How Each Piece Fits

Every piece keeps the same easy proportion: loose on top, straight below. What changes between the men's and women's cuts is the pattern underneath.

Men's Knitwear

Crewnecks and cardigans

Shoulders — wide Body — long
  • Longer in the body, so the hem sits a little past the waistband.
  • Wider across the shoulders for an easy, relaxed drape.
  • Soft, mid-weight knit with ribbed cuffs that hold a pushed-up sleeve.

Our Story

Built for the Days Nobody Takes Pictures Of

Somewhere in the nineties, everyday clothes settled into a shape that still works: a sweater with some room in it, over jeans that run straight to the shoe. Gonzhu carries that shape for men and women.

Loose on top and straight below means one relaxed half and one structured half. It holds up on a slow Sunday and on a Tuesday with three errands in it.

Shopping Across the Men’s and Women’s Cuts

Our knitwear and denim come in a men's cut and a women's cut, and plenty of people shop the section that is not labeled for them.

Doing it well comes down to knowing what actually changes between the two patterns.

Relaxed Jeans: Where the Room Should Go

A relaxed jean is not simply a bigger jean. It is room placed in particular spots and held back in others. When the room lands in the right places, the pair looks easy and deliberate. When it lands everywhere, it looks borrowed.
