How to Choose Your Hozier Size
Start with Your Measurements
Forget “small” or “large” labels - they vary by brand and even by shirt style. Grab a soft measuring tape and check:
- Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waistline.
- Hips: For longer tees and hoodies, measure around the widest part.
Write these numbers down. Then compare them to the size chart for each product below.
Hozier Premium Hoodie - The Heavyweight Layer
The Hozier Premium Hoodie ($49.99) is a fan-favorite for a reason. It’s built from 80% cotton and 20% polyester with a 320gsm fleece and brushed interior - think thick, warm, and structured. That also means it won’t stretch much over time, so choose your fit carefully.
Sizing notes:
- Runs true to size for a standard fit. If you prefer an oversized look (great for layering over flannels), go up one size.
- Length: Falls just below the waistband. Taller fans might want to size up for extra length.
- Sleeves: Ribbed cuffs are snug but not tight. They stay put without rolling.
- Washing: Because of the heavy cotton content, it may shrink slightly (1-2%) in the first wash. Air drying preserves the fit best.
We’ve seen fans on social media raving about the hoodie’s weight - one called it “a wearable blanket.” Just keep that in mind if you run hot.
Hozier Classic T-Shirt - Everyday Essential
The Hozier Classic T-Shirt ($24.99) is your go-to for warm weather or layering. It’s a standard 100% ringspun cotton tee with a soft hand feel.
Sizing notes:
- Runs slightly small. Many buyers recommend going up one size, especially if you like a relaxed fit.
- Neckline: Crew neck, not too tight, but won’t stretch out quickly.
- Length: Hits right at the hip. Size up if you want to tuck it in or need more length.
- Shrinkage: Cotton tees can shrink up to 5% in hot water. Wash cold and tumble dry low to preserve size.
If you’re between sizes, go up. The classic tee looks better with a bit of room.
Hozier Polo Shirt - Polished Casual
The Hozier Polo Shirt ($34.99) bridges concert-ready and everyday style. It’s a cotton-pique knit with a two-button placket.
Sizing notes:
- True to size for a tailored fit. The pique fabric holds its shape well.
- Sleeves: Short sleeves with a 1-inch ribbed cuff. They sit at mid-bicep.
- Length: Falls just below the belt line. Great for untucked wear.
- Fabric: Less shrink than the tee - about 2-3% max. Still, wash cool.
This one’s popular with fans who want something dressier than a tee but still comfortable. Check your chest measurement carefully - the polo doesn’t stretch much.
Hozier Tank Top - Warm Weather Go-To
The Hozier Tank Top ($19.99) is perfect for summer festivals or gym days. It’s a blend of cotton and elastane for a bit of stretch.
Sizing notes:
- Runs small. The stretch lets it hug your body, so if you want a looser fit, go up one size.
- Armholes: Cut close - no excessive side exposure. Size up if you want more breathing room.
- Length: Cropped, hitting just above the hip. Not recommended if you prefer full-length tops.
- Care: The elastane means it’s resistant to shrinkage, but high heat can degrade the stretch. Hang dry.
General Tips for All Merch
- Check the size chart on each product page. They’re specific to that item - don’t assume all tees fit the same.
- Read reviews. Other fans often mention how things fit. Look for “runs small” or “true to size” comments.
- Consider your layering plan. If you’ll wear a hoodie over a tee, go with your normal size for the hoodie and size down in the tee to avoid bulk.
- For international buyers: US sizing is standard. If you’re used to European or Asian sizing, you’ll likely need to size up.
