Fit and sizing guide
Every piece is printed or stitched after you order it, and because of that we cannot take it back for a sizing miss. So this page exists to get the size right the first time. It takes two minutes.
The two-minute method
Do not guess from your usual size. Take a tee or hoodie you already own and like the fit of, lay it flat, and measure it:
- Length: from the highest point of the shoulder, next to the collar, straight down to the bottom hem.
- Width: straight across the chest, one inch below the armholes.
- Sleeve (tees): from the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve.
Then find the row below that matches. Supplier measurements can vary by up to 2 inches, so if you land between two sizes, go up for a relaxed fit and down for a closer one.
The Arc Tee and The Name Tee
Comfort Colors 1717. Heavyweight 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed, relaxed fit, true to size. Unisex sizing: most women choose one size down from their usual men's size for a regular fit, or their usual size for an oversized look.

Inches, garment laid flat. Shop The Arc Tee in black, The Arc Tee in bone or The Name Tee.
The Arc Hoodie
Cotton Heritage M2580 premium pullover. This hoodie runs small. For the relaxed fit most people want from a hoodie, order one size up from your usual. Measure a hoodie you own and compare, not a tee.
| Size | Length | Width | Fits chest |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 27 | 20 | 38–41 |
| M | 28 | 21 | 42–45 |
| L | 29 | 23 | 46–49 |
| XL | 30 | 25 | 50–53 |
| 2XL | 31 | 26.5 | 54–57 |
| 3XL | 32 | 28 | 58–62 |
Inches, garment laid flat. Shop The Arc Hoodie.
The Arc Cap
Yupoong 6245CM classic dad hat, one size. The adjustable strap and antique buckle fit head circumferences from about 21.5 to 24 inches, which covers almost every adult. Unstructured and low profile, so it sits close to the head rather than standing up. Shop The Arc Cap.
The Arc Sticker
Two sizes: 3 by 3 inches, which suits a phone case or the corner of a laptop, and 4 by 4 inches for a water bottle, notebook or car window. Kiss-cut, so the backing is larger than the sticker and it peels cleanly. Shop The Arc Sticker.
Care
Wash cold, inside out, with like colours. Tumble dry low or hang. Do not iron directly on the print. The tees and hoodie are garment-dyed and soft-washed, so shrinkage is minimal, but heat is the enemy of any print: cool washes keep the arc crisp for years.
Still not sure?
Email kaden@smilingispower.com with the measurements of the piece you own and the one you are looking at, and we will tell you which size to pick. We would much rather answer a question than see a shirt sit in a drawer.
