Complete Guide Overview
So you're looking at grabbing a Noah Kahan hoodie. Smart move. The Noah Kahan Premium Hoodie is a heavyweight pullover with his logo and fan-inspired graphics, built for comfort and street-ready style. But here's the thing: getting the right size can make or break that cozy, lived-in feel. Too tight and you're fighting the fabric all day. Too loose and you lose that sharp, intentional look. This guide breaks down every measurement, fabric quirk, and fit preference so you can nail your order the first time.
How to Choose
Understand the Fabric
The Noah Kahan Premium Hoodie is made from 80% cotton, 20% polyester with a 320gsm fleece and brushed interior. That 320gsm is key - it's thick, substantial, and doesn't shrink as much as lighter cotton hoodies. The brushed interior adds softness but also means the hoodie will feel snugger initially because the fleece takes up internal space. After a few wears, it loosens up slightly.
Measure Yourself
Grab a measuring tape (or use a string and ruler). Here's what to measure:
- Chest: Under your armpits, around the fullest part of your chest and shoulder blades. Keep the tape snug but not tight.
- Length: From the highest point of your shoulder (where the hood meets the body) down to where you want the hem. Usually just below the waist.
- Sleeve: From the center back of your neck, across your shoulder, and down to your wrist bone. Slight bend in elbow is fine.
Size Chart
| Size | Chest (inches) | Length (inches) | Sleeve (inches) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 34-36 | 27 | 33.5 |
| M | 38-40 | 28 | 34.5 |
| L | 42-44 | 29 | 35.5 |
| XL | 46-48 | 30 | 36.5 |
| 2XL | 50-52 | 31 | 37.5 |
Note: These are garment measurements, not body measurements. If your chest is 38 inches, a size M should work. If you're between sizes, size up for a relaxed fit or down for a trim look.
Fit Preference
- Slim fit: Stick to your actual chest measurement or size down if you want a cropped, modern look. Be aware the 320gsm fleece won't drape as loosely.
- Regular fit: Choose the size matching your chest. This gives you room to move without being baggy.
- Oversized/relaxed: Size up at least one, maybe two. The Premium Hoodie is already a standard fit, so going to XL from L gives you that slouchy vibe. Many fans on social media say they go one size up for layering.
Consider Layering
If you plan to wear this hoodie over a t-shirt (like the Noah Kahan Classic T-Shirt at $24.99) or a long-sleeve, stick with your normal size. If you want to layer under a jacket, go with your true size - the thick fleece fills out jackets nicely. If you're layering over a hoodie? Unlikely, but if you're that committed, size up.
Shrinkage Reality
Cotton/poly blends sometimes shrink a bit, especially if you hot wash and dry. But 320gsm fleece is dense, so shrinkage is minimal - maybe a half inch in length and width. To be safe, if you're between sizes, go up. Or plan to wash cold and air dry. The Noah Kahan Premium Hoodie holds its shape well because of the polyester reinforcement.

FAQ
Q: How does the Noah Kahan Premium Hoodie fit compared to other brands? A: It's similar to a standard Champion or Gildan medium weight hoodie. The 320gsm fleece makes it feel substantial but not stiff. If you wear a large in most streetwear hoodies, a large in this should work. For a more relaxed fit, go one size up.
Q: Will the hoodie shrink after washing? A: Minimal shrinkage due to the 80/20 cotton-poly blend and dense fleece. Expect maybe a 1/4 inch in length. Wash cold and tumble dry low to keep it true to size.
Q: What if I'm between sizes? A: Size up for comfort and layering, or size down for a more tailored look. The brushed interior adds internal bulk, so if you prefer a cozier feel, go up.
Q: Is the hoodie unisex? A: Yes, the sizing chart is based on standard men's/unisex measurements. Women may want to size down for a more fitted look. Check the chest and length to match your preference.
Q: How do I return or exchange if the size is wrong? A: The official store has a 30-day return policy for unworn items with tags. Visit the website for details and to initiate an exchange. They're responsive and helpful.
