Men's Clothing

Built Around The Jean

Most menswear ranges are built as departments: tops here, bottoms there, and the shopper does the work of making them agree. Ksubi builds outward from denim, and it changes what the rest of the range is for.

Chitch, Van Winkle and Maxx set the silhouettes. The tees, shirts, hoodies and jackets on this page are cut to sit with them rather than compete for attention, which is why an oversized Biggie tee reads as intentional over a baggy leg and awkward over a slim one.

So the order matters. Choose the jean first and the rest of the page narrows itself.

How the range is put together:

• Denim leads, Chitch as the slim the brand was built on, Van Winkle harder and narrower, Maxx carrying the baggy end
• Capsules match themselves, Kaliba runs one Deep Dive wash across the hoodie, trak pant and tee so the fit is a single decision
• Graphics do the talking, 4x4 and Biggie tees when the top is the loud piece, Ekcess and Synthesis when it is not
• Outerwear closes it, jackets and knitwear cut to sit over the volume rather than fight it

Buy the leg you live in, then build the rest of the fit around it.

Not Your Basics

There is no plain white tee here in the usual sense. Even the quiet pieces carry a graphic, a wash or a cut that would not pass for another brand's, and that is deliberate rather than decorative.

It is also the practical argument for buying the range as a range. A Ksubi tee under a Ksubi jacket over Ksubi denim works because the proportions were developed together, in the same season, by people who expected them to be worn that way.

The pieces are made to be worn hard and to age visibly. Nothing on this page is trying to stay pristine.

The pieces are made to be worn hard and to age visibly. Start at the men's denim, or go straight to baggy fits if you already know the leg you want, and build the rest of the fit around it.
