Should I choose a snug size for this sweatshirt?
Thinking that sweatshirts are meant to be worn loosely, some readers might try to add one size up, but pause to reconsider after seeing the wearing instructions written in the description.

It is on the side of wearing it snugly — it guides that wearing it tightly and stretching it out as you wear it suits this garment[1].
Faded means an expression that looks discolored and washed out. This means it is a garment made from the start to look as though it has already been worn for a long time, rather than in a sharp, brand-new condition.
That is why size selection also becomes a crossroads. Whether to wear it loosely from the beginning, or to wear it close to the body and stretch it out over time — the brand recommends the latter. They guide that wearing it tightly and stretching it out as you wear it suits the faded design[2]. Because cotton sweatshirts stretch little by little in the shoulders, sleeves, and body through repeated wearing and washing, starting with a generous size makes it easy for it to become a garment larger than originally expected later on.
hmmm, this single line is closer to postponing the point when the garment is complete rather than a size guide — the color is already faded, and the width and length are left as the wearer's share to shape over time.
The recommended size, actual measured dimensions, and how much it stretches after wearing have not been confirmed yet.
