Breathe Divinity Size Guide
Measure yourself, not a hoodie you already own. Everything in this size guide is a body measurement, in inches with the centimetres next to it. One thing worth knowing before you start: most of what the Breathe Divinity shop sells is cut oversized, so your chest number lands differently on a drop-shoulder hoodie than it does on a compression long sleeve.
Hoodies, T-Shirts, Long Sleeves and Tanks
Hoodies, zip hoodies and tees are oversized. The shoulder seam sits down on your arm rather than on the joint. Find your chest in the chart, take that column, and you get the shape the piece was cut for. Size down and it turns out shorter and wider, not slimmer. That one catches people out. Compression tees and long sleeves run the other way. They are built to grip, so take your true chest and expect the sleeves to feel tight for three or four wears before they give.
| Size | S | M | L | XL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chest | 36–38 in (92–97 cm) | 38–40 in (97–102 cm) | 40–43 in (102–109 cm) | 43–46 in (109–117 cm) |
| Waist | 30–32 in (76–81 cm) | 32–34 in (81–86 cm) | 34–37 in (86–94 cm) | 37–40 in (94–102 cm) |
| Garment length | 26¾ in (68 cm) | 27½ in (70 cm) | 28¼ in (72 cm) | 29 in (74 cm) |
| Garment shoulder | 21¼ in (54 cm) | 22½ in (57 cm) | 23½ in (60 cm) | 24¾ in (63 cm) |
The bottom two rows are the garment, laid flat. Not you. They are there so you can put a hoodie you already wear next to the numbers and see where the length and the shoulder actually land.
Sweatpants, Cargo Pants and Leggings
Waist and hip pick the size on sweatpants and cargo pants. The inseam only tells you how much length you will be folding. Both are relaxed through the thigh and the hem is left open. Leggings do not work that way. Four-way stretch makes the waist row the one that counts, and between two sizes the smaller one gives you the support the fabric was built for.
| Size | S | M | L | XL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Waist | 30–32 in (76–81 cm) | 32–34 in (81–86 cm) | 34–37 in (86–94 cm) | 37–40 in (94–102 cm) |
| Hip | 36–38 in (92–97 cm) | 38–40 in (97–102 cm) | 40–43 in (102–109 cm) | 43–46 in (109–117 cm) |
| Inseam | 31 in (79 cm) | 31½ in (80 cm) | 32 in (81 cm) | 32¼ in (82 cm) |
Waist in one column and hip in another? Follow the hip for cargo pants. Follow the waist for leggings. That is the measurement each cut is built around.
Tracksuit Sets
A set is two garments. The chart repeats both halves for that reason. Chest row for the top, waist and hip rows for the bottoms, and order whatever size each half asks for even when the two disagree. Forcing both halves onto the same letter is the usual reason a tracksuit turns up fitting well on top and badly below.
| Size | S | M | L | XL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chest | 36–38 in (92–97 cm) | 38–40 in (97–102 cm) | 40–43 in (102–109 cm) | 43–46 in (109–117 cm) |
| Waist | 30–32 in (76–81 cm) | 32–34 in (81–86 cm) | 34–37 in (86–94 cm) | 37–40 in (94–102 cm) |
| Hip | 36–38 in (92–97 cm) | 38–40 in (97–102 cm) | 40–43 in (102–109 cm) | 43–46 in (109–117 cm) |
| Inseam | 31 in (79 cm) | 31½ in (80 cm) | 32 in (81 cm) | 32¼ in (82 cm) |
Ordering two sizes to try at home is fine. Whichever half misses goes back under the normal size exchange terms, so nothing about this size guide has to be a guess you are stuck with.
How to Measure Yourself
A soft tape and two minutes. Stand up straight, feet together, arms down. Keep the tape level the whole way round, because it likes to sag at the back.
- Chest: widest point, tape under both arms, level across your shoulder blades.
- Waist: the narrowest part of your torso. Usually an inch above the navel, not down at your belt.
- Hip: widest point of your seat, feet together, tape parallel to the floor.
- Inseam: top of the inner thigh straight down to the ankle bone, on a leg you are keeping straight.
Three Things That Change the Number
- Measure in the underwear you would normally wear. Never over a hoodie.
- Snug, not tight. One finger should slide under the tape.
- Get someone else to do your chest if you can, since reaching round yourself drags the tape up at the back.
Size Guide Questions
I Am Between Two Sizes. Which One?
Oversized hoodie or tee, go up. The volume is already cut in, so the smaller size reads cropped rather than fitted. Compression pieces and leggings, go down. The fabric does the fitting there, and a loose compression layer is not doing anything.
Will a Hoodie Shrink in the Wash?
Cotton fleece moves a little on a hot first cycle. That is one of the reasons to wash cold. Keep it out of the dryer and it holds the length in the chart. Washing and drying a printed piece covers the rest.
Is the Sizing Unisex?
Yes. Same cut, same chart, everyone. What changes is where it lands. A size L hoodie that sits at the hip on one person hangs lower on the next, and that is what the garment length row is for.
What If I Still Get It Wrong?
Unworn, tags on, send it back for another size. Start the exchange inside the return window and the size you want is held while it travels.
Still Deciding
Each product page lists the fit, the weight and the fabric for that piece. Usually that settles it.
