Complete Guide Overview
If you’ve ever ordered a T-shirt online and ended up with something that fits like a sail or a sausage casing, you know the struggle. At Dropout, we want your merch to feel as good as the content you love - that means nailing the size the first time. This guide covers every major item in the official Dropout store, from the classic tee to the hoodie you’ll never want to take off. We’ll walk you through the materials, fits, and tricks to picking the right size, so you can spend more time laughing at Game Changer and less time wrestling with a return label.
How to Choose
Dropout Classic T-Shirt ($24.99)
The Dropout Classic T-Shirt is your go-to everyday tee. Made from 100% ring-spun cotton, it’s pre-shrunk, so what you see on the size chart is what you get after washing. The fit is relaxed and unisex - not too boxy, not too fitted. If you like a standard tee, go with your usual size. Want a slightly slouchy vibe? Size up. Want it more tailored? Size down, but keep in mind the cotton will hold its shape.
Quick tip: The ring-spun cotton has a soft, lived-in feel from day one. It’s not stiff like some budget tees. If you’re between sizes and prefer a relaxed look, take the larger size.
Dropout Premium Hoodie ($49.99)
The hoodie runs true to size but is cut generously. It’s designed for layering, so if you plan to wear a tee under it, stick with your normal size. If you want a cozier, oversized look (perfect for Dimension 20 marathons), go up one size. The fleece lining is plush but not bulky - it won’t make you look like a marshmallow.
Dropout Polo Shirt ($34.99)
Polos tend to have a more structured fit, and this one is no exception. The Dropout Polo is true to size with a standard men’s/unisex cut. If you’re between sizes and want a more modern, slim look, size down. If you prefer room through the chest and shoulders, size up. The fabric has a bit of stretch, so it moves with you.
Dropout Tank Top ($19.99)
The tank is designed with a slim, athletic cut. It runs slightly smaller than the classic tee, so if you’re between sizes, go up one. The armholes are cut high but not extreme - you’ll stay covered while staying cool. Great for summer or layering under an open button-down.
General Sizing Tips
- Chest measurement is king: Grab a measuring tape and measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level under your arms. Compare that to the product size chart (available on each product page).
- Unisex sizing: Our apparel is cut for a standard unisex fit. Women may prefer to size down, but many find the relaxed fit works with their normal size.
- Pre-shrunk means less guesswork: You don’t need to account for shrinkage. Wash cold and tumble dry low to keep your gear looking fresh.
Where to Buy Official Merch
Only the official Dropout store sells genuine, high-quality Dropout apparel. Avoid knockoffs from third-party sites - they often use cheap materials and inconsistent sizing. Plus, buying from the official store directly supports the creators who make Make Some Noise, Play It By Ear, and everything else you binge. You can explore the full collection to see all available items, including hats, accessories, and limited drops.
Pro tip: Sign up for the newsletter on the store to get notified about restocks and new designs. Popular items like the Dropout Classic T-Shirt sell out quickly.
FAQ
What if I’m between sizes on the Dropout Classic T-Shirt?
Size up if you prefer a looser, relaxed fit. Size down if you want a more fitted silhouette. The pre-shrunk cotton will stay true to the size you choose.
How does the Dropout Premium Hoodie fit compared to the classic tee?
The hoodie runs slightly roomier due to its fleece lining. Most customers order the same size they wear in the tee. If you want a snug fit, size down.
Can I exchange or return if the size doesn’t work?
Yes - the official Dropout store offers exchanges and returns within 30 days of delivery. Items must be unworn with tags attached. Check the store’s return policy for details.
Are the sizes the same for all Dropout merch?
No, each product has its own size chart because materials and cuts differ. Always refer to the chart on the specific product page before ordering.
Does the Dropout Tank Top shrink?
The tank is pre-shrunk, but like all cotton garments, it may shrink slightly if washed in hot water or dried on high heat. Wash cold and air dry to maintain the fit. - -
