N. HOOLYWOOD UNDER SUMMIT WEAR

INTRODUCTION

Under Summit Wear is one of three lines produced by Japan's N. Hoolywood, specializing in high quality basics and undergarments. The brand's concept was designed around the idea of standards that all men should have readily available in their wardrobe. Each item comes packaged in a heavy custom box, making them a perfect gift idea. From the boxes to the high quality materials and comfortable, slimming fits, every element of this line hints at perfectly subdued luxury. All items are designed to be unisex, fitting a number of different body types. See this earlier post for further introduction to the world of N. Hoolywood.

These items are not sold on the webstore, so please e-mail or call (1 866 500-2524) to place your order.

THE BOXES

One of the first things you notice about Under Summit Wear are the heavy-duty storage boxes. The boxes are all custom made/assembled for each garment and it really sets the mood for the whole line, giving it a very hand-made and old-timey feel. As mentioned above, the boxes make the line a very easily "giftable" choice, making even very simple t-shirts into very special item which anyone will love to receive.

THE DETAILS

The details are really where N. Hoolywood excels time and time again in all of its lines and garments. Each style has its own subtle details but there are also a few major ones which you will notice each style sharing.

Instead of side seams, the garments are sewn tubular with only the center seam showing. This is one of those special subtle details that really helps to set Under Summit Wear apart from anything else.

N. Hoolywood's signature tag is double sided and folds over the back neckline of the garment, sticking up very slightly. A vintage detail which, once again, adds to that special hand-made feeling of the entire line.

THE FIT

Another part of the beauty in the line is how nicely it fits! Tons of work has been put into the pattern-making so that the sizes sit comfortably on many different body types. When specific styles fit more snugly, you will often find that the fabric is woven with a little bit more "give" in it so that it can stretch with the wearer. Every detail in the fit, from the sleeves to even the neckline, has been considered and tweaked with the wearer's comfort in mind.

A lot of the line fits quite slim but the sizing is intended for sizing up or down to allow for the fit you are looking for specifically in the garments. Buy your normal size to wear for an under layer, fitting snugly with the body, or size up for a more relaxed everyday fit. In general, each person is going to have at least two sizes to wear. All sizes are meant to be unisex. Please e-mail if you are curious about what size you might need.

The sizes listed fit approximately one size smaller than tagged.
36 = XS/34, 38 = S/36, 40 = M/38, 42 = L/40
