Clothing sizes no idea what im doing.

So i recently placed an order for the Black N7 Elite Armour Stripe Hoody from the BioWare store.
Now im 5' 7" about 140 pounds and leaning toward thin. I ordered a medium. the measurement on the medium is length 29.5" width 23". I have no idea what im doing when it comes to measuring my self so im wondering if you guys could gimme advice im worried it may be too big. Normally i wear a medium. Anyway anyone else own any of there products? Let me know if you think the size i picked would be fine or not?

The general rule of measuring for ordering is to measure around your chest about an inch or so below the armpit. Then take the width of the hoodie, double it, then subtract 0.5". If your chest measurements are less than that number, you should be fine width-wise.

As for length, at 29.5", it should be okay, depending on how your height is distributed.

Or you know try and measure one of your own hoodies, that you know for sure fits.

Yea took some measurments seemed like medium would be big even after shrinkage so i decided to go with a small. I dont want to have it be to big on me and ther sizes seem to run a little large.

Doesnt always work. Got 2 stretch jeans with the same size 33/34 but one is perfect while the other is too wide and looks awkward. good damn china jeans

If worse comes to worst, you can just go to the suit area in a boutique or department store somewhere and say you need to be measured. Any place that sells higher-end menswear will have somebody around to measure you.

I always think it´s better with too big then too small. So I buy L or XL, even thou I have M or L in sizes (it always varies between different brands too).

The difference is that there are fewer varieties of cut in hoodies, than there are in jeans. You also find a lot more difference between brands in jeans depending on what part of the waist they measure.
