Palm Angels Size Chart India: Hoodie, T-Shirt, Track Jacket, Track Pants
Here is the confusing part about Palm Angels sizing. The brand tells you it fits true to size. Buyers who take that literally often end up with a hoodie that drapes past the hip and sleeves that pool at the knuckle. Palm Angels garments are cut for an oversized, dropped shoulder silhouette even when the tag matches your usual size, so "true to size" and "the fit you're used to" are two different things here.

This guide pulls the numbers from Palm Angels' own international size conversion and published sizing references, then translates them for an Indian frame. It also covers the piece that trips up most first time buyers: the internal tag prints a number, not a letter, and that number is not the same scale as your usual Nike or Zara tag.
The one rule that fixes most Palm Angels sizing mistakes
Palm Angels apparel is cut with roots in skate culture: wide through the shoulder, generous through the chest, long in the body. The size on the tag is technically your regular size (the brand markets its tops, jackets and tracksuits as true to size), but "true to size" here means true to a loose, dropped shoulder pattern, not a fitted one.
What that means for an Indian buyer used to Nike, H&M, or any India focused streetwear label:
- If you want the label's intended relaxed, statement look, order your usual size.
- If you want a closer, more tailored fit, go one size down from your usual pick.
- Only go a size up if you plan to layer a hoodie under the Palm Angels Classic Track Jacket Dark Grey/Off White or another shell piece.
The full range across the Palm Angels collection at Kicks Machine is checked in house for label authenticity and stitch quality before it ships out of Dehradun, so getting the size wrong just means a swap, not a bigger authentication headache.
Palm Angels international size to UK and Italian size conversion
Palm Angels writes its internal tags on the Italian (IT) scale, which is where most of the confusion starts. This is the brand's standard menswear conversion, used across tops and bottoms.
| International | UK | IT |
|---|---|---|
| XXS | 32 | 42 |
| XS | 34 | 44 |
| S | 36 | 46 |
| M | 38 | 48 |
| L | 40 | 50 |
| XL | 42 | 52 |
| XXL | 44 | 54 |

If a tag inside a piece reads "48" instead of "M," this table is the translation. It is also the number to check against a resale listing or a friend's import piece before assuming the letter size on the outside sticker matches what is sewn inside.
Palm Angels chest and waist size chart (men's)
These are the body measurement ranges Palm Angels' own sizing reference publishes for its general clothing range, in inches with centimetres added for India convenience.
| Size | Chest | Waist |
|---|---|---|
| XXS | 32 to 34 in / 81 to 86 cm | 28 to 30 in / 71 to 76 cm |
| XS | 34 to 36 in / 86 to 91 cm | 28 to 30 in / 71 to 76 cm |
| S | 36 to 38 in / 91 to 97 cm | 30 to 32 in / 76 to 81 cm |
| M | 38 to 40 in / 97 to 102 cm | 32 to 34 in / 81 to 86 cm |
| L | 40 to 42 in / 102 to 107 cm | 34 to 36 in / 86 to 91 cm |
| XL | 42 to 44 in / 107 to 112 cm | 36 to 38 in / 91 to 97 cm |
| XXL | 44 to 46 in / 112 to 117 cm | 38 to 40 in / 97 to 102 cm |

Indian frame translation, chest driven:
- 5'5" to 5'7", 55 to 65 kg: XS to S, depending on whether you want the relaxed drape or a closer fit.
- 5'7" to 5'9", 65 to 75 kg: S to M is the sweet spot for most builds this height.
- 5'9" to 5'11", 75 to 85 kg: M to L, size down to M if you want a cleaner shoulder line.
- Above 5'11" or above 85 kg: L to XL.
Measure a hoodie or jacket you already own flat, pit to pit, and double it. If that number sits inside one of the chest ranges above, that is your Palm Angels size for a similar fit.
Palm Angels track jacket size chart
Track jackets are the piece Palm Angels is best known for, and the brand's published reference only covers three anchor sizes: XX-Small, Medium and X-Large. Use the chest chart above to place yourself between these if you fall in an S, L or XXL.
| Size | Chest (Pit to Pit) | Back Length | Shoulder | Sleeve |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XX-Small | 17 in / 43 cm | 22.75 in / 58 cm | 14.5 in / 37 cm | 19 in / 48 cm |
| Medium | 20.5 in / 52 cm | 24.5 in / 62 cm | 16.5 in / 42 cm | 19.5 in / 50 cm |
| X-Large | 22.5 in / 57 cm | 26 in / 66 cm | 17.5 in / 44 cm | 20 in / 51 cm |

