FAQ & Support
1. How Do I Know Which Size Fits Me? (Sizing Guide)
Sizing varies by brand, style (e.g., Champion hoodies vs. custom tees/jerseys), and fit (relaxed streetwear vs. athletic). Always check the specific size chart on each individual product page before orderingβit's the most accurate for that item.
General Instructions to Measure Yourself Accurately:
β’ Use a flexible tape measure (or string + ruler).
β’ Measure over a thin layer (like a t-shirt) for tops; stand relaxed, not sucking in.
β’ Compare your measurements to the product's size chart (usually in inches/cm, showing body or garment measurements).
β’ Streetwear often has a relaxed/oversized fitβsize up if you prefer baggier or layering.
Standard Measurement Guide (Typical for BlackTop Apparel):
β’ Chest/Bust: Measure around the fullest part, under arms, across shoulder blades.
β’ Waist: Measure around natural waistline (belly button level).
β’ Hips: Measure around fullest part of hips.
β’ Length: From shoulder seam to hem (for shirts/hoodies).
β’ Sleeve: From center back neck to cuff.
Example Approximate Garment Measurements (based on common streetwear/Printify standards for similar Champion and custom piecesβverify per product):
β’ Small: Chest 34-37" (86-94 cm), Length ~27-28".
β’ Medium: Chest 38-41" (97-104 cm), Length ~28-29".
β’ Large: Chest 42-45" (107-114 cm), Length ~29-30".
β’ XL: Chest 46-49" (117-124 cm), Length ~30-31".
β’ 2XL: Chest 50-53" (127-135 cm), Length ~31-32".
Many items offer Men's, Women's, and Youth sizing with unisex/relaxed options. For hoodies like the Blacktop 'B' Logo Champion, expect a roomy fit with midweight fabric. Jerseys and tees are lightweight/breathable. If between sizes, go up for comfort in streetwear styles.
Pro tip: Lay a favorite fitting garment flat and measure it to compare.
