Complete Guide Overview
Whether you're gearing up for the latest Dimension 20 season or settling in for a Game Changer marathon, wearing the right size merch makes all the difference. This guide breaks down Dropout's sizing for every product, from the classic tee to the premium hoodie. We'll show you how to measure yourself, what to expect after washing, and where to buy official merch that fits.
How to Choose the Right Size
Step 1: Take Your Measurements
Use a soft measuring tape and stand naturally. For best results, measure over a similar garment (like a t-shirt you already own).
- Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level and snug but not tight.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waistline (typically just above the belly button).
- Length: From the top of the shoulder (at the collar seam) down to the bottom hem.
- Sleeve: For hoodies and polos, measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
Step 2: Compare to Dropout's Size Chart

Note: All measurements are in inches and refer to the garment's flat lay dimensions. The Dropout Classic T-Shirt is made from 100% ring-spun cotton and is pre-shrunk, so what you get is what you'll keep after washing.
Step 3: Consider Product-Specific Fit
- Dropout Classic T-Shirt ($24.99): Relaxed unisex fit that suits most body types. If you prefer a more fitted look, consider sizing down. If you like extra room (or plan to layer), stay true to size.
- Dropout Premium Hoodie ($49.99): Roomy and cozy. Size down if you want a standard fit; stay true if you like it baggy. The hoodie runs slightly large to accommodate layering.
- Dropout Polo Shirt ($34.99): Tailored with a bit of stretch. Size up if you're between sizes or prefer a looser polo. Great for a sharp, casual look.
- Dropout Tank Top ($19.99): Slim fit that hugs the body. Size up for a more relaxed armhole and length.
Where to Buy Official Dropout Merch
Only genuine Dropout merch comes from the official Dropout store. Avoid third-party sellers - counterfeits often use different sizing and lower-quality materials. Buying direct ensures you get the exact fit and fabric described. Plus, items like the Classic T-Shirt use 100% ring-spun cotton that holds its shape. If you're not sure where to start, explore the full collection at dropoutmerchstore.com/collections and use the size chart on each product page.
FAQ
1. What if I'm between sizes? For relaxed fits (tee, hoodie), size down if you prefer a standard look. For tailored fits (polo, tank), size up. Check the specific product's size chart and measure a similar garment you own for guidance.
2. Will the Classic T-Shirt shrink after washing? The shirt is pre-shrunk, so shrinkage is minimal (under 1-2%). Wash in cold water and tumble dry low to preserve the fit.
3. Are Dropout sizes unisex? Yes, all listed sizes are unisex. The Classic T-Shirt and Premium Hoodie are designed with a relaxed unisex cut. The polo and tank are also unisex but have more tailored silhouettes.
4. Can I exchange if the size doesn't work? Yes, Dropout's return policy allows exchanges for unworn items within 30 days. Check the store's website for exact terms.
5. How do I measure my chest if I don't have a tape? Use a piece of string or ribbon to wrap around your chest, then measure it against a ruler. Or lay a well-fitting t-shirt flat and measure from armpit to armpit, then double that number.
