Peanut Shell™ Sizing
The correct fit of the Peanut Shell ™ pouch should feel pretty snug. If you are new to sling wearing you may even think it is too small! With the right size and with your baby inside the pouch it will rest in line with (or above) your hip bones. Keep in mind that the "correct" size is what works for you and your baby. Most people can wear 2 different sizes-as you can in clothes.
To find your size take your chest measurement (above your bust right under your armpits) and shoulder to hip measurement (across from one shoulder to the opposite hip bone) to determine the right size for you. When taking both measurements give yourself a couple inches of wiggle room for added measure. The chart opposite will help you find your size.
Consider your height and torso length as well when ordering. If you have a long torso, you might want to order a larger size. If your torso is shorter, consider a smaller size. Your Peanut Shell™ size will most likely be what your fitted t-shirt size would be.
Most men like a little more room and comfortably wear a large Peanut Shell™ pouch. E-mail us with your jacket size if you are still unsure what size to wear.
Please note that the stretchy fabrics are cut smaller to account for the stretch. Some people however can actually still go down a size in the microfleece. So if you are ordering a microfleece and fall between sizes, consider ordering the smaller size.

Microfleece
Lightweight version of normal fleece, still very soft but not as bulky. It is a high-quality anti-pill fabric. It is fantastic for the cooler months but is also great for summer as the fabric is very breathable and wicks away any excess moisture. Because the Microfleece is supper comfortable and stretchable, it is our first-pick for any newborn or pouch-novice!

Stretch Cotton (Single Layer)
The fabric is lightweight and breathable and achieves its comfy-stretchy factor with its fabric blend of 97% Cotton and 3% Lycra. The stretch cotton pouches come with a minimum amount of leg padding to help pad behind baby's leg when in the hip carry position.
