Boys' Hoodies for Ages 8 to 15
These MINOTI hoodies are for boys aged 8 to 15, the hooded sweatshirts he will reach for after school, at the weekend and on the walk to football. A hoodie has roughly the weight of a sweatshirt. On a mild day it can be the outer layer, and once it turns cold it goes under a coat as a mid layer. Fabric and finish vary by style, and each product page lists them.
Choose the size by his height rather than his age. As a guide, an 8-year-old usually takes 134 cm, a 10-year-old usually takes 146 cm and a 13-year-old usually takes 164 cm. If he is between sizes, go up one: a hoodie is meant to sit a little relaxed, and the extra length helps it last through a growth spurt. For a top without a hood, see Hoodies & Sweatshirts. Wash it inside out and follow the care label.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's hoodies for older boys are hooded sweatshirts for ages 8 to 15, in centimetre sizes, with fit and fabric details on each product page, and a 12-year-old usually takes 158 cm.
What size hoodie should I buy for a 12-year-old?
Most 12-year-olds take 158 cm. If he is tall for his age or likes a roomier fit, go up one to 164 cm for extra length in the body and sleeves. Measure his height before you order.
Can a hoodie be worn instead of a coat in autumn?
On mild, dry days it can. At around 12 to 15°C, a hoodie over a T-shirt is usually enough for an active 10-year-old, and when it is colder or wet, wear it as a mid layer under a waterproof or padded coat.
