Hoodie Size Guide for Pakistan: From S to 4XL

Ordering a hoodie online is easy. Getting the right size is the hard part, because a “3XL” from one store can fit like an XXL from another. This guide shows you how to measure yourself, read the size chart, and choose between regular and oversized fit.

The short answer: measure your chest, compare it with the chart below, and choose your usual size for a regular fit or one size up for an oversized look. Always trust the measurements, not the size label.

How to measure yourself

You only need a soft measuring tape and about two minutes.

  1. Chest: wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms, keeping it level and snug but not tight.
  2. Length: measure from the highest point of your shoulder, next to the neck, down to where you want the hoodie to end.
  3. Sleeve: measure from the shoulder seam to your wrist bone, with your arm slightly bent.
  4. Best shortcut: lay your favourite hoodie flat and measure it across the chest (armpit to armpit). Compare it with the chart below.

Regular fit vs oversized fit

Regular fitPick the size that matches your chest measurementClean, close to the body

OversizedGo one size upRoomy, dropped shoulders, streetwear look

If you plan to wear a thermal or a thick sweater underneath, choose one size up.

Plus size guide: XXL, XXXL and 4XL

Larger sizes need more than a longer body. Check these three things:

  • Chest width. It should have 3 to 4 inches of room over your chest measurement for comfort.
  • Length. Make sure the hoodie covers your waistline when you lift your arms.
  • Sleeve and armhole. A tight armhole makes a big hoodie feel small.

At HB Fashion, our XXL, XXXL and 4XL hoodies are cut with extra room in the chest and body, not just extra length.

Size recommendations by height and weight

This is a rough guide for a regular fit. Chest measurement is more accurate.

HeightWeightSuggested size
5’4″-5’7″55-65 kgS to M
5’6″-5’9″65-78 kgM to L
5’8″-5’11”78-90 kgL to XL
5’8″-6’0″90-105 kgXXL
5’9″-6’1″105-120 kgXXXL
5’9″-6’2″120 kg and above4XL

Build matters as much as weight. If you carry weight around your stomach, choose the size by your chest and waist measurement, not height.

Sizing tips for women

Women can order the same hoodies, because our fit is unisex. For a fitted look, choose your usual size. For an oversized look, go one size up. For women, shoulders and sleeve length usually decide the fit more than the chest.

Sizing for custom orders

Custom orders are made specially for you, so sizes cannot usually be exchanged. Measure carefully, check the chart, and ask for help on WhatsApp before you confirm. Send us your height and weight, and we will suggest a size.
