What to know about Noah NYC
Noah is an independent New York menswear label run by Brendon Babenzien and Estelle Bailey-Babenzien, with a SoHo flagship on Mulberry Street plus stores in Los Angeles, London and Tokyo. Collections mix skate, surf, punk and Ivy references: graphic tees, rugby shirts, Donegal wool sweaters, herringbone sack suits, CPO overshirts and five-pocket denim, with sourcing transparency and activist causes central to the business. Recent projects include a Barbour collection for fall 2025 and repeat Puma work. Babenzien left J.Crew's men's creative director role in February 2026 to focus on Noah.
The pieces that define Noah NYC
Pleated Trousers
Full-cut pleated twill trousers anchor Noah's skate-meets-Ivy tailoring, the trouser that pairs with its sack suits and rugby shirts alike.

Overall fit
slightly large
Noah generally cuts things fuller and boxier than mainstream contemporary brands, so most shoppers find their usual size fits roomy rather than tight, with a vintage-preppy silhouette.
Tip: Take your normal size for the intended relaxed look, but size down if you want anything close to a trim fit.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | slightly large | relaxed, heavy-weight and slightly oversized | Take your usual size; only size up if you want a very oversized drape. |
| Jackets | slightly large | relaxed, layering-friendly outerwear and softly structured tailoring | Take your normal size, as most pieces already leave room for a knit underneath. |
| Jeans & denim | true to size | relaxed straight five-pocket with a mid-to-high rise | Stick with your usual waist; expect a relaxed straight leg rather than a slim one. |
| Shirts & overshirts | slightly large | boxy camp-collar, rugby and CPO cuts with generous body room | Size down if you're between sizes or want a cleaner line, as rugbys and overshirts run especially roomy. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly large | boxy with a wide chest and fuller sleeve | Size down one if you prefer a fitted tee; stay true to size for the intended boxy skate look. |
| Trousers & pants | true to size | full, higher-rise Ivy-style cut | Order your measured waist and plan on hemming the leg. |
