NEW HAVEN, Connecticut – As cooler weather arrives, Nicholas James, the men’s golf and lifestyle brand designed exclusively for men 5’9” and under, introduces its collection of versatile fall essentials: tailored vests, refined quarter-zips, and luxurious cashmere sweaters.
Built to address a gap in men’s fashion, Nicholas James ensures that shorter men don’t have to settle for ill-fitting, off-the-rack apparel. Each piece is cut with proportion and fit in mind, creating a polished, confident look that moves seamlessly from the course to the office to an evening out.
Founded by Nick Parker, a 5’6″ menswear veteran with roots in luxury golf shops and premium apparel sales, Nicholas James was born from a personal and professional realization: shorter men are consistently underserved in fashion. While Big & Tall has long been a fixture in menswear, no golf and lifestyle brand had ever dared to do the same for men of modest height—until now.
“Growing up working in private country club golf shops, I developed a deep appreciation for quality menswear,” said Parker. “But 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, and versatile enough for the fairway or a night out.”
Key Fall Highlights:
- Performance Vests: Lightweight and layer-ready, these tailored vests offer warmth without bulk. Ideal for transitional weather and built to move with you from early tee times to evening dinners.
- Cashmere Crewnecks: Crafted from ultra-fine yarns, our cashmere crewnecks are luxuriously soft and precisely cut. These elevated staples deliver warmth, elegance, and effortless layering—ideal for weekends or weekends away.
- Pima Cotton Quarter-Zips: Refined yet relaxed, our quarter-zips are made from premium Pima cotton for unbeatable softness and durability. Finished with thoughtful proportions, they’re a go-to layering piece for understated sophistication.
- 5-Pocket Pants: A wardrobe workhorse reimagined. These versatile trousers blend casual structure with technical fabric for performance and polish. Designed with a tapered leg and scaled rise for a perfect fit every time.
“With Nicholas James, our goal has always been to give men under 5’9” the fit and style they deserve,” said Nick Parker founder of Nicholas James Apparel. “This fall collection brings together performance, comfort, and refinement—making it easy to dress well in cooler weather without compromising on proportion or quality.”
