C2H4 is a Los Angeles label founded in 2014 by Shanghai-born designer Yixi Chen, who named it after the molecular formula for ethylene. The brand builds a retro-futurist, science-referencing menswear language around technical outerwear, layered knitwear, distressed and coated denim, utility cargo pants and graphic jersey, usually in washed greys, off-whites and industrial tones. Collections run as chapters of an ongoing narrative rather than seasonal resets. Chen also operates the production studio Chemist Creations, and C2H4 pieces have been worn by Billie Eilish, Post Malone, The Weeknd and Kylie Jenner.

Does C2H4 run big or small?

C2H4 fits slightly large. Most shoppers take their true size for the intended oversized look and size down one for anything close to a normal fit, but check the garment measurement chart since sizing is drafted on an Asian-leaning block. C2H4 pieces are generally cut oversized and long in the body, so the label reads a touch large on the average Western frame, though the underlying block is Asian-based and can feel narrow in the shoulders or waist on larger builds.
