What to know about Neighborhood
Biker and military codes, Japanese make
Takizawa filters motorcycle, punk, military and Americana references through Japanese production, so the outerwear and selvedge denim carry subculture cues with domestic construction.
Outerwear anchors the mainline
Waxed jackets, stadium jackets and souvenir outerwear are the core, alongside heavily branded sweats and tees using recurring skull, cross and Savage motifs.
A Harajuku institution since 1994
Three decades in, it runs sublines including kidswear ONE THIRD and plant-focused SRL, plus its own HOODS stores, and collaborates with names like Y-3 and Zero Halliburton.

How Neighborhood fits
Overall fit
runs small
Because garments are graded on Japanese sizing, a Neighborhood L commonly wears closer to a Western M, so the majority of buyers report needing to go up at least one size for their normal fit.
Tip: Most shoppers size up one from their usual US/EU size, and two sizes if they are broad-shouldered or plan to layer outerwear.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | runs small | regular fit with heavy loopwheel-style fabric that limits stretch | Go up one size, or two if you want the oversized look most people expect from streetwear sweats. |
| Shirts & overshirts | runs small | regular through the chest but trim in the shoulder and sleeve, often with work/military detailing | Size up one, particularly if your shoulders or biceps are on the larger side. |
| Jeans & denim | slightly small | mostly slim-straight and straight selvedge cuts, some looser five-pocket and workwear shapes | Take your measured waist rather than your vanity size, and expect raw pairs to relax about an inch after wear. |
| Jackets | runs small | close-to-body biker and coach cuts with structured shoulders; stadium and souvenir pieces are a touch roomier | Size up one, and consider two on leather or waxed styles if you intend to wear knitwear underneath. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly small | fairly straight to slightly boxy body, though older seasons read slimmer | Size up one for a normal relaxed tee fit; stay true to size only if you want it close to the body. |
