What this hoodie is like
It is a Gildan 18500: 271 gsm, a two-layer lined hood with a matching drawstring and a kangaroo pocket at the front. It is the only garment in the catalogue with a hood, the one that handles mid-season on its own and goes under the down jacket in January. It is also, by some distance, the one that most often ends up being given as a present.
Read more about this hoodie
The kangaroo pocket and the drawstring take chest away from the drawing: the print sits above the pocket, on the top half, which is the continuous surface the garment has. It is a real limitation and better said before than after: if what you want is to see the whole design, the crew neck sweatshirt gives it to you with nothing in front, and the print gives it at wall size.
Inside out, at 30 °C and dried on low. The hood and the cuffs take a good deal longer to dry than the rest, and rushing them with a hot dryer is exactly what ends up shrinking the ribbing. It goes from S to 5XL. In white it leans towards off-white, because of the cotton and polyester blend.

The drawing on «El Pequod»
The three-masted whaler with every sail set, the whaleboat hanging from its davits and the bowsprit pointing out of the frame. It is the ship, not the whale.
Where this drawing comes from
What hangs along the sides are whaleboats, not lifeboats. The hunting was done from them; the big ship was only the floating factory where the blubber was boiled down.
Time to be straight with you: it is a tall drawing and the kangaroo pocket leaves only the top half of the chest, so the Pequod is printed smaller than on any other garment in order to fit whole above it. If you want it at full size, the crew neck sweatshirt gives you a clean chest and the print takes it to the wall.
«Moby-Dick», chapter XVI, where Melville describes the Pequod. The rig is that of the mid-19th-century New England whaler —three masts and whaleboats hung along the sides— just as it comes out in the whaling prints of the time.
Sizes: measurements, where each one is made and what it costs
Measurements of the garment, not of your body. Take one that fits you the way you like, lay it flat and measure: the width from seam to seam below the sleeve, and the length from the highest point of the shoulder down to the hem. These are the ones the factory itself publishes, in centimetres.

Sizes 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL cost more because they use more fabric and the factory charges us more for them: we would rather say so here and stock them than not have them. The regular sizes all cost the same.
«Made in» comes from the warehouse Printful declares for that exact size, not from an estimate of ours.
