Quick answer
Both Warhammer 40,000 Battleworn Sweatshirts share the same unisex sizing chart. To get the best fit, take your chest measurement and compare it to the size guide; the fabric is a soft 280gsm cotton-polyester blend that offers minimal stretch, so choose your usual size for a relaxed look or size up for extra room.
Why sizing matters for these sweatshirts
The Blood Angels and Tyranids Battleworn Insignia Sweatshirts are made from an 80% ringspun cotton, 20% polyester blend (280gsm). This fabric is super soft but has very little stretch compared to a jersey knit. If you order a size that is too small, the sweatshirt will feel restrictive; too large, and the digitally printed design may sit awkwardly on your shoulders.
Since both models use the exact same blank and size chart, your fit decision comes down to personal preference—not the faction. The sizing runs true to typical unisex sweatshirt standards, but the lack of elastane means you should rely on chest measurements rather than your usual t-shirt size.
How to find your size in 4 steps
- Measure your chest: Wrap a soft tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it level under your armpits and across your shoulder blades. Breathe normally and record the measurement in inches or centimeters. Common mistake: measuring over a thick sweater adds 1–2 inches and leads to a baggy fit. Measure against bare skin or a thin t-shirt.
- Compare with the size chart: Open the product page size guide (usually a link near the size selector). Match your chest measurement to the nearest size. If you land between two sizes, choose the larger one for a relaxed fit or the smaller for a trim look. Checkpoint: the chart uses body measurements, not garment dimensions. Do not add extra inches for 'ease'—the chart already accounts for that.
- Decide on your preferred fit: For a classic sweatshirt silhouette that layers easily over a t-shirt, order your usual size. For a looser, more casual fit or if you plan to wear a hoodie underneath, go one size up. Common mistake: assuming the 280gsm fabric will stretch. It won't—so if you like a snug feel, still stick with your regular size.
- Check the care label before washing: Machine wash cold inside out with like colours. Do not bleach, dry clean, tumble dry, or iron. The digital print can crack if exposed to high heat or harsh agitation. Checkpoint: washing inside out protects the design. Skip the dryer to prevent shrinkage that could alter the fit permanently.
