Essentials Sweatpants size chart

Essentials runs oversized. This is intentional – drop shoulders, wide body.

  • Your usual size = the oversized look from the lookbook.
  • One size down = a regular fit like other brands.
  • Women: the line is unisex – go 1–2 sizes smaller than your women's size.
  • From 1.88 m (6'2"): your usual size – going smaller costs about 2.5 cm of leg length.

Which size for which height?

Height Regular fit Oversized look
165–170 cm S M
171–176 cm M L
177–182 cm M / L XL
183–188 cm L XL / XXL
from 189 cm XL XXL

Guideline values for an average build. If you have a stocky build or broad shoulders, lean toward the oversized column. For comparison: at 1.82 m and 70 kg, M fits for the oversized look, S for the regular fit.

Sweatpants measurements

Measurements in cm XXS XS S M L XL XXL
Waist (relaxed) 66 71 76 81 86 91 99
Hip 93 98 103 108 113 118 126

Garment measurements taken flat, chest = 2 × width under the armpit, length from shoulder height at the collar. Deviations of ±2 cm depending on the season are normal.

The waistband fits normally, the room is in the seat and leg. The pants are not cut short (inseam M: 81 cm) – the "cropped" impression comes from the tight cuffs and the stacking at the ankle. "Relaxed" models have a straight, wide leg opening instead of cuffs.

Body measurements according to the manufacturer

Body measurement in cm XXS XS S M L XL XXL
Chest 81 86 91 97 102 107 112

This is how Fear of God assigns sizes to the body – the oversized fit then results from this.
