The Fit

Why this fits when sizing down at a regular brand doesn't

“Great shirt! I’ve been very pleased with my purchases at Nicholas James.”

— Scott K., verified buyer

The sleeve stops at your wrist
Not your knuckles. Every proportion is shortened, not just the body — the change buyers say they notice first.
The body is short enough to layer
Untucked, tucked, or under a vest — nothing to bunch at the waist or hang past the hip.
Built from a 5'7", 150 lb block
Not scaled down from a 6'2" fit model. Sizing down at a regular brand shrinks the chest and shoulders right along with the length — this doesn't.

From the Founder

“Off-the-rack clothes were always too long or boxy. I created Nicholas James to give guys like me the same level of style and craftsmanship — tailored to our frame.”

Nick Parker
Founder, nicholas james · 5'6"
~47%
of American men — roughly 40 million — are shorter than 5'9". Almost none of the golf and lifestyle apparel on the market is cut for them.
As Seen In
“Growing up, I hated life as a 5-foot-8-inch wannabe athlete. All my friends were jocks who were taller. It's no fun feeling too short. Finally, there's a golf brand that cares about guys like me.”
