Tips for First-Time Buyers
You've got your measurements. You've seen the comparison. Here's how to make the final call.
If You're Between Sizes
Always size up. The hoodie is designed to be roomy, and the tee will shrink slightly. Size up for a guaranteed comfortable fit. I've had zero complaints from fans who went up versus many from those who sized down too aggressively.
Account for Your Washing Habits
Cold wash, hang dry: virtually no shrinkage. Warm wash, machine dry on low: expect up to 5% shrinkage on tees. Hoodies are more resistant. If you tumble dry, factor that into your decision. I always air dry to preserve the print and shape.
When to Size Up for a Specific Look
- Want Zion's exact stream look? Size down one on the hoodie (he prefers a less baggy fit than the default oversize).
- Want that cozy, draped vibe? Order your usual size or one up.
- Layering under a jacket? Go true to size on the 'Glitch Logo Tee' - it's cut slimmer intentionally.
Key Takeaways
- Measure a well-fitting garment and compare to the listed dimensions - don't rely on your generic t-shirt size.
- Hoodies run intentionally oversized; size down one if you want a closer fit.
- Tees are true-to-size but shrink slightly; size up for a relaxed look.
- Labeled sizes (S, M, L) are unisex; women may want to size down one for a fitted look.
- The 'Broski Hoodie' 80/20 cotton-poly holds shape well after washing. for best results, air dry.
FAQ
What size should I order if I'm 5'10" and 170 lbs?
You'll likely want a size M in the Broski Hoodie for a relaxed fit similar to Zion's, or L if you prefer a baggier look. For tees, size M will give a classic fit, L for oversized. Check the chest and length measurements against your favorite shirt.
Do Zion Broski hoodies shrink?
The hoodie fabric is pre-shrunk and resistant to shrinkage (less than 2%). Tees (100% ring-spun cotton) may shrink 2-5% depending on wash and dry method. Washing in cold water and air drying minimizes this.
Are Zion Broshi merch sizes unisex?
Yes, all tops are unisex cut. The hoodie is particularly forgiving across body types. Women who prefer a more tailored fit often choose one size smaller than their usual unisex size.

Is the 'Zion's Favorite Tee' true to size?
Yes, it's designed to fit true to size based on standard US measurements. However, because it's 100% cotton, you may experience slight shrinkage. If you want the tee to stay loose after washing, go one size up.
