Men's Sweatshirt Size Chart (S–3XL, Chest & Length)
A men's sweatshirt is sized mainly by chest, with body length as the second factor. This chart covers S to 3XL in inches and cm, plus how regular and oversized fits change what to buy — so your crewneck or pullover sits right.

Notes
Size by chest first. Measure around the fullest part of your chest and match it to the chart. Chest is the primary driver; body length is the secondary check for how long the sweatshirt sits on your torso.
Regular vs oversized changes the pick. For a classic fit, buy your true chest size. For the popular oversized/streetwear look, size up one — but check the body length so it doesn't sit too long on shorter frames.
Fabric matters. Heavy cotton fleece shrinks slightly on first wash and has little stretch, so don't size down for a snug fit. Cotton-blend and French terry hold their size better.