Indian frame translation: the shoulder measurement is the one to watch. Palm Angels track jackets sit slightly dropped off the natural shoulder by design, so a Medium's 16.5 inch shoulder will read a touch wide on a narrower frame. If your shoulder is on the smaller side of your chest bracket, size down for a cleaner line on pieces like the Palm Angels Monogram Track Jacket Black/Off White.
Palm Angels track pants and t-shirt notes
Track pants keep a consistent inseam across most sizes, which is the number that catches shorter Indian buyers off guard.
| Size | Waist | Rise | Inside Leg | Thigh |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| X-Small | 30 in / 76 cm | 10 in / 25 cm | 30 in / 76 cm | 12 in / 30 cm |
| Medium | 35 in / 89 cm | 11 in / 28 cm | 30 in / 76 cm | 13 in / 33 cm |
| XX-Large | 38 in / 97 cm | 13 in / 33 cm | 31 in / 79 cm | 15 in / 38 cm |

The inside leg barely moves between sizes (30 to 31 inches), so buyers under 5'8" should expect to hem the Palm Angels Classic Track Pants Black or wear them stacked, which is the intended streetwear look on this silhouette anyway. For t-shirts, Palm Angels runs true to size with a regular cut through the body and shoulders; if you want the oversized, half tucked look shown in the brand's own campaign imagery, go one size up from your usual pick, for example on the Palm Angels Logo T-Shirt White.
When the tag says regular but the cut runs oversized
This is the note most buyers miss until the parcel arrives. Palm Angels markets hoodies, jackets and tracksuits as true to size, and technically the tag measurement is accurate to the chart above. The confusion comes from comparing that chart to a fitted Indian brand's chart. A Palm Angels Medium chest (38 to 40 inches) is roughly the same raw number as a Medium in most Indian streetwear labels, but the extra fabric in the shoulder, sleeve and body length is what reads as oversized on delivery, not an inflated size tag. Trust the chest number, not the memory of how a Medium usually feels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Palm Angels run big or small?
Neither, technically. Palm Angels garments are true to their own size chart, but the cut is generous through the shoulder and body, so they wear bigger than a fitted Indian brand of the same labelled size. Size down one if you want a closer fit.What size should I order in a Palm Angels hoodie if I am a Medium in Nike or Zara?
Most Indian buyers who wear Medium in Nike or Zara land in a Small to Medium Palm Angels hoodie depending on preferred drape. Check your flat chest measurement against the chest chart above rather than relying on the letter alone.Is Palm Angels sizing the same for men and women?
Palm Angels sells most tops, hoodies and track jackets as a unisex or men's line, and women shopping it typically size down one to two from their usual women's size for a closer fit, since the base pattern is cut for the men's chart above.Why does the tag inside a Palm Angels piece show a number instead of S, M, L?
Palm Angels tags use the Italian (IT) sizing scale internally, so a piece marked "48" is the same as a Medium and a piece marked "50" is a Large. Use the conversion table earlier in this guide to check any tag against the international letter size.Do Palm Angels track pants run true to size at the waist?
Yes, the waist measurement is the reliable number to size from. The inside leg barely changes between sizes though, staying around 30 to 31 inches, so buyers under 5'8" should expect to hem or cuff the [Palm Angels Classic Track Pants Black](https://www.kicksmachine.com/products/palm-angels-classic-track-pants-black-sale) after delivery.Picking your first Palm Angels piece
The hoodie is the safest first buy because the oversized silhouette is the whole point and a slightly loose fit still reads correctly.
