Only NY is an independent New York City clothing label founded in 2007 by Micah Belamarich and Julian Goldstein, high-school friends from the Upper West Side who debuted with five understated, tongue-in-cheek graphic tees. Collections draw on the city, the outdoors and the arts: logo and illustration tees, fleece, corduroy, rugby shirts, utility outerwear, caps and accessories. The brand operates retail in Manhattan and Brooklyn and designs official product with NYC agencies including Parks & Recreation, the Department of Sanitation, the MTA and NYC Tourism + Conventions.

Overall fit
slightly large
Most shoppers report Only NY runs roughly true to size but with a deliberately relaxed, slightly roomy cut, so garments wear a touch bigger than mall-brand equivalents.
Tip: Take your usual size for the intended relaxed look, or size down one if you prefer a trimmer, closer fit.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | slightly large | relaxed, dropped-shoulder fleece with a generous body | Stick with your usual size unless you want an oversized look, in which case size up one. |
| Jackets | slightly large | utility-oriented and cut with layering room | Go true to size for layering over a hoodie, or down one if wearing over just a tee. |
| Shirts & overshirts | slightly large | relaxed camp/utility and rugby cuts with room through the chest | True to size works for most; size down if you plan to wear them buttoned and fitted. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly large | boxy to relaxed with a wide-ish shoulder and midweight-to-heavy cotton body | Order your normal size for the intended boxy look; size down if you want the tee closer to the body. |
| Trousers & pants | true to size | relaxed straight leg, roomy through the thigh | Take your measured waist size; the leg is already cut roomy so no need to size up. |
