Wolf sweatshirt guide

Updated 9 August 2026

Two garments carry the same drawing at Lonewolf: the hooded sweatshirt and the crewneck sweatshirt. They are not interchangeable — not in price, not in use, not in how they hang. Here is what really sets them apart, with the measurements and the sizes actually sold.

Hood or crewneck: what changes

The hooded sweatshirt is made of cotton and polyester blend fleece, with a lined hood and matching drawcord, a kangaroo pocket, and ribbed cuffs and waistband. Black unisex fit, from S to 5XL. The volume of the hood and the front pocket add fabric at the front: the garment makes more of a statement, and is best worn on its own.

The crewneck sweatshirt costs less than the hoodie, in every size. Fleece of 50% cotton, 50% polyester, crew neck, black unisex fit, also from S to 5XL. With no hood and no pocket, the silhouette is cleaner: it slips under a jacket or coat without bulking up around the neck. It is also the only one of the two you can wear to the office without a second thought.

On both, the design is printed large on the back, in white line art, with the Lonewolf logo on the left chest. Nothing on the front, nothing that shouts.

Which size to choose

The measurements below are for the garment laid flat, taken from the manufacturer's spec sheets and converted to centimetres. They are not body measurements. The safest test: lay out a sweatshirt you already wear, measure its width from one armhole seam to the other, and compare with the “chest” column.

The size guide is also available from every product page, for the hoodie as well as the crewneck.

Two useful pointers. A hoodie is wider and shorter than a t-shirt of the same size: in L, 61 cm across the chest against 55.9 cm for the t-shirt, and 73.7 cm long against 76.2 cm. So don't just pick your usual t-shirt size. And if you are between two sizes, go for the larger one — especially if you plan to wear something underneath in winter.

Which design on the back

Six drawings, all in white line art. The choice comes down to how far away you want people to be able to read them.

The easiest to read from a distance: the Wolf Head hoodie, a symmetrical head seen from the front — the founding design, found across the whole Wolf Head collection — and the Wolf Profile. The Howling Moon hoodie adds the disc of the moon behind the howling silhouette: it tells the most story of the seven.

The most discreet: the Geometric Wolf, a head built from straight lines — see the Geometric Wolf collection — and Constellation, drawn as connected dots. On the back of a sweatshirt, these two pass for an abstract pattern until someone comes closer.

That leaves North Compass, the compass rose — the widest design, and so the one that fills the back of a sweatshirt best. Forest, the edge of a wood, does not come as a sweatshirt: its branches, drawn in a line too fine for fleece, are worn as a long-sleeve tee.

Washing, delivery, returns

Wash it inside out, at 30 °C: the print goes directly onto the fabric, and it is the design rubbing against the drum that wears it. We won't promise you a guaranteed number of washes — that figure, we don't have.

The sweatshirts are printed in Germany, to order. Allow 3 to 5 working days for production, then transit: 5 to 12 working days in total to France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Austria and the Netherlands. Tracked delivery costs €4.90 per order, however many items it contains. Since nothing is held in stock, a size is never out of stock. You have 14 days after receipt to withdraw without giving a reason, return costs at your expense; if there is a printing defect, report it within 30 days with a photo: we reprint or refund, with no need to send it back.

In two lines

• You want the warmest, cosiest garment: hooded sweatshirt, from S to 5XL.
• You want to wear the design under a jacket, or spend a little less: crewneck sweatshirt, from S to 5XL.

And if you are after the same drawing in something lighter, it also comes as a t-shirt.
