Understanding Post Malone Hoodie Styles
Not all Post Malone hoodies are cut the same. The brand releases several fits depending on the collection. Knowing which style you’re buying is half the battle.
Relaxed Fit Hoodies
These are the most common in the core lineup. They have a traditional, roomy cut with a bit of extra space through the chest and body. The fabric is usually a heavyweight 8 oz cotton-polyester blend, which gives structure without being stiff. If you prefer a classic, not-too-tight, not-too-baggy look, this is your go-to.Oversized / Dropped Shoulder Hoodies
Some limited drops and artist collabs use an oversized silhouette with dropped shoulders and a longer hem. These intentionally fit loose. In my experience designing similar pieces, sizing down one or even two sizes can give you a more tailored look if you don't want the full baggy vibe. But if you love that relaxed, streetwear feel, stick with your usual size.Pre-Shrunk vs. Raw Cotton
A few fan-favorite designs use raw, unwashed cotton that can shrink 2-3% on the first wash. Others are garment-washed and pre-shrunk. Check the product description - if it says “pre-shrunk,” you’re safe to order your normal size. If not, consider sizing up to account for shrinkage.Measuring Yourself for the Perfect Fit
Forget guessing based on your t-shirt size. Grab a flexible measuring tape and a friend (or a mirror). Here’s how to get accurate numbers.
Chest
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, just under your armpits. Keep it level and snug but not tight. Breathe normally - don’t puff out your chest. Write down that number.Sleeve Length
Start from the center of your back, at the base of your neck. Run the tape over your shoulder, down your arm, and stop at your wrist bone. This is the measurement most hoodie size charts use for sleeves. It accounts for the hoodie’s shoulder seam placement.Body Length
Measure from the highest point on your shoulder (near your neck) straight down to where you want the hem to hit on your hip. For hoodies, typical lengths end around the mid-hip or lower for oversized fits.Shoulder Width
Measure from the edge of one shoulder to the edge of the other, across your back. This helps if you have broader shoulders and need a size that doesn’t pull across the back.Once you have these numbers, compare them directly to the hoodie’s size chart (not your body measurements). That chart tells you the actual garment dimensions.

How to Read the Chart
If your chest measures 42 inches and you want a relaxed fit, choose Medium (chest 40-42). For a looser fit, go Large (chest 44-46). For a slimmer fit, the Medium will be right at your measurement. Remember to factor in shrinkage if the hoodie isn’t pre-shrunk.Tips for Choosing Between Sizes
I’ve consulted with fans who’ve bought multiple sizes. Here’s what they wish they knew.
If You’re Between Sizes
Always go up. You can layer under a slightly larger hoodie, but a too-small one will be unwearable. For example, if your chest is 43 inches (between M and L), choosing Large gives you room to breathe and a comfortable fit.Consider Your Body Shape
- Broad shoulders? Size up for mobility.
- Tall torso? Look for hoodies with extra body length (check the chart) or choose sizes known for longer cuts.
- Prefer layering? Add 2 inches to your chest measurement before comparing to the chart.
Wash and Care
Most cotton-blend hoodies shrink a bit, even pre-shrunk ones. Wash in cold water and tumble dry low to minimize changes. If you’re risk-averse, order one size up and shrink down if needed.Trust the Style Description
Oversized drops often run about 4-6 inches larger in the chest than the standard chart. If you’re between standard sizes and want a normal fit, size down for those releases. When in doubt, read reviews from other buyers for that specific hoodie.Frequently Asked Questions

For a relaxed fit, start with Medium. If you prefer a roomier, more casual look, go with Large. Check the chest and length measurements against your own.Do Post Malone hoodies shrink?
Some do. Unwashed cotton can shrink 2-3% on the first wash. Pre-shrunk styles are more stable. Always check the product description and wash in cold water to minimize shrinkage.Are the hoodies true to size?
