You finally got that Survey Corps hoodie you've been eyeing. You unbox it, pull it over your head, and the sleeves are too long, the torso is baggy. Sound familiar? You're not alone. The wrong fit can ruin the look of even the best-designed Attack on Titan hoodie.
That's why I put together this Attack on Titan hoodie sizing guide. After helping hundreds of fans find their perfect size through our store, I've learned exactly what works. Let's get you a fit that would make Levi proud.

Why Proper Sizing Matters for Your AOT Hoodie
A hoodie that fits well doesn't just look better - it feels better and lasts longer. Sleeves that are too long get caught on door handles. A torso that's too short rides up when you raise your arms. Shoulder seams that dig in restrict movement.
I've seen customers return hoodies because they ordered their usual size without checking the specific garment's measurements. Each hoodie style in our Attack on Titan collection has different proportions. The Survey Corps hoodie runs slightly larger for a casual look, while the Levi-inspired hoodie is cut slimmer.
Getting the right size also affects how the print holds up. A hoodie that's too tight might stretch the Survey Corps emblem or the Colossal Titan graphic, cracking the design over time. A good fit protects both you and the artwork.
How to Measure Yourself Like a Scout
You don't need a measuring tape from the Survey Corps - any soft tape will do. Here's the method I recommend:
- Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under your armpits. Keep it snug but not tight.
- Sleeve length: Start from the center of your back at the base of your neck, go across your shoulder, and down to your wrist bone.
- Body length: Measure from the top of your shoulder (where a seam would sit) down to where you want the hem to hit - generally at your hip.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Don't hunch your shoulders or puff out your chest. Stand naturally, arms relaxed at your sides. Measure over a t-shirt or thin layer, not a bulky sweater. Write down the numbers in inches - most of our size charts use inches.
If you're between sizes, consider the style. For a slim-fit hoodie like Levi's, size up if you prefer a looser feel. For an oversized fit like Eren's, your regular size will already be roomy.
Size Chart Comparison Across Attack on Titan Hoodie Styles
I've compared the actual measurements for three popular styles from our store. Note that these are garment measurements, not body measurements - so add a few inches for comfort.
Survey Corps Classic Hoodie (Unisex)
- Small: Chest 38", Length 26", Sleeve 33"
- Medium: Chest 42", Length 27", Sleeve 34"
- Large: Chest 46", Length 28", Sleeve 35"
- X-Large: Chest 50", Length 29", Sleeve 36"
Levi's Black Hoodie (Slim Fit)
- Small: Chest 36", Length 25", Sleeve 32"
- Medium: Chest 40", Length 26", Sleeve 33"
- Large: Chest 44", Length 27", Sleeve 34"
- X-Large: Chest 48", Length 28", Sleeve 35"
Eren's Oversized Hoodie (Relaxed Fit)
- Small: Chest 40", Length 27", Sleeve 34"
- Medium: Chest 44", Length 28", Sleeve 35"
- Large: Chest 48", Length 29", Sleeve 36"
- X-Large: Chest 52", Length 30", Sleeve 37"
As you can see, the same size label (Medium) can mean a 4-inch difference in chest width between Levi's and Eren's hoodie. Always check the specific size chart for the design you're buying.
Character-Inspired Fits: From Levi to Eren
The Attack on Titan hoodie collection is designed with character aesthetics in mind. Here's how each style is supposed to fit:
- Levi's Black Hoodie: True to the Captain himself, this one is tailored and sharp. It sits close to the body with sleeves that end at the wrist. If you're after that clean, efficient look, stay with your regular size.
- Eren's Oversized Hoodie: Loose and comfortable, like Eren's later-season demeanor. The shoulders drop slightly, and the body has room to move. Go with your normal size for the relaxed look, or size down if you want it less baggy.
- Survey Corps Classic: The standard-issue fit - not too tight, not too loose. It's versatile enough for layering over a t-shirt or under a jacket. Most people are happy with their usual size here.
- Titan Shifter Zip-Up: Designed for active wear, this hoodie has a bit of stretch and a closer cut through the waist. Size up if you plan to wear it over thick layers.
Tips for Choosing the Right Size for Your Body Type
For Taller Fans (6'0" and above)
Look for hoodies labeled "tall" or choose the oversized Eren style. The body length on the Eren hoodie runs 2-3 inches longer than comparable sizes in the Classic. Avoid the Levi hoodie if you have a long torso - the crop can be too short.
For Petite or Slim Builds
The Levi's Black Hoodie in XS or S will give you a fitted silhouette without extra bulk. If you prefer a baggier look, try the Survey Corps in your usual size but with shorter sleeves - you can always cuff them. The Titan Shifter Zip-Up also comes in XS.
For Broad Shoulders or Larger Chests
Focus on the chest measurement over the length. The Classic and Eren hoodies have more room in the shoulders. I recommend sizing up in the Classic if you have a 44" chest or more. The Levi hoodie may feel restrictive - go up two sizes if you really want that style.
Caring for Your Hoodie to Maintain the Perfect Fit
A hoodie that's shrunk or stretched is a hoodie you can't wear. Keep that Survey Corps emblem looking crisp with these care steps:
- Wash in cold water - hot water shrinks cotton blends and fades prints. Turn your hoodie inside out to protect the front design.
- Air dry or tumble dry low - high heat will shrink the fabric and ruin the fit. If you must use a dryer, pull it out while slightly damp and lay flat to finish.
- Avoid fabric softener - it breaks down the fibers and can cause pilling. Use a mild detergent instead.
- Store folded, not hung - hanging a heavy hoodie can stretch the shoulders over time. Fold it neatly and keep it in a drawer or on a shelf.
Follow these tips, and your Attack on Titan hoodie will keep its shape through many seasons, just like the Walls.

- The right fit protects the artwork and keeps you comfortable.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size should I get if I'm between sizes?
For slim fits like Levi's, size up. For relaxed fits like Eren's, stick with your regular size - it will already be roomy. When in doubt, choose the larger size, as you can always shrink it slightly with a warm wash.
How do I measure sleeve length correctly?
Start from the center of your back at the base of the neck, go across your shoulder, and down the outside of your arm to your wrist bone. Keep your arm slightly bent. This gives you the total sleeve length for raglan or set-in sleeves.
Are the hoodies pre-shrunk?
Most of our cotton-polyester blend hoodies are pre-shrunk, but some 100% cotton options may shrink up to 5% in the first wash. Follow the care instructions to minimize shrinkage and maintain fit.
Can I return a hoodie that doesn't fit?
Yes, we accept returns on unworn hoodies within 30 days of delivery. Visit our Contact page to start the process. We'll help you exchange for the right size.
Do you have size charts for every hoodie design?
Yes, each product page on our site includes a detailed size chart with chest, length, and sleeve measurements in inches. Always check that chart before ordering, as different styles vary.
