Hellstar Size Chart India: Hoodie, Sweatpants, Tee Fit Guide
If you have searched for a Hellstar size chart before landing here, you have probably already noticed the problem. A dozen different websites all claim to sell "official Hellstar" gear and every single one prints slightly different numbers for the same size. That is not you doing something wrong. Hellstar is a young US streetwear label that has not put out one single, brand verified size guide, so the internet has filled the gap with guesswork. Here is the honest version, plus how to actually get your size right on your first order from India.

The one rule that fixes most Hellstar sizing mistakes
Hellstar hoodies, sweatpants, and tees are all cut with the same boxy, dropped shoulder streetwear silhouette that brands like this lean on. That means the fit sits looser and longer than a plain gym tee or a fitted Indian brand hoodie in the same tagged size, even before you get into whichever site's numbers you happen to trust.
What that means in practice for a first time Indian buyer:
- If you want the label's intended loose, boxy look, buy your usual size.
- If you want something closer to a fitted, tucked in silhouette, go one size down.
- Do not size up further "for extra room". Hellstar pieces are already cut with room built in, and going up two sizes turns a hoodie into a poncho on most Indian frames.
The mistake to avoid: treating a Hellstar Large the same as a Large in a plain cotton tee brand. The chest and length numbers below run noticeably roomier at every size.
Why we are not printing a single "official" Hellstar chart here
To be straight with you: several sites, including ones with "official" in their name or URL, publish Hellstar size tables. We checked multiple of them while researching this page and the numbers do not agree with each other closely enough to trust any one as the brand's real, verified chart. Given that, we are not going to print a table here and label it as Hellstar's official numbers when we cannot confirm it against the brand itself, that would be exactly the kind of guessed data this page is trying to help you avoid.
What we can give you instead is the general convention that boxy, oversized US streetwear brands (the category Hellstar sits in) use, so you have a real reference point rather than nothing.
General oversized streetwear size guide (not Hellstar's own published numbers)
These are typical finished garment measurements for the boxy, oversized cut common across US streetwear labels in this category, useful as a reference range while Hellstar has no single confirmed official chart. Treat this as general guidance, not brand specific data. Always compare against a boxy hoodie or tee you already own and like the fit of.
| Size | Chest (flat, pit to pit) | Body Length | Sleeve |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 22 to 23 in / 56 to 58 cm | 27 to 28 in / 69 to 71 cm | 24 in / 61 cm |
| M | 23 to 24 in / 58 to 61 cm | 28 to 29 in / 71 to 74 cm | 25 in / 63.5 cm |
| L | 24 to 25 in / 61 to 64 cm | 29 to 30 in / 74 to 76 cm | 26 in / 66 cm |
| XL | 25.5 to 26.5 in / 65 to 67 cm | 30 to 31 in / 76 to 79 cm | 27 in / 68.5 cm |
(General guidance based on common US oversized streetwear conventions, not a Hellstar brand issued size guide. Compare against a hoodie or tee you already own before ordering.)
Indian frame translation:
- 5'5" to 5'7", 55 to 65 kg: S for a closer, tucked fit. M for the intended boxy look.
- 5'7" to 5'9", 65 to 75 kg: M for tucked in, L for the boxy Hellstar drop shoulder look.
- 5'9" to 5'11", 75 to 85 kg: L for tucked in, XL for full oversized.
- Above 5'11" or above 85 kg: XL, and consider that the body length will sit well past the hip on the boxy cut.
Sweatpants: go with your true waist size
Sweatpants are the one Hellstar piece where sizing up rarely helps. The waist is usually elastic or drawstring, so it adjusts within a range, but the leg opening and rise are cut for the label's straight, slightly wide fit. Going up a size mainly adds extra length and a baggier thigh rather than more waist room.
For most Indian buyers, pick sweatpants in the same size you would wear in a regular Indian brand's joggers, then size up only if you specifically want the loose, stacked on the shoe look. If you are between two waist sizes, the smaller one paired with the drawstring pulled in usually sits better than the larger one worn loose.
Our Hellstar collection carries pieces like the Hellstar Sports Sweatpants Jet Black, every pair checked in house in Dehradun for the label, stitching, and print quality that separates a genuine piece from a grey market copy before it ships.
