Do Dime MTL Hoodies Run Oversized? A Canadian Sizing Guide
Short answer: yes, a little. Dime MTL hoodies are cut with a relaxed, slightly boxy modern fit — roomier through the body and shoulders than a classic athletic hoodie, but not tent-like. If you want the intended look, take your true size. If you like a trimmer fit, size down one; if you want full oversized, size up one. Below is how Dime fits across the pieces we carry at Gallery Streetwear, and how to land your size the first time.
How Dime MTL fits, by piece
Hoodies and crewnecks
Dime’s heavyweight hoodies and crews run relaxed. The body is a touch boxy, the shoulders sit slightly dropped, and the sleeves are generous — the current streetwear silhouette rather than a fitted gym hoodie. On most people, taking your normal size gives that clean, slightly-oversized drape Dime designs for. Prefer it closer to the body? Go down one size. Want it genuinely baggy? Go up one.
T-shirts
Dime tees run true to slightly relaxed, with a modern mid-to-longer body and a fuller sleeve. They’re not slim-fit tees. If you’re between sizes or like a boxier look, stay true to size; if you want it fitted, size down.
Pants and denim
Dime bottoms lean relaxed to baggy depending on the model, which is the point — the brand’s denim and cargos are built for a loose, skate-friendly leg. Check the specific product page, since a relaxed jean and a wide-leg cargo fit differently. When in doubt, your usual waist size is the right starting point.
How to pick your Dime size
The most reliable method: take a hoodie or tee you already own and love the fit of, lay it flat, and measure the chest (armpit to armpit) and the length (top of shoulder to hem). Compare those two numbers to the measurements listed in the sizing section on each Dime product page. That beats guessing from a label every time. For a general walk-through of measuring and reading fit, see our Size Guide.
If you’re still between sizes, our rule of thumb is simple: size up for the intended relaxed look, size down for a cleaner fit. And if you’re unsure, message us before you order — we handle Dime all the time and we’re happy to tell you how a specific piece is running.

Frequently asked questions
Do Dime MTL hoodies run big or small?
Slightly big. Dime hoodies are cut relaxed and a little boxy, so they wear about a half-size roomier than a classic fitted hoodie. Take your true size for the intended look, size down for a trimmer fit, or size up for fully oversized.
Should I size up or down in Dime?
Take your true size for the look Dime intends. Size down one if you prefer a cleaner, closer fit; size up one if you want it clearly oversized.
Do Dime t-shirts run oversized too?
Dime tees run true to slightly relaxed with a modern, slightly longer body — not slim-fit. Stay true to size for a boxy look or size down for a fitted one.
