What to know about Cole Buxton
Gym staples, brand-name volume off
The whole range works from athletic basics — heavyweight jersey sweats, relaxed tees, shorts, knitwear — with logos limited to small embroidery rather than large graphics.
Boxy, vintage-informed cuts
Fits are relaxed and squared off in muted colours, so pieces read closer to old gym kit than modern slim sportswear.
Basics priced above high street
Sweats and joggers sit in the mid-to-high tier, with Italian leather outerwear and more tailored pieces extending the range beyond jersey.

How Cole Buxton fits
Overall fit
runs large
Cole Buxton's heavyweight jersey pieces are cut intentionally oversized and boxy, so shoppers commonly report that their normal size feels a size or more too big and that sizing down gives a more wearable fit.
Tip: Most people take one size down from their usual, or stay true to size only if they want the full oversized gym-vintage look.

| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | runs large | very boxy and oversized, heavy loopback fleece | Take one size down unless you specifically want a cocooning oversized silhouette. |
| Trousers & pants | slightly large | relaxed to wide through the thigh, elasticated or drawcord waists on sweat styles | Stick to your waist size but expect a relaxed leg and consider a hem if you're under about 5'10". |
| Jackets | runs large | boxy, layering-friendly cut | Size down if you plan to wear it over just a tee. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | runs large | boxy with wide sleeves and a dropped shoulder | Size down one if you want a normal relaxed tee rather than a very boxy one. |

Brand facts
Cole Buxton is a British menswear label founded in 2014 by Cole Buxton and Jonny Wilson around an "athletic essentialism" idea: gym-derived staples stripped of loud branding. The range centres on heavyweight jersey sweatshirts, relaxed tees, shorts and knitwear, with Italian leather outerwear and more tailored pieces widening the offer. Cuts are boxy and vintage-informed, palettes muted, logos kept to small embroidery. The label sells direct online and through wholesale partners including END., and documents its operations through behind-the-scenes films and founder interviews.
