Ordering streetwear online often leads to frustrating guessing games. A Medium from one brand fits like a tent, while a Medium from another runs skin-tight. Understanding exact garment dimensions, silhouette cuts, and fabric shrinkage keeps you from dealing with inconvenient returns.
If you are exploring our full collection and need complete context on garment weights, check out our comprehensive peace in war apparel guide.
This comprehensive sizing breakdown explains our boxy cuts, dropped shoulder patterns, fabric shrinkage traits, and chest measurements. We will guide you directly to your ideal fit for both hoodies and graphic tees.
Our garments do not follow slim or standard athletic sizing cuts. We design every top using a boxy urban profile that emphasizes structure over cling.
This signature silhouette features lowered armholes, dropped shoulder seams, and extra room across the chest panel. Instead of hanging straight down like a cylindrical tube, the garment drapes loosely across your shoulders before tapering slightly near the waistband ribbing.
For example, our 400 GSM fleece pullovers include an extra two inches of chest ease compared to standard commercial hoodies. This design choice maintains an architectural shape even when layered over heavy tees.
Taking accurate measurements of your favorite fitting shirt at home is the most reliable way to select your size. Lay your best-fitting tee flat on a table, then measure across the front from armpit seam to armpit seam.
Match your pit-to-pit inches against our master chart below to select your desired drape.
| Size | Chest Pit-to-Pit (Inches) | Body Length (Inches) | Sleeve Length (Inches) | Recommended Height / Weight |
| Small | 22.0 in | 27.5 in | 24.5 in | 5’4″ – 5’7″ (130 – 150 lbs) |
| Medium | 24.0 in | 28.5 in | 25.5 in | 5’8″ – 5’11” (155 – 175 lbs) |
| Large | 26.0 in | 29.5 in | 26.5 in | 6’0″ – 6’2″ (180 – 200 lbs) |
| X-Large | 28.0 in | 30.5 in | 27.0 in | 6’2″ – 6’4″ (205 – 225 lbs) |
| XX-Large | 30.0 in | 31.5 in | 27.5 in | 6’4″+ (230+ lbs) |
If you fall between two sizes, choose the smaller size for a classic, slightly relaxed street fit. Choose the larger size if you prefer a pronounced oversized drape for heavy layering.
If you are planning to pair your tops with outerwear or layer them under jackets, review our guide on how to style peace in war streetwear for visual outfit breakdowns.
Every item in our collection uses a relaxed unisex pattern. Because traditional women’s clothing features narrower shoulders and tailored waistlines, female shoppers should adjust their sizing choices based on style preference.
Women seeking a relaxed, everyday fit should order one full size down from their standard women’s sizing. For instance, if you normally wear a Women’s Medium, select a Small in our collection for a clean, slightly roomy look.
If you want an exaggerated, oversized streetwear aesthetic that pairs effortlessly over bike shorts or leggings, stick with your true women’s size.
Understanding how pure cotton behaves during washing prevents unwanted sizing changes. We craft our tees from 240 GSM combed cotton and our pullovers from 400 GSM ring-spun fleece.
We pre-shrink all fabric rolls during manufacturing to lock in structural stability. However, pure cotton fibers still contract slightly under intense heat. Washing garments in hot water or drying them on high heat cycles can cause a 2% to 3% vertical contraction along the body length.
Width remains virtually unchanged due to tight side-seam weaving. To maintain original chest and length dimensions, always wash your clothes in cold water and hang them to air dry.
To protect fabric fibers and graphic prints across dozens of wash cycles, read our full garment care recommendations for thorough laundering steps.
While both item categories follow our boxy cut philosophy, fleece pullovers and cotton tees drape differently on the body due to their fabric weights.
Our hoodies, such as the Peace In War “F*ck The Industry” Hoodie, use thick 400 GSM fleece. This heavy fabric creates natural volume. Sleeve lengths are tailored 1.5 inches longer than standard hoodies, creating clean fabric stacking along the wrist cuffs without swallowing your hands.
In contrast, our 240 GSM graphic tees offer a smoother drop straight down from the shoulder line. The thick 1.25-inch ribbed collar sits high on the neck, maintaining a structured baseline that keeps tees from looking sloppy under unzipped hoodies.
While our boxy cuts flatter most body types, our sizing approach has clear boundaries that buyers should consider before purchasing.
To find your perfect fit, grab a tape measure and check the pit-to-pit width of your favorite tee. Compare that number to our master size chart.
If you want our signature streetwear look, order your true size. If you prefer a closer, traditional fit, simply size down one full size.
