Garment measurements (laid flat)

Compare these with a hoodie you already own and love. Lay it flat and measure:

  • Length: from the highest point of the shoulder, beside the collar, down to the hem.
  • Width: straight across the chest, from one side seam to the other (double this for the full circumference).
  • Sleeve: from the centre back of the collar, along the shoulder seam and down to the cuff.
Size Length Width (half chest) Sleeve length
S 27 in / 69 cm 20 in / 51 cm 33.5 in / 85 cm
M 28 in / 71 cm 22 in / 56 cm 34.5 in / 88 cm
L 29 in / 74 cm 24 in / 61 cm 35.5 in / 90 cm
XL 30 in / 76 cm 26 in / 66 cm 36.5 in / 93 cm
2XL 31 in / 79 cm 28 in / 71 cm 37.5 in / 95 cm

Printful notes that measurements are provided by the supplier and can vary by up to 2 inches (5 cm).

Fit tips

  • Unisex sizing is roughly equivalent to men's sizing. Many women find their usual size gives a relaxed fit, or one size down a closer fit.
  • Between sizes? Size up for a cosy, oversized look (perfect over a jumper on a cold walk), or stay true to size for a classic fit.
  • The fabric is 50% pre-shrunk cotton and 50% polyester, with ribbed cuffs and waistband, a double-lined hood and a front pouch pocket (ideal for treats).
  • Washing it cold and hanging it to dry helps keep its shape. See our Care Guide.

Wrong size?

Because each hoodie is printed with your dog's name, we can't exchange it for a change of mind or the wrong size, so please check the chart before ordering. If it arrives faulty or not as described, we'll always put it right. See our returns policy, or email hello@waggleandink.co.uk if you'd like help choosing.
