01 — HOW IT WORKS
Understanding Palm Angels Sizing
Palm Angels labels its clothing using European (Italian/French) numeric sizing rather than the simple S/M/L labels many shoppers are used to. This applies across t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, and jackets, so the first step to getting the right fit is knowing how those EU numbers translate to the size label and to UK/US equivalents.
| EU (IT/FR) | Size Label | UK | US |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40 | XXXS | 30 | 30 |
| 42 | XXS | 32 | 32 |
| 44 | XS | 34 | 34 |
| 46 | S | 36 | 36 |
| 48 | M | 38 | 38 |
| 50 | L | 40 | 40 |
| 52 | XL | 42 | 42 |
| 54 | XXL | 44 | 44 |
| 56 | XXXL | 46 | 46 |
EU-to-UK/US size label conversion
Keep this table handy while browsing — a Palm Angels clothing tag reading “48” is a Medium, not a European clothing size in the way you might expect from other brands.
02 — SIZE CHART
Hoodie & T-Shirt Chest Measurements
Hoodies, sweatshirts, and t-shirts are sized on the same scale, so one chart covers both categories. Figures below are approximate body measurements in inches — use them alongside your own chest and waist measurements rather than your usual size in another brand.
| Size | UK / US | EU | Chest (in) | Waist (in) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XXXS | 30 | 40 | 30–32 | 26–28 |
| XXS | 32 | 42 | 32–34 | 28–30 |
| XS | 34 | 44 | 34–36 | 28–30 |
| S | 36 | 46 | 36–38 | 30–32 |
| M | 38 | 48 | 38–40 | 32–34 |
| L | 40 | 50 | 40–42 | 34–36 |
| XL | 42 | 52 | 42–44 | 36–38 |
| XXL | 44 | 54 | 44–46 | 38–40 |
Approximate body measurements, not garment measurements
Rule of thumb: for the intended streetwear drape, match your chest measurement to the chart and stay true to size. For a deliberately oversized look, go up one full size.
03 — FIT NOTES
Do Hoodies and Tees Fit True to Size?
Generally, yes. Palm Angels Palm Angels tracksuits and t-shirts are cut with a regular, comfortable fit rather than a slim one, and they’re built to drape naturally without being excessively baggy at the standard size. The brand’s roots in skate culture mean there’s always a bit of room through the body and shoulders, but nothing sized so large that it reads as a mistake.
If anything, a small number of wearers find certain pieces run very slightly snug depending on build, so if your measurements land right between two sizes, sizing up is the safer call.
- Want the true-to-size, intended silhouette? Order your measured size from the chart above.
- Want the relaxed, oversized streetwear look? Size up by one or two for an especially loose drape.
- Prefer a closer, more tailored fit? Size down by one — less common for this label, but workable for tees.
04 — HOW TO MEASURE
Measuring Yourself at Home
A tape measure and two minutes are all you need to avoid a sizing mistake. Take these three measurements before checking the chart:
- Chest: wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms, keeping it snug but not tight.
- Shoulder width: measure straight across the back from one shoulder edge to the other.
- Waist: measure around your natural waistline, about an inch above the navel.
Take each measurement while breathing normally and standing naturally — pulling the tape too tight is the most common cause of ordering a size too small.
05 — QUICK TIPS
Sizing Tips Before You Buy
- Remember the EU sizing system: EU 46 = S, EU 48 = M, EU 50 = L, EU 52 = XL.
- Between two sizes? Size up — the fit reads better loose than tight on this label.
- Check the product description for “oversized” or “relaxed fit” call-outs before sizing up further.
- If you plan to layer a hoodie under a jacket, size the hoodie true to size and size the jacket up instead.
- Cotton fleece has minimal stretch, so don’t count on the fabric giving room over time.
Final Thoughts
Getting the right Palm Angels shoes size comes down to one habit: measure first, then match to the chart, rather than relying on your usual size from another brand. The EU numbering throws most first-time buyers off, but once you know that 48 means Medium, the rest of the sizing system is straightforward and consistent across hoodies and tees alike.
