Complete Guide Overview
Finding the right hoodie size shouldn't be a guessing game. Whether you're ordering your first piece from the official Pagans store or adding to your collection, this sizing guide walks you through everything you need to know to get that perfect fit. The Pagans Premium Hoodie is built with heavyweight 320gsm fleece (80% cotton, 20% polyester) and a brushed interior for comfort that lasts. But that comfort only works if the size is right.
This guide covers how to measure yourself, what to expect from the fit of our hoodie, and where to grab yours. We'll also answer the most common sizing questions so you can order with confidence.
How to Choose
Measure Your Chest and Length
Grab a soft measuring tape. For chest, wrap it around the fullest part of your chest, just under your arms. Keep the tape snug but not tight. For length, measure from the top of your shoulder (near the neck) down to where you want the hem to hit. Most people prefer the hoodie to end around the hip bone.
Compare your numbers to the size chart on the product page. Our Pagans Premium Hoodie is designed with a relaxed, street-ready fit - not too baggy, not too slim. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing down for a more tailored look or sizing up for extra room (especially if you plan to layer over a tee or light jacket).
Consider Your Body Type and Preferences
- Athletic build: If you have broader shoulders and a narrower waist, the relaxed cut should fit well. Look for a size that matches your chest measurement - the hoodie has enough room through the body without being boxy.
- Tall or long torso: The Premium Hoodie has a standard length. If you're over 6'2", consider sizing up for extra length. The ribbed cuffs and hem help keep the fit secure even with a larger size.
- Layering: If you plan to wear it over a hoodie (double hoodie) or a thick sweater, go up one size. The 320gsm fleece is substantial, so it won't cling.
Fit Check: What to Expect
Our hoodie is pre-shrunk, but like any quality cotton garment, it may shrink slightly in the first wash. We suggest washing cold and tumble drying low to preserve the fit. The brushed interior stays soft without pilling.
- Sleeve length: The raglan sleeves allow natural movement. Sleeves should end at your wrist bone when arms are down. If they bunch up, size down; if they ride up, size up.
- Hood: The hood is generously sized to fit over a hat or headphones without feeling tight. It sits well on most head shapes.
- Overall silhouette: The hoodie has a modern drop-shoulder look, giving it a relaxed vibe that works for lounging or going out.

Where to Buy Official Merch
You can only get the authentic Pagans Premium Hoodie from the official Pagans store. That's where you'll find the full range of sizes (S to 2XL) and the exact same quality that the community trusts. Avoid third-party sellers - they can't guarantee the 80/20 cotton-poly blend or the 320gsm fleece weight.
If the hoodie isn't quite your style, explore the full collection. The Pagans Classic T-Shirt ($24.99) offers a similar heavy cotton feel in a lighter weight. The Pagans Polo Shirt ($34.99) adds a cleaner look for fan gatherings, and the Pagans Tank Top ($19.99) is perfect for warmer days. All are designed with the same attention to fit and durability.
For more sizing details on any item, each product page has a dedicated size chart. Our customer service team can also help if you have questions - just reach out via the store's contact form.
FAQ
Q: How do I measure my chest for the Pagans Premium Hoodie? A: Wrap a measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, just under your armpits. Keep it parallel to the floor and snug. Round up to the nearest inch. Compare to the size chart. If your measurement falls between sizes, consider your preferred fit (slim vs roomy).
Q: Will the hoodie shrink after washing? A: The fabric is pre-shrunk to minimize shrinkage, but some minor shrinkage (2-3%) can occur in the first wash. We recommend washing cold and drying on low heat. Avoid high heat to preserve the fit.
Q: Can I exchange my hoodie if the size doesn't work? A: Yes, the official Pagans store offers free exchanges for US orders within 30 days of purchase. The item must be unworn and unwashed. International exchanges are also accepted, but you pay return shipping.
Q: What size should I get if I'm 6'2" and 180 lbs? A: For a standard fit, go with L. For extra length in the body and sleeves, choose XL. The hoodie's drop shoulder keeps the look relaxed either way. If you have a longer torso, XL may be more comfortable.
Q: Are the sleeves long enough for tall people? A: The raglan sleeves provide good range of motion. For someone over 6' tall, XL or 2XL will give the best sleeve length. The cuffs are ribbed and snug, so they won't slide up. - -
