SUBCREW is a Hong Kong streetwear label founded in 2004 by actor Sam Lee with partners Frankie Cheung Chin-pang and Kobe Chan Ho-cheung. Its name fuses "submarine" and "crew", and the range runs from military- and workwear-derived outerwear to side-pocket and cargo work pants, graphic tees, bags and headwear, with graphics built on submarine and military iconography. A diffusion line, Crew by Subcrew, is carried by retailers including HBX, while the brand sells through its own UNITY boutiques in Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China.

Does Subcrew Hong Kong run big or small?

Subcrew Hong Kong runs small. Most Western shoppers should size up one (and two if you want the intended oversized streetwear drape or plan to layer). Shoppers generally report Subcrew garments follow Hong Kong/Asian sizing, so a labelled L often wears closer to a Western M, with the styling itself relaxed and utility-driven rather than slim.
