A thick, boxy fleece hoodie with a hood that covers your neck and chin
This is a men's oversized fleece pullover with a boxy, drop-shoulder shape, long full sleeves, a kangaroo front pocket and a large hood. The hood joins a funnel-style neck, sometimes called a ninja turtleneck, so it can be pulled up over the lower half of your face on a cold walk.
If you searched for a 500gsm heavyweight boxy hoodie for men with thumb holes, we want you to know exactly what this hoodie is before you buy. The photos show a thick, heavy-looking fleece and a clearly boxy cut. They do not show thumb holes, and we have no published fabric weight in grams. We will not promise either one. What we can describe is what you can see and what the listing states.
It comes in Dark Grey, Black and Gray, in sizes S to XXXL, for $89 with free shipping to the US.
Why it works for guys who want a roomy, cold-weather hoodie
This hoodie suits someone who wants a loose, covered-up fit without fuss. It is a pullover with no zip, so it goes on over the head and sits square on the body.
The boxy, drop-shoulder shape
The shoulder seam sits lower than on a standard hoodie, and the body is cut straight rather than tapered. That gives the relaxed, slightly oversized outline that streetwear and Y2K styles are built around.
The sleeves are full length. A boxy cut also leaves room to layer a long-sleeve tee or thin base layer underneath without feeling squeezed.
The big hood and funnel neck
The hood is large, and the neck is a turtleneck-style funnel. Together they cover your neck and can come up over your chin and mouth. There is a drawstring detail for adjusting the hood opening.
If you dislike a bare neck in cool weather, this is the main reason to pick this hoodie over a plain crew-neck sweatshirt. If you dislike anything around your neck, you may find the funnel collar too much. It is worth knowing that before ordering.
The kangaroo pocket
The front pouch pocket is the classic hand-warmer style. It is handy for hands, a phone or keys. Because the listing does not describe the pocket depth or any inner lining, we cannot say more than that.
Fabric and feel
The listing names the fabric as knit fleece, and the materials listed are cotton, polyester and elastane. The percentages are not published, so we will not guess at them. We also cannot say how much stretch it has.
In the photos the fabric looks thick and heavy, which fits the product name. The listing's own thickness field says "standard," though, and no gram weight is given. So treat "500gsm heavyweight" as the way the fabric appears and is described in the name, not as a figure we have measured ourselves. If an exact fabric weight is a deal-breaker for you, this may not be the right pick.
The listed seasons are spring and autumn. That matches a thick-looking fleece you would wear when the weather is cool rather than freezing. In deep winter you would likely add a coat over it.
Care instructions
No care label details came with the listing, so check the label on your hoodie first and follow it. As general guidance for a cotton and polyester fleece:
- Wash inside out in cold or cool water with similar colors.
- Use a gentle detergent and skip fabric softener, which can flatten fleece.
- Dry on low heat or hang to dry. High heat can cause shrinkage and wear on the fabric.
- Do not iron directly on the fleece surface.
Washing it inside out helps keep the outer surface looking even and cuts down on pilling.
Size guide
Sizes run from S to XXXL, and the weight ranges below are the guidance we have for choosing.
No full size chart with chest and length measurements has been published for this hoodie. The sizing guidance available is by body weight:
- S: 40-45 kg (about 88-99 lb)
- M: 45-52.5 kg (about 99-116 lb)
- L: 52.5-60 kg (about 116-132 lb)
- XL: 60-67.5 kg (about 132-149 lb)
- XXL: 67.5-75 kg (about 149-165 lb)
- XXXL: 75-82.5 kg (about 165-182 lb)
These ranges are lower than what many US shoppers would expect for each letter size. That suggests the sizing is closer to Asian sizing than to standard US sizing. Keep that in mind, especially if you are tall or broad through the shoulders.
How to measure
Because there is no published chart, the best method is to compare against a hoodie you already own and like.
- Lay your favorite hoodie flat and measure straight across the chest, just under the armpits. Double that number to get the chest circumference.
- Measure from the top of the shoulder seam to the bottom hem for length.
- Measure from the center of the back of the neck down to the cuff for sleeve length.
- Check your weight against the ranges above and note your height.
Keep in mind that this hoodie has a dropped shoulder and a boxy body, so it will naturally sit wider than a fitted hoodie of the same size.
Which size should I choose?
Start with your weight and find your range. If you fall in the middle of a range, your listed size should work for the intended loose look.
Go up one size if you are at the top of a range, if you are taller than average, if you plan to layer thick pieces underneath, or if you want a really oversized shape. Stay in your range if you like a neater, less baggy fit, since the cut is already roomy.
All sales are final for fit or change of mind, so take a minute to compare with a hoodie you own before you order. If you are truly between two sizes, the larger one is usually the safer choice for a boxy cut.
How to style it
The shape does most of the work, so keep the rest simple.
- Streetwear: Wear it with straight or cargo pants and chunky sneakers. Pull the hood up for the full funnel-neck look.
- Y2K and vintage: Pair it with baggy washed jeans and a plain tee peeking out at the hem.
- Layered: Put a long-sleeve tee underneath and a puffer vest or light jacket on top for colder days.
- Clean and simple: Stick to one color family. Dark grey with black pants and black sneakers looks sharp and needs no extra effort.
Because the grey shown is a solid color with no print, it works as a base piece. You can add a cap, a beanie or a crossbody bag for contrast.
Where else you can wear it
- Everyday errands and coffee runs: The pocket and hood make it an easy grab on cool mornings.
- Walks and outdoor evenings: The funnel neck blocks wind around your neck and chin.
- Travel days: Roomy and soft-looking, so it works as a comfortable top layer on a plane or in a car.
- Casual hangouts and campus days: It is a relaxed, no-effort option with jeans or joggers.
- Lounging at home: The loose cut leaves plenty of room to move around.
If you want something for the gym or high-intensity workouts, a thick fleece like this may feel too warm. It is better for everyday and cool-weather wear.

Why shop with Hoodie Summit
Hoodie Summit is a US shop that focuses on hoodies. We write product pages from what the photos and listing actually show, and we tell you when something is not confirmed.
That is why this page says plainly that the thumb holes are not visible and the fabric weight is not published. We would rather you know that before checkout than be surprised when the box arrives. Prices are in USD, shipping to the US is free, and our damaged, defective or wrong item policy is simple.
Frequently asked questions
Does this hoodie have thumb holes?
The photos do not show any thumb holes, and the listing does not mention them. Please do not buy it expecting thumb holes. The sleeves are full length with regular cuffs as far as we can tell from the images.
Is it really 500gsm?
The product name says 500gsm heavyweight, and the fabric looks thick and heavy in the photos. However, the listing's own thickness field says "standard," and no fabric weight in grams is published. We cannot confirm an exact gram figure.
Does the hood cover my face?
The hood is large and joins a funnel, turtleneck-style neck. In the photos, it comes up high enough to cover the lower part of the face, including the chin and mouth. How high it sits on you will depend on your size and how you adjust the drawstring.
How does the sizing run?
No chest or length chart is published. The weight ranges (S for 40-45 kg through XXXL for 75-82.5 kg) point to sizing that runs smaller than typical US sizes. The cut is boxy and loose, but if you are at the top of your range, or between sizes, choose the larger one.
Can I return it if it does not fit?
No. All sales are final for fit or change of mind. If your hoodie arrives damaged, defective or is the wrong item, contact us within 14 days of delivery and we will replace or refund it.
