Most sizing advice tells you to buy your usual size. With Full Send hoodies, that's often the wrong move. The brand's distinctive oversized cut and heavyweight fleece change how these hoodies fit compared to standard streetwear. In this guide, you'll learn exactly how Full Send hoodies measure up, how to pick the right size using real numbers, and what the community has discovered through trial and error. By the end, you will confidently order the correct size every time without the hassle of exchanges.
How Full Send Hoodies Fit: A General Overview
Full Send hoodies are designed with a relaxed, boxy silhouette that prioritizes comfort over a trim fit. The shoulders are slightly dropped, the chest is roomy, and the sleeves are full-length with a generous opening. The length hits at the hip or slightly below, depending on size.
The Oversized Intent
The brand deliberately cuts these hoodies loose. If you want a fitted look, size down. If you prefer the classic streetwear vibe with room to layer underneath, stick with your regular size or even size up. For reference, a size M Full Send hoodie has a chest width of about 54 cm (21.25 inches) and a length of 68 cm (26.75 inches) - that's wider and shorter than most standard Medium hoodies.The Fabric Factor
The hoodies use a 400 GSM (grams per square meter) cotton-polyester blend fleece. That heavy weight means they don't drape as loosely as a thin sweatshirt. The fabric holds its shape, so a size that's too tight will feel restrictive, while one that's too large can look bulky. The shrinkage is minimal - about 1-2% after the first wash if you follow care instructions (cold wash, low heat dry).Full Send Hoodie Size Chart and Measurements
To get your perfect fit, you need actual inch or centimeter measurements. Here's the official Full Send hoodie size chart based on the current 2026 production run (note: sizing may vary slightly between seasonal drops, so always check the product page).
| Size | Chest Width (cm) | Chest Width (in) | Body Length (cm) | Body Length (in) | Sleeve Length (cm) | Sleeve Length (in) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 48 | 18.9 | 63 | 24.8 | 83 | 32.7 |
| S | 51 | 20.1 | 66 | 26.0 | 86 | 33.9 |
| M | 54 | 21.3 | 69 | 27.2 | 89 | 35.0 |
| L | 57 | 22.4 | 72 | 28.3 | 92 | 36.2 |
| XL | 60 | 23.6 | 75 | 29.5 | 95 | 37.4 |
| 2XL | 64 | 25.2 | 78 | 30.7 | 98 | 38.6 |

How to Measure Yourself
1. Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under your armpits, keeping the tape horizontal. 2. Body Length: From the highest point of your shoulder (next to your neck) down to where you want the hem to hit. 3. Sleeve: From the center of the back of your neck, across your shoulder, and down to your wrist bone.Pro tip: Compare your chest measurement to the chest width on the chart. Add 3-5 cm (1.2-2 inches) for a relaxed fit, or 6-10 cm for an oversized look. For example, if your chest is 100 cm (39 in), size L gives you a comfortable fit (57 cm chest width is a 14 cm allowance), while XL is looser.
Comparing Full Send Hoodie Sizing to Other Brands
If you've worn hoodies from Nike, Champion, or Carhartt, you'll notice Full Send runs differently. In my experience designing and testing merch, this brand lands closer to an independent streetwear cut than a mass-market athletic fit.
Compared to Nike
Nike hoodies (like the Nike Club Fleece) typically fit slimmer through the body and have longer sleeves. A Full Send size M has roughly the same chest as a Nike size L but is 2-3 cm shorter in length. If you wear a Nike L, you might prefer a Full Send M for a similar chest fit - but check length.Compared to Champion
Champion Reverse Weave hoodies are known for their stiff, sturdy fabric and consistent sizing. Full Send's chest widths run about one size larger than Champion. If you wear a Champion size M, a Full Send size S will give you a comparable chest width - but the Full Send sleeves will be slightly longer.Compared to Carhartt
Carhartt's loose fit hoodies (like the K87) have a boxier shape than Full Send. The Full Send hoodie is less baggy through the torso and shorter in length. A Carhartt L is looser overall than a Full Send XL in the chest. Best bet: if you're comfortable in Carhartt M, go with Full Send M for a similar roomy but not oversized feel.Tips from Fans: How to Choose the Right Size
I asked the Full Send community on Reddit and Discord about their sizing experiences. Here's what they consistently recommend.
For Layering
If you plan to wear a thick hoodie or flannel underneath, go up one size from your normal. "I wear a size M in most tees," says user FullSendJake, "but for my Full Send hoodie I grab an L so I can still move when I have a long sleeve under it." That extra room also helps if you want the hoodie to fit more like an overshirt.For the Classic Oversized Look
To match the typical Full Send marketing style (slightly baggy but not drowning), take your true chest measurement and pick the size where the chest width is about 8-12 cm (3-5 inches) larger. User SteezySteve notes: "I'm 6'1", 185 lbs, chest 102 cm. The XL gives that perfect streetwear drop without looking like I'm wearing my dad's clothes."Watch the Length
The biggest complaint from fans is that the body length is shorter than expected, especially for taller guys. One common mistake: going too big for length, which makes the chest baggy. If you're over 6 feet, consider sizing up once but be prepared to have extra width. Alternatively, some fans stretch the hoodie by pulling the hem down while damp - but that's temporary.What to Do If Your Hoodie Doesn't Fit: Exchange and Fit Advice
Even with exact measurements, online buying has variance. If your hoodie ends up too tight or too loose, here are your options.
Exchange Process
Full Send allows exchanges within 30 days of delivery for a different size. The hoodie must be unworn with tags attached. You cover return shipping; they send the new size free. Visit the Orders page on the Full Send site to start the process. Expect 5-7 business days for the exchange to complete.Adjustments at Home
If you're borderline (e.g., chest fits but sleeves are just an inch long), try shrinking carefully. A hot wash and high heat dry can reduce length by about 2-3% and width by 1%. Or simply roll the cuffs - many fans do this for a styled look anyway.Sell or Trade
Full Send hoodies hold decent resale value on platforms like Grailed or Depop. If you're outside the 30-day window, you can often sell yours and buy the correct size. Many fans trade within local groups too. Just make sure the hoodie is authentic - check the neck tag and drawstring tips.Key Takeaways
- Full Send hoodies run boxy and slightly short - size down for fitted, true size for relaxed, up for oversized layering.
- Use the official size chart and measure your chest, length, and sleeve rather than relying on shirt size.
- The hoodies are one to two sizes larger in the chest compared to Nike or Champion, but shorter in length.
- Fabric is 400 GSM fleece with minimal shrinkage; cold wash and low heat preserve fit.
- If needed, exchanges are straightforward within 30 days, or explore resale.