Tees: the boxy cut means most people go true to size or one down
Hellstar tees follow the same boxy body as the hoodie, just without the added hood and pocket bulk. Because there is no fleece weight adding visual bulk, most Indian buyers find true to size gives the label's intended look, while one size down gives a cleaner, less oversized silhouette that still reads as streetwear rather than baggy.
The Hellstar Classic T-Shirt (Regular Print) Black/Blue and the Hellstar Family Tee Black are both cut from this same boxy block, so whichever size you land on here should carry across the tee range.
Quick India sizing translator
If you usually buy these brands in India, here is roughly where that lands you in Hellstar's boxy cut, for the intended loose look rather than a tucked fit.
| Your usual brand | Your size | Hellstar hoodie or tee (loose fit) |
|---|---|---|
| H&M, Zara India | M | M to L |
| Nike, Adidas India | M | L |
| Puma, Reebok India | L | XL |
| Decathlon | M | M to L |
Pick the smaller option in each pairing if you want a tucked, fitted look instead of the intended boxy drape.
When to trust a size chart you find online, and when not to
A quick way to sanity check any Hellstar size chart you see elsewhere: if the site does not show a real brand storefront with a history of reviews, or if the "official" claim sits next to a URL that looks like a copy of the real brand name (an extra word tacked on, a misspelled brand name, a generic dot store domain), treat the numbers as unverified. Community threads from actual buyers on forums like Reddit are often more reliable than a random site's printed chart (via buyer feedback threads), because real owners are reporting what actually arrived rather than what a listing promises.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Hellstar run big or small?
Big, by design. Hellstar hoodies, sweatpants, and tees use a boxy, dropped shoulder streetwear cut that sits looser and longer than a standard fit garment in the same tagged size. Most Indian buyers should treat their usual size as the loose, intended fit and size down only for a tucked look.What size should I get in Hellstar if I am unsure?
Start with your true, everyday size for the intended boxy look, or one size down if you prefer a cleaner, less oversized silhouette. Compare the chest and length against a boxy hoodie or tee you already own rather than trusting your usual numbered size alone, since Hellstar's own cut runs roomier than most Indian brands at the same label.Is Hellstar true to size?
Not in the way a plain fitted tee is. The label is cut oversized on purpose, so a true to size pick still comes out roomier than a standard fit brand. If you want a tighter fit, plan to size down rather than trusting the tag number alone.Why doesn't this page show one official Hellstar size chart?
Because we could not verify one. Several sites claim to be Hellstar's official store and each prints different measurements for the same size. Rather than pick one and call it official, we built this guide around general oversized streetwear conventions and real buyer feedback, clearly labelled as such, so you are not working off a number we cannot stand behind.Do Hellstar sweatpants and the hoodie run the same size?
Not exactly. The hoodie and tee share a boxy body cut, but the sweatpants fit is driven mostly by waist and rise rather than chest, so going up a size does less for the pants than it does for the hoodie. Pick the sweatpants closer to your true waist size, like the [Hellstar Sports Sweatpants Jet Black](https://www.kicksmachine.com/products/hellstar-sports-sweatpants-jet-black-sale), and size the hoodie separately based on how loose you want it.Can I return a Hellstar piece from Kicks Machine if the size is wrong?
Kicks Machine ships Hellstar pieces with cash on delivery available across India, so you can inspect the fit before you pay in most cases. Every piece also goes through an in house check in Dehradun for stitching, print, and label quality before it leaves the warehouse, which is the part of the sizing risk that is hardest to fix after the fact.Picking your first Hellstar piece
The hoodie is the easiest first buy because the boxy silhouette is meant to be loose, so a slightly generous guess still looks intentional. The tee is the trickier first order because too loose reads sloppy rather than styled, while too tight loses the boxy shape the brand is known for. If you are ordering for the first time, start with the hoodie in your true size, learn how Hellstar's cut lands on you, then size the tee and sweatpants from there.
Browse the current range in our Hellstar collection, including the Hellstar Sport Logo Hoodie Black, or explore the wider Streetwear collection if you are building out a fuller closet. Every Hellstar piece on Kicks Machine ships with cash on delivery available pan India and passes our in house label, stitch, and print check in Dehradun before dispatch, the part of getting a size wrong that is safest to fix through us rather than a random reseller.
