Chrome Hearts Hoodie
Chrome Hearts built its reputation in sterling silver jewellery and leather goods before apparel became the brand’s most visible output. The Gothic cross, the horseshoe, the fleur-de-lis scroll — motifs Richard Stark developed in Los Angeles from 1988 — are now the defining graphics across the Chrome Hearts hoodie range. We carry 171 styles from $200, covering the core black-and-white graphic vocabulary, the colourway pieces, and the Matty Boy collaboration line. Every order ships free within the US.
How Chrome Hearts Hoodies Are Built
The base is 400+ GSM heavyweight cotton fleece — the weight that gives a Chrome Hearts Hoodie its distinctive drape and structure. At that GSM, the fabric holds its shape across repeated washing rather than softening and losing form the way lighter cotton sweatshirt fabric does. The hood is double-lined. Cuffs and hem are ribbed cotton that locks the silhouette. Kangaroo pocket on the pullover styles; zip-front construction on the zip-up line.
The graphic placement follows a consistent architecture across all styles: a chest motif anchors the front, the back carries the primary statement piece, and sleeve graphics function as secondary detail. This is the same placement logic Chrome Hearts uses across its apparel range, which means pieces from different seasons and colourways work together when layered or styled as a set.
The Graphic Vocabulary
Three motif families cover most of the Chrome Hearts hoodie output. The Gothic cross is the oldest and most recognised — it runs from straightforward single-cross placements to multi-cross cemetery arrangements to floral and crystal-embellished variants. The horseshoe logo is the secondary core motif, appearing alone or in combination with cross graphics. The third territory is the Matty Boy collaboration pieces, where artist Matt McConkey’s distinct visual language — pop-culture distortions, brain imagery, psychedelic references — is applied to the Chrome Hearts base.
Beyond those three families, the range includes location exclusives (Malibu, Aspen, St Barth, Los Angeles) and collaboration pieces that reference Chrome Hearts’ wider creative relationships. These tend to carry a slight price premium and have historically performed well on the secondary market when they go out of stock.
Pullover vs Zip-Up
The pullover is the primary Chrome Hearts hoodie format — most of the brand’s most recognisable graphics appear on pullover styles. The zip-up line is broader in its graphic range, with more two-tone colourway combinations (black/blue, ivory/black, black/green) and some pieces that use the zip construction as a design element rather than purely a function. Both share the same heavyweight cotton base and the same graphic placement architecture.
If you are buying a first Chrome Hearts hoodie, the black pullover Gothic cross or horseshoe styles are the clearest entry points. If you are adding to an existing Chrome Hearts wardrobe, the zip-up colourway pieces and the Matty Boy collaboration styles are where the range gets more specific.
Colourways
Black and white are the foundational Chrome Hearts colours — the Gothic and biker aesthetic the brand was built on. The extended colourway range adds blue, grey, red, pink, and orange options, each applying the standard Chrome Hearts graphic architecture to a different base. The colourway pieces require more deliberate styling (keep the rest of the outfit dark and neutral) but give the brand’s graphics a different reading than the standard black base allows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these authentic Chrome Hearts hoodies?
We are an independent US retailer specialising in Chrome Hearts apparel. We are not affiliated with Chrome Hearts LLC or its owned retail locations. The pieces we carry reflect the Chrome Hearts aesthetic and graphic vocabulary — Gothic cross, horseshoe, fleur-de-lis — at prices accessible outside the brand’s own retail environment. Chrome Hearts does not operate a general e-commerce store; authorised resale and independent retail are how most buyers outside of Chrome Hearts’ flagship locations acquire the brand.
What is the price range for Chrome Hearts Hoodies on this site?

Standard pullover and zip-up styles with printed graphics start from $200. All prices shown are the current sale price with the original price displayed alongside.
What is the difference between the Chrome Hearts pullover and zip-up hoodie?
The pullover is a traditional overhead hoodie — no zip, kangaroo pocket, full graphic coverage on front and back. It is the more common Chrome Hearts hoodie format and carries most of the brand’s core single-graphic styles. The zip-up has a full-length front zip and tends to appear in more colourway combinations. Both use the same heavyweight cotton fleece construction.
