arms or a hoodie that rides up ruins the experience. Proper sizing means you can throw it on without adjusting every five minutes. That's why this guide exists: to save you the headache of guessing.
How to Measure for Pat McAfee Show T-Shirts
Before you click add to cart, grab a soft measuring tape and a tee you already own that fits perfectly. Lay it flat on a table. Measure across the chest from armpit seam to armpit seam. That's your chest width. Double it for full chest circumference. Pat McAfee Show tees use a standard unisex sizing chart, but the cut leans generous. If your chest measures 40 inches, a medium (usually 38-40) may feel snug, while a large (42-44) gives that signature relaxed look.
Next, measure the length from the top of the shoulder seam to the bottom hem. This avoids surprises like a crop-top effect. The show's longer tees are intentional - they tuck in cleanly or hang loose over jeans. Compare your numbers to the size chart on the product page. When in doubt, round up. The PMT tee style works best with a little extra room, especially in the shoulders where the design print often sits.
Pat McAfee Show Hoodie Sizing Tips
Hoodies are the bread and butter of Pat McAfee Show merch. They're thick, warm, and built to survive cold stadiums. But the sizing plays tricks. Most hoodies come in a unisex cut with a roomy torso and narrower sleeves. To measure, lay a hoodie you like flat and measure chest width as you would a tee. Also check the sleeve length from shoulder seam to end of cuff. The show's hoodies tend to run slightly short in the sleeves compared to the body, so if you have long arms, size up.
A critical factor: shrinkage. PMT hoodies are heavyweight cotton blends that can shrink up to half a size in the first wash. If you prefer a loose, comfortable fit (the standard for most fans), order one size larger than your t-shirt size. If you want a trim fit, stick to your tee size but expect it to tighten after dry cleaning. Never use high heat dry - air drying preserves the print and prevents uneven shrinking.
Women's Fit vs Unisex: Which to Choose
The Pat McAfee Show merch line offers both women's fitted tees and unisex cuts. Women's sizes are cut narrower through the chest and waist, with shorter overall length. If you typically wear a women's medium, the unisex small will give you a similar shoulder width but feel boxier. For a curvier figure, women's medium provides more waist definition. For a baggy look that matches the show's aesthetic, unisex sizes work well, but many women size down one from their usual.
Testimonials from female fans: "I ordered a unisex medium hoodie and it swallowed me. Swapped to women's medium - perfect." The key is knowing your preference. The unisex cut prioritizes the oversized Pat McAfee feel. The women's cut offers a sharper silhouette. Both are legitimate. Match the cut to your day - fitted for the gym, oversized for the couch.
Common Sizing Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Relying on your shirt size from another brand. PMT merch is its own beast. A medium in a slim-fit Nike tee feels nothing like a PMT medium. Always check the specific size chart for each product. Another classic error: ignoring the garment fabric. Heavyweight hoodies fit tighter than lightweight ones in the same size because the material has less give.
Buying multiples of the same size without trying one first. Even within the same product line, colors can fit differently due to dye processes. Darker dyes sometimes shrink more. Order one piece, test it, then commit to a collection. And never assume a size based on a friend's recommendation - their preferred fit varies. Measure yourself, read reviews, and take the guesswork out.
