Essentials hoodie sizing: how oversized is oversized?
Short answer: an Essentials hoodie is roughly one full size bigger than a regular-fit hoodie. A size M measures about 65 cm across the chest laid flat (pit to pit), where a typical regular-fit M is around 55 cm. Fear of God Essentials runs big on purpose: the relaxed fit is the look, but most people still want it to sit right on the shoulders.
What size Essentials hoodie should I get?
- Want it like the lookbook: take your usual size.
- Want a cleaner fit: go one size down.
- Between sizes: size down.

Wash cold, inside out, hang dry. The rubberised logo does not like the tumble dryer.
