John Elliott is a Los Angeles label founded in 2012 by John Elliott and Aaron Lavee, known for heavyweight fleece hoodies, curved-hem tees, tapered sweatpants and washed denim in tonal, drapey silhouettes. It showed at New York Fashion Week from 2015 and later in Paris, and drew a following among athletes and musicians including LeBron James, Kanye West and Justin Bieber. After closing three of its six stores amid financial strain, the brand was reportedly sold in early 2026 to Centric Brands and Kith cofounder Sam Ben-Avraham, who are planning a relaunch.

How John Elliott fits
| Category | Runs | Shape | Length | Size advice | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shirts & overshirts | true to size | relaxed to regular, often soft and unstructured | longer than average | Buy your normal size; only size down if you want a genuinely close shirt fit. | low |
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | true to size | structured but drapey heavyweight fleece; regular through the body with a slightly trim shoulder | regular to long, often with a slightly dropped shoulder | Stick to your usual numeric size for a clean fit, or size up one for a boxier streetwear drape and easier layering. | medium |
| Trousers & pants | true to size | relaxed through the seat and thigh with a defined taper (sweatpants and drawstring trousers) | regular, often designed to stack or scrunch slightly at the ankle | Take your usual size; the taper is snug at the ankle, so size up only if you have larger calves. | medium |
| Jeans & denim | true to size | slim to slim-tapered through thigh and knee on the core Cast fits | regular to long, often meant to be cuffed | Order your measured waist size — the slim fits have little give at first, so size up in the waist if you prefer room. | medium |
| Jackets | slightly small | trim through the shoulders and chest, tailored streetwear silhouette | regular, sometimes slightly cropped on bombers | Size up one if you plan to wear a hoodie or heavier knit underneath. | low |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly small | fairly slim through chest and sleeves, close-fitting once worn in | long — curved/anchor hems sit low on the hip | Consider going up one numeric size if you dislike a fitted chest, since the length is already generous. | medium |
