Sp5der hoodies run oversized — size true-to-size for the boxy fit, size down 1 for fitted. Sp5der t-shirts run small, so size up 1. Same brand, opposite rules — that’s why your friend’s M fits perfect and your M looks like a bedsheet. The size chart isn’t broken, you just need 2 different sizes.
Hoodies Run Big, Tees Run Small — The Rule
Hoodies use boxy oversized blocks: size M flat chest 58 cm, length 71 cm, sleeve 64 cm — about 4–5 cm wider and 3 cm shorter than a standard US M hoodie. T-shirts use slim shoulders with a wide body: size M chest 53 cm, length 71 cm, slightly cropped feel. A 6’1 person fits a hoodie M oversized but needs a Sp5der tee in S or XS. Same letter, opposite story.
Size Chart by Height and Build
5’6–5’9 / 130–160 lbs: hoodie S for fitted, M for the true Sp5der look. 5’10–6’0 / 150–180 lbs: hoodie M for slightly oversized, L for full drape. 6’0–6’3 / 170–200 lbs: hoodie L, or XL for max drape. Athletic builds: stay at recommended size — the oversized cut already adds room across the chest. T-shirts: take 1 full size down from your normal US tee. A normal-M wearer takes a Sp5der S in tees, every time.
How to Pick If You Want Fitted, Regular, or Fully Oversized
3 fit goals, 3 sizing rules. Fitted (Travis Scott era look): size down 1 on hoodies, down 2 on tees, hem at upper hip. Regular (“model in photo” look): true US size on hoodies, down 1 on tees, hem at mid hip. Fully oversized: size up 1 on hoodies, true size on tees, hem at lower hip. Shrinkage after 5 cold washes: 1–2 cm in length, near zero in chest.
FAQ
Do Sp5der hoodies run big or small?
Sp5der hoodies run oversized — boxy and slightly cropped. Take your true US size for the intended look, size down 1 for fitted. T-shirts are the opposite, they run small, so size up 1.
I’m 5’10, 160 lbs — what size Sp5der hoodie should I get?
Take a size M for a slightly oversized look (chest 58 cm, length 71 cm), or L if you want full drape. For tees, take S — Sp5der tees run a full size smaller than normal US.
