How to Choose Your Hoodie Size
Choose your size by comparing a garment you already wear comfortably with the measurements for the specific product. A size letter alone does not tell you how two different garments will fit.
How to measure
- Lay a similar garment flat without stretching it.
- Measure the width across the chest from side to side. This is a flat garment width, not your body’s chest circumference.
- Measure the length from the highest shoulder point beside the neckline to the hem.
- Compare both measurements with the product’s chart. Choose the dimensions that give you the room and length you prefer.
Use the chart in the product description for your exact style. Choose size and colour using the selectors beside the product price. On the product page, read the Size guide table in the Details/description section; the Options tab may contain other information. The tables below are reference charts and do not mean every product is offered in every listed size.

| L | 73 | 61 |
| XL | 76 | 65 |

Choosing room for layers
Measure a hoodie that already fits comfortably over your usual T-shirt. For a closer fit, compare it with a garment you like worn on its own. For more room, compare it with one you already enjoy wearing over layers. Check length as well as width: moving up a size changes both.
Should I size up?
Compare measurements first. For example, the standard pullover’s medium is 70 cm long and 56 cm wide laid flat; its large is 73 cm long and 61 cm wide. The large adds 5 cm of flat width and 3 cm of length. Whether that suits you depends on the garment you are comparing and the room you want.
If a product has no measurements, contact sales@celticwolfwear.com with its name and your preferred size before ordering.
Standard and oversized hoodies
An oversized style has its own cut and measurements. Do not use the standard charts above to choose an oversized hoodie, or assume that selecting a larger standard size will give the same shape. Follow the exact product’s chart. If measurements are missing, ask us before ordering.
