A classic sweatshirt should have a round neck, which means you can combine it with all kinds of undergarments. However, it is important that the collar of the sweatshirt does not cut into the neck, nor should it be too tight, because the sweatshirt is still a comfortable garment and should look like one.

Going up a size will result in extra room in your sweater; if you like your sweaters really baggy, this might be the look you want. Going down a size will result in a closer fit.

How do you calculate the length of a neck band?

The methods for calculating neckband lengths that I found online and in books are just approximations, and they don’t work for the full range of band widths and neckline lengths, but the other problem is that each fabric needs a different band length to account for how much it stays stretched out after you pull the garment over your head.

How is the sleeve and neck of a shirt measured?

Men’s shirt sizes come in a two-part number. The first number listed on the tag of the shirt is the neck measurement, and the second one is the sleeve measurement. For example, a shirt may be sized as 16/34. Use both your neck and sleeve measurements to find the right size.
