Brand profile
Independent Wuhan label by Liang Dong making modular, utility-driven menswear, with collaborations including UGG, Puma, Vans and Gap.
4 brands like Attempt like POST ARCHIVE FACTION, Konundrum, OAMC →

Jackets and technical shirting are the core, with modular panels, adjustable fastenings and shifted proportions rather than surface graphics; palettes stay muted.
Founded in Wuhan in 2015 by Liang Dong, it has made apparel and footwear with UGG, Puma and Vans, plus a Gap capsule in 2024.
Manufacture by Attempt covers easier casualwear such as plaid stand-collar shirts and balloon-cut trousers, away from the main line's deconstructed tailoring.
Overall fit
mixed
Pieces are typically cut with an intentionally oversized, utility-driven silhouette, but because the label uses Asian sizing the numeric tag tends to feel smaller than an equivalent Western size, so experiences split between 'true to size but roomy' and 'had to size up'.
Tip: Treat the tag as Asian sizing and check the garment measurements per piece — many shoppers land on their usual size or one up in outerwear, but slimmer technical shirting can require sizing up.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | true to size | relaxed, slightly boxy through the body | Take your usual size for a relaxed fit, one up if you want it clearly oversized. |
| Shirts & overshirts | slightly small | technical shirting that reads straighter and narrower than the outerwear | Consider sizing up if you want the relaxed look shown on the runway, especially coming from Western sizing. |
| Trousers & pants | mixed | utility cuts spanning straight, wide and panelled silhouettes | Go by waist measurement rather than the tag, and expect to adjust or hem the inseam. |
| Jackets | slightly large | boxy, modular outerwear with dropped shoulders and volume for layering | Most people can stay at their usual size since the cut already carries volume; only size up if you layer heavily. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly small | boxy but scaled to Asian sizing | Sizing up one is the safer bet for Western frames. |
