Fallout Welcome to New Vegas Hoodie: Fit and Layering FAQ

Quick answer

Order your usual size for a standard fit, or size up if you plan to layer over a thick shirt or prefer a roomier hoodie. The 65% ring-spun cotton / 35% polyester blend with a 100% cotton face feels soft and holds its shape; wash cold and tumble dry low to protect the print and fit.

Why the fabric blend changes how this hoodie fits and feels

The Fallout Welcome to New Vegas Hoodie uses a 65% ring-spun cotton / 35% polyester blend with a 100% cotton face. That combination gives you a smooth, printable outer surface with a bit of structure, while the polyester helps the hoodie resist shrinking and wrinkling compared with an all-cotton fleece.

Practically, that means the fit you get out of the bag is close to the fit you keep after washing, provided you follow the care label. It also means the hoodie has less stretch than a high-polyester garment, so if you are between sizes or want to wear it over a hoodie or heavy flannel, going up one size is the safer call.

When to size up instead of ordering your usual size

Size up if you want a relaxed, streetwear-style fit, if you plan to wear the hoodie over a thick button-down or another hoodie, or if your chest and shoulders usually fall between two sizes on size charts. The black color and front pouch pocket make it a natural outer layer, and extra room helps the pocket lie flat instead of pulling.

Stick with your usual size if you want a closer fit for wearing under a jacket or if you prefer hoodies that sit near the body. Because the fabric has limited stretch, a too-small size will feel restrictive across the shoulders before it feels tight anywhere else.

Layering tips that keep the hoodie comfortable, not bulky

This hoodie works best as a mid-layer or a light outer layer. For cold days, start with a thin base tee, add the hoodie, then finish with a jacket that has room through the shoulders. Avoid stacking it over another hooded sweatshirt unless you have sized up, because two hoods and two pouch pockets create bulk and restrict movement.

For milder weather, wear it over a short-sleeve tee and leave the jacket at home. The front pouch pocket is useful for hands and small items, but it adds a little thickness at the waist, so keep what you carry light if you want a clean silhouette.

Care that protects the print, the cotton face, and the fit

Wash the hoodie inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle, and turn it inside out before drying on low heat or hanging it to dry. High heat is the main risk to both the cotton face and the printed graphic, and it can also encourage shrinkage in the cotton portion of the blend.

Skip fabric softener and bleach, and avoid ironing directly over the print. If the hoodie needs a touch-up, iron it inside out on a low setting or use a pressing cloth. Following these steps keeps the black fabric from fading and helps the hoodie keep its shape between wears.

Fit, sizing, layering, and care questions answered

Does the Fallout Welcome to New Vegas Hoodie run true to size?

It is designed as a standard fit, so your usual size should work for a regular fit. If you are between sizes or want a looser look, size up one. Check the size chart against your chest measurement before ordering.

Will it shrink after washing?

The polyester content helps reduce shrinkage compared with an all-cotton hoodie, but cotton can still shrink slightly if exposed to high heat. Wash cold and tumble dry low to minimize change. Avoid high heat in the washer and dryer to keep the fit stable.

Can I layer it over a thick shirt or another hoodie?

Yes, but size up if you plan to wear it over a heavy flannel or a hooded sweatshirt. The fabric has limited stretch, so extra room through the shoulders prevents pulling. If layering is your main plan, choose one size larger than your usual fit.

How should I wash and dry it to protect the print?

Turn it inside out, wash cold on a gentle cycle, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron directly over the graphic, and skip bleach and fabric softener. Inside-out washing and low heat are the two habits that matter most.

Is the fabric good for year-round wear?

The cotton-poly blend is a midweight fleece that works well as a standalone layer in mild weather and as a mid-layer in cold weather. It is not a heavyweight winter hoodie, so pair it with a shell or jacket when temperatures drop. Use it as a versatile mid-layer rather than your only cold-weather outer layer.
