Getting the right hoodie size starts with knowing your chest and body measurements, not just your usual letter size. Fear of God Essentials hoodies run oversized by design, so understanding how the fit works before you order helps you land on a size you will actually want to wear.

How to Measure

Chest: measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level under your arms. Shoulder: measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across your back. Sleeve: measure from the shoulder seam down to your wrist. Body length: measure from the highest point of your shoulder down to where you want the hem to sit

How to Choose Your Size

Compare your chest measurement against the size chart first, since chest width has the biggest effect on how the hoodie sits. If you fall between two sizes, size down for a fit closer to your body, or size up for extra room to layer underneath. Shoulder and sleeve measurements matter most if you want the dropped shoulder seam to sit at a specific point on your arm rather than further down.

Fit Notes

This hoodie uses a relaxed, oversized fit with dropped shoulders, so it will run larger than a standard fitted hoodie in the same labeled size. If you usually wear a slim or true-to-size hoodie elsewhere, expect noticeably more room through the chest and body here. Fit can also vary slightly between different hoodie styles within the same product line, so always check the specific size chart attached to the item you are ordering rather than relying on a size you have worn in a different style.
