I originally wanted the purple hoodie, but the olive was my second choice. It was a frustrating process to cop this hoodie from Adidas Canada, but I was persistent and was eventually successful! There are not many sizes left on the Adidas website, but I do see them popping up at different retailers. Check out this link: Sporting Life
Sizing
This is unisex sizing and I purchased medium. I love the fit as it is baggy, but not too baggy. went a size true to size for this hoodie. I am about 5’7 in height if that gives you any reference. I

Sizing
The website wasn’t clear if this was men’s or women’s sizing. I assumed because the model in the photo was male, it was mens sizing. I searched the H&M website and it seems like there is no sizing for women’s. I bought this hoodie in a medium and it edges between true to size and a relaxed fit.
Overall Thoughts
If you have the money to spare, I would go for the adidas x Pharrell collection due to the fact that it is made fro high quality materials. The H&M hoodie is not a bad alternative, especially with a price tag of $29.99 (there are also always a ton of discounts at this store). I do think over time the H&M sweater will eventually wear out after many washes. This is ultimately the reason why I would go to the Pharrell x Adidas hoodie. Which one would you go for?
