hit with me

Hi,

GRAYDON CARTER, EDITOR IN CHIEF, VANITY FAIR

A dozen or so years ago, I came across a Paul Smith knit shirt that just sort of hit with me. It was dark blue with long sleeves, and it had a slightly old-fashioned rolled collar. The three buttons in front were small, light blue enameled half-globes with penguins in them. I thought it might be the sort of shirt I could wear for years and went back to the shop on lower Fifth to get a few more, but they had nothing in my size.

What does "hit with" mean in the above?

knit shirt that just sort of hit with me. = connected with me, touched me, inspired me, spoke to me.

Hip-hop talk for saying he saw that shirt and he knew it was just right for him.
