Quick verdict

A hooded cotton pullover offered across roughly forty colorways in S–XL, catalogued as fleece-lined with a loose cut, embroidered detail and side-seam pockets. No buyer claims exist for this exact listing, and the sizing guidance that does exist is line-level and conflicting. Ask the seller for a flat measurement chart for the variant you want before ordering.

Pros

  • · Catalogued as cotton with a hooded pullover cut, embroidered detail and side-seam pockets.
  • · Very broad colorway range in one listing, across S, M, L and XL.
  • · Listed as fleece-lined and loose-fitting, which matches a relaxed fall layering use.

Cons

  • · Retailer sizing notes for the bear-hoodie line conflict: some stockists call it true to size, Zalando's bear hoodie is flagged as running small.
  • · A 2019 authentic-vs-replica comparison of the headless-bear hoodie found the rep tier thinner and lighter with loopback interior, a flat logo print and a softer hood; it is line-level context, not a finding about this batch.
  • · The same comparison found the bear patch darker and browner than the authentic's lighter colouring, making patch tone the most visible discrepancy to check.

Fit notes

Line-level, not this listing: Mr Porter, Ounass and Brown Thomas call the bear hoodie true to size with a loose, dropped-shoulder cut; Zalando's bear hoodie runs small and advises sizing up; one buyer who normally wears XS took IT38 and found it sits below the seat. Request measurements per variant.

Buy if

You want a hooded cotton pullover in one specific colorway from a wide run, in S–XL, and you are willing to request a flat measurement chart and the interior lining details before ordering.

Skip if

You need one consistent brand-wide sizing rule, or you are matching the bear patch tone directly against official product photos without asking for real photos of the variant first.

Buying FAQ

Common questions

Is this hoodie true to size?⌄

Guidance for the bear-hoodie line is split: Mr Porter, Ounass and Brown Thomas describe it as true to size with a loose fit, while Zalando flags its bear hoodie as running small. Use the seller's measurement chart for your specific variant rather than a blanket rule.

Do the sizes run large?⌄

One separate replica seller marks every size S–XL as runs large, but that is a different listing and is not verified for the variants here. Treat it as a prompt to ask for flat measurements, not as a rule for this catalog.

Is the inside fleece or loopback?⌄

This listing is catalogued as fleece-lined. A 2019 comparison of a low-priced replica found ordinary loopback instead of the authentic's fleece, so confirm which lining your variant uses before ordering.

How close is the bear patch colour?⌄

The 2019 side-by-side comparison found the replica's bear print darker and browner than the authentic's lighter colouring. If patch tone matters, ask for real photos of the exact colourway rather than judging from stock images.

Are the embroidery and print details described anywhere?⌄

The catalog lists print/printing and dyeing with embroidery details and a letter pattern. That describes intended construction only; there is no independent buyer record for this listing's print or embroidery.

Evidence

Public notes used

color · con · 50% confidence

The same side-by-side comparison notes the replica's bear appliqué/print was a darker, browner shade than the authentic's lighter bear colouring, so buyers comparing colour against official product photos of this bear-motif line should expect the patch tone to be the most visible discrepancy.

quality · con · 55% confidence

An independent Chinese authentic-vs-replica comparison of the Palm Angels headless-bear hoodie found the replica noticeably thinner and lighter than the authentic, with ordinary loopback (毛圈) interior instead of the authentic's fleece lining, a rougher hand feel, a flat rather than embossed logo print and a soft, less structured hood — this comparison dates from 2019 and covers a low-priced (~¥200+) rep tier, so it is line-level context rather than proof of the batch sold in this listing.

sizing · tip · 62% confidence

Line-level seller fit notes for the Palm Angels bear-print hoodie (same bear-motif hooded construction as this catalog) repeatedly describe it as true to size with a relaxed, dropped-shoulder cut — Mr Porter lists it as 'fits true to size... designed for a loose fit', and Ounass/Brown Thomas give the same guidance — so buyers wanting the brand's intended slouchy look should not automatically size down.

sizing · tip · 58% confidence

Fit advice for the Palm Angels bear hoodie line is not consistent across retailers: Zalando's 'Bear Regular Hoodie' (black/brown, 100% cotton) is flagged as running smaller than standard with a recommendation to size up, while other stockists call the same line true to size — buyers of this multi-variant listing should check the measurement chart for the specific variant rather than trusting a single blanket rule.

sizing · tip · 42% confidence

Sizing notes on a separate seller's replica listing of the Palm Angels headless-bear (断头熊) hoodie mark every size S, M, L and XL as 偏大 ('runs large'), suggesting some rep batches of this bear-hoodie design are cut bigger than expected — this is a different seller's listing and not verified for the variants in this catalog, so treat it only as a prompt to request measurements.

A buyer review of the authentic Palm Angels headless-bear hoodie (posted on DealMoon, bought at Selfridges) reports it is not dramatically oversized: the reviewer, who normally wears XS, took the equivalent of size 6/IT38 and said it sits just below the seat with a normal, non-bulky fit — useful line-level context when choosing a size in this bear-hoodie catalog.
