Sizing Tips for Gifts

When buying for a college student, sizing can be tricky. Here's a quick guide:

• Minecraft Premium Hoodie: Runs true to size. If they like a looser fit for layering, go one size up. The 320gsm fleece has structure and won't shrink drastically.
• Classic T-Shirt: True to size, pre-shrunk cotton. Stick with their usual shirt size.
• Polo Shirt: Slightly tailored fit. Stay with their normal polo size.
• Tank Top: Relaxed fit. Size down if they want a snugger look.
