Green & White Checkered Cotton Hoodie — Measurement, Materials, Model, Care & Style

How to measure

Use a flexible measuring tape. Measure over a thin layer of clothing, stand naturally (don’t suck in), keep the tape parallel to the floor and snug but not tight. Below are quick, reliable methods for measuring yourself and the hoodie laid flat.

Measuring your body (to choose a size)

• Chest / Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest/bust, across the shoulder blades and under the armpits. Keep the tape level and relaxed.
• Waist: Measure at the narrowest part of your torso (natural waist), usually just above the belly button.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of the hips/seat with feet together.
• Sleeve length: With arm relaxed at your side, measure from the center back of your neck across the shoulder to the wrist bone. This gives the full sleeve length commonly used for hoodies.
• Shoulder width: Measure across the back from one shoulder seam to the other (or from the outer edge of one shoulder to the other).
• Body length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (next to the neck) straight down to where you want the hoodie hem to sit.

Measuring the hoodie (garment laid flat)

• Chest (pit-to-pit): Lay hoodie flat, smooth wrinkles, measure across the front 1 inch (2–3 cm) below the armholes from seam to seam, then multiply by 2 for the full circumference.
• Body length: From the highest point of the shoulder (neck seam) down to the bottom hem.
• Sleeve length: From the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. To compare with body measurements measured from center-back, add the back neck to shoulder seam distance.
• Shoulder width: Measure flat from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
• Hem width: Measure straight across the bottom hem flat and double for circumference.
• Hood: Measure hood depth (center back seam to front opening) and hood width (across front when laid flat) if hood fit is important.

Tips: If you are between sizes, choose the larger size for a relaxed/oversized look or the smaller size for a slimmer fit. Always compare your measurements to the product’s size chart.

Conversion: 1 in = 2.54 cm.

Materials

This Green and White Checkered Cotton Hoodie is crafted to balance comfort and everyday durability. Typical material details:

• Shell / Main fabric: 100% cotton (medium-weight knit, often brushed on the inside for a soft fleece feel).
• Rib trims (cuffs & hem): Cotton-rich rib (often blended with a small amount of elastane for recovery, e.g., 95–97% cotton / 3–5% elastane).
• Hood & drawstring: Cotton drawstring; metal or reinforced eyelets where applicable.
• Pocket: Kangaroo pocket with reinforced stitching; same cotton or cotton-blend pocket bag.

Properties: breathable, soft, absorbent, and comfortable for daily wear. Cotton may soften further after washing but can also experience slight shrinkage if exposed to high heat—follow the care label for best results.

Note: If exact fiber breakdown is required (e.g., a different cotton blend or pre-shrunk finish), please check the sewn-in care/contents label for this specific item.

Model information

For fit reference, sample model information is shown below. Use these as a guide when comparing to your measurements.

• Female model — Height: 5'9" (175 cm); Bust: 34" (86 cm); Waist: 25" (64 cm). Wearing size S (relaxed fit).
• Male model — Height: 6'0" (183 cm); Chest: 38–40" (97–102 cm); Waist: 31" (79 cm). Wearing size M (standard relaxed fit).

If you prefer a slimmer silhouette, consider sizing down; for an oversized/streetwear look, size up one full size.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Turn the hoodie inside out before washing to protect the print/check pattern and reduce pilling.
• Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle with like colors. Use a mild detergent.
• Avoid bleach and strong stain removers that can fade color.
• Skip fabric softener when possible—excessive softener can coat cotton fibers and reduce absorbency and texture over time.
• Either line dry flat or tumble dry on low heat. To minimize shrinkage, reshape while damp and dry flat or hang to finish drying.
• Warm iron inside-out if needed. Avoid ironing directly over printed logos or trims.
• Store folded rather than hanging heavy hoodies for long periods to prevent shoulder stretching.
• For stains: treat promptly with a mild stain remover or diluted detergent; test on an inconspicuous area first.
• If pilling occurs, remove gently with a fabric shaver or pill comb.

Always follow the care instructions on the garment’s label—those are specific to the batch and finish of the piece you receive.

Style tips

• Casual everyday: Pair with slim blue denim and white sneakers for a clean, balanced look that lets the green-and-white check take center stage.
• Athleisure: Wear with tapered joggers and low-profile trainers. Add a baseball cap for a sporty vibe.
• Layered: Layer under an unlined denim jacket or a neutral-coloured bomber; the check pattern will peek out as the focal point.
• Smart-casual: For a dressier twist, team with tailored chinos and desert boots; keep the rest of the outfit in solid, muted tones (navy, beige, charcoal).
• Color pairing: Works best with neutrals—denim, white, navy, tan—or deeper greens/earth tones. Avoid clashing patterns; let the check be the statement.
• Accessories: Minimal jewelry (a simple chain or watch), beanies in neutral shades, or a leather backpack complement the hoodie without overwhelming it.
• Seasonal: In cooler months, layer under a wool overcoat for contrast; in warmer months, wear as a lightweight top over a tee or tied at the waist for a casual look.
