04What the Breakaway spec means
The Breakaway build is the supporter-grade version of the Washington Capitals home shirt: the same Red look the squad wears, cut for everyday wear rather than on-pitch use.
05How to Pick Your Washington Capitals Jersey Size
1Start with the size chart on this page
The chart on this page lists chest and length for every Breakaway size in this Red colourway.
2Compare with a shirt you own
Lay your current Washington Capitals top flat and match the measurements. Two numbers beat one guess.
3Mind the layering margin
Adding a hoodie or base layer underneath? Go one size up. Solo wear stays true to size.
4Double-check youth conversions
If you are buying for a young supporter, convert by chest measurement, not by age.
06Why Washington Capitals Supporters Pick This One
- ▪Ventilated mesh keeps the shirt light through ninety minutes
- ▪Breakaway construction with reinforced shoulder seams
- ▪Nameplate space for a custom name and number
- ▪Short Sleeve cut with room to layer over a base layer
7Cut and Layering
A short-sleeve profile with enough room through the chest to sit over a base layer, making the Washington Capitals jersey a true three-season piece.
8Everyday Wearability
The Breakaway build is lighter than it looks, which is what makes the Red Washington Capitals shirt easy to wear away from matchday.
09How to Wear the Washington Capitals Red Jersey
Layer the Washington Capitals Breakaway shirt over a long-sleeve tee when the evening turns cold - the short-sleeve cut has room for it.
