Complete Guide Overview
Finding the right hoodie size can be a pain, especially when you're ordering online. With Berserk's Premium Hoodie, you want a fit that looks sharp and feels comfortable - not too tight, not swimming on you. This guide breaks down everything you need to know to nail your size, based on feedback from the Berserk community and the official size chart. Whether you're grabbing your first piece of fan-merch or adding to your collection, we've got you covered.
How to Choose
Measuring Yourself
Grab a soft tape measure and a friend (or a mirror). For the most accurate fit, measure:
- Chest: Wrap the tape under your armpits, around the fullest part of your chest. Keep it snug but not tight.
- Length: From the highest point of your shoulder (where the hoodie seam sits) straight down to where you want the hem to hit.
- Sleeve: From the center of your back at the base of your neck, across your shoulder, and down to your wrist bone.
Write down those numbers in inches, then compare them to the size chart below.
Understanding Berserk's Fit
Berserk's Premium Hoodie is designed with a modern, slightly relaxed fit. The 320gsm fleece is heavyweight but has a brushed interior that gives it a soft drape - so it won't feel stiff or boxy. Most fans find that it fits true to size if they prefer a standard look. If you like a baggier, street-style vibe, going up one size works great.

| L | 42-44 | 28 | 35 |

Measurements are approximate and may vary slightly by production batch.
Choosing Based on Preference
- Tight/athletic fit: Stick with your exact chest measurement from the chart. The hoodie will hug your frame without restricting movement.
- Standard/everyday fit: Choose the chest size that matches your measurement. This gives you a comfortable, classic silhouette.
- Oversized/streetwear fit: Go one size up from your chest measurement. This creates a relaxed drop-shoulder look popular in the fan-merch community.
Sizing Compared to Other Berserk Merch
If you already own a Berserk Classic T-Shirt or Polos, note that the hoodie runs slightly larger in the chest but shorter in length compared to the t-shirt. For example, a size L Classic T-Shirt fits a 42-44 chest, same as the hoodie, but the hoodie has a more generous shoulder. The Tank Top is much more fitted, so don't use it as a size reference.
