Complete Guide Overview
Getting the right fit for your PBD Podcast gear makes all the difference. Whether you're copping a new tee for a live show or layering up for a chill stream-watching session, this sizing guide breaks down everything you need to know about our t-shirts, hoodies, and more.
PBD Podcast merch is designed for real fans who want comfort and durability. Our best-selling PBD Podcast Classic T-Shirt uses 100% ring-spun cotton that's pre-shrunk and built to last. That means the size you pick today is the size you'll wear after countless washes. The relaxed unisex fit gives you room to move without looking baggy - ideal for everyday wear or hitting the gym.
For cooler days, the PBD Podcast Premium Hoodie ($49.99) delivers a cozy fleece interior with a slightly roomier cut to layer over a tee. It's become a fan favorite for events and casual outings.
We've also got the PBD Podcast Polo Shirt ($34.99) for a smarter take and the PBD Podcast Tank Top ($19.99) for those hot summer debates. Each item has its own sizing nuances, and we're going to cover them all.
How to Choose the Right Size
T-Shirts (Classic T-Shirt)
The Classic T-Shirt runs true to size with a unisex relaxed fit. If you prefer a more tailored look, go down one size. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up for extra comfort. Here's a quick reference:
| Size | Chest (in) | Length (in) | Sleeve (in) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 34-36 | 28 | 8.25 |
| M | 38-40 | 29 | 8.5 |
| L | 42-44 | 30 | 8.75 |
| XL | 46-48 | 31 | 9 |
| 2XL | 50-52 | 32 | 9.25 |
| 3XL | 54-56 | 33 | 9.5 |
Pre-shrunk fabric means minimal change after washing. You can expect less than 1% shrinkage. Our customers often say the medium fits like a classic medium should - not too tight, not too loose.
Hoodies (Premium Hoodie)
The Premium Hoodie is designed to be roomier to allow for layering. We recommend ordering your normal t-shirt size. If you want a slimmer fit, drop down one size. Key measurements:
| Size | Chest (in) | Length (in) | Sleeve (in) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 36-38 | 27 | 34 |
| M | 40-42 | 28 | 35 |
| L | 44-46 | 29 | 36 |
| XL | 48-50 | 30 | 37 |
| 2XL | 52-54 | 31 | 38 |
| 3XL | 56-58 | 32 | 39 |
The hoodie's fleece interior is soft but holds its shape. It's a straight fit from chest to hem, so it won't flare out at the bottom.
Polo and Tank Top
PBD Podcast Polo Shirt - This is a more structured garment with a slightly trimmer cut. If you usually wear a large in tees, you might prefer an XL in the polo for a relaxed feel. The polo is 100% cotton pique with a three-button placket.
PBD Podcast Tank Top - Designed for a close but comfortable fit. Go with your normal t-shirt size. The armholes are cut high for mobility and a modern look.
Quick Tips for First-Time Buyers
- Measure your chest (under arms, around the fullest part) and compare to our size charts.
- Check your own shirts that fit well - use those measurements as a benchmark.
- Remember: our unisex tees are pre-shrunk, so you don't need to size up for shrinkage.
- For oversized fits (loungewear or street style), go up one or two sizes from your normal.

FAQ
What size should I get if I'm 5'10" and 170 lbs?
Most fans with your build go for a Large in the Classic T-Shirt and Premium Hoodie. If you like a closer fit, a Medium may work. Check the chest measurements: Large fits 42-44 inches chest, which should be comfortable.
Do the t-shirts shrink after washing?
The Classic T-Shirt is pre-shrunk, so shrinkage is minimal - less than 1%. Wash in cold water and tumble dry low to keep the fit consistent.
What's the difference between unisex and men's sizing?
Our unisex fit is based on men's sizing but tailored to be slightly more relaxed through the hips and shoulders. Women often size down one or two sizes for a more fitted look. For example, a woman who wears a women's Medium might choose a Small in our Classic Tee.
Can I exchange my order if the size doesn't fit?
Yes! We offer free exchanges within 30 days. Just contact support and we'll ship the new size. The item must be unworn and unwashed.
Is the hoodie true to size like the t-shirt?
The hoodie runs slightly roomier by design. If you want a similar fit to your tee, order the same size. For a slimmer fit, drop down one size. - - If you're looking for something connected to your next debate session or gym grind, the PBD Podcast Classic T-Shirt is a solid place to start. - -
