nicholas james was born from a lifelong passion for premium menswear and a desire to solve a problem often overlooked by the fashion industry. It all began in the golf shops of private country clubs, where our founder, Nick, spent his early years immersed in a world of high-quality apparel. These spaces were more than just retail environments—they were places where he cultivated an appreciation for premium craftsmanship and timeless style. After college, he took his passion further, becoming an Assistant Golf Professional at a club in Darien, Connecticut, where he managed the retail operation and honed his expertise in men’s apparel.

Eager to deepen his knowledge, Nick transitioned into a role as a sales representative for a premium menswear brand. Here, he worked with specialty stores, major retailers, and golf clubs, gaining a firsthand understanding of the industry’s nuances. It was during this time, while helping launch a Big & Tall division, that Nick recognized a significant gap in the market—there was no equivalent dedication to shorter men.

As someone standing 5'6", Nick knew the frustration of searching for well-fitting, off-the-rack clothing that met the standards of the premium brands he admired. He wanted high-quality garments that reflected the sophistication of pro shops and specialty stores but tailored to his stature.

Fueled by this insight, Nick set out to create nicholas james: a brand that delivers exceptional craftsmanship, timeless design, and—most importantly—a fit that empowers shorter men to look and feel their best. Every piece is thoughtfully designed to meet the unique needs of men under 5'9", blending premium materials with impeccable proportions.

nicholas james isn’t just about filling a gap in the market—it’s about rewriting the narrative. It’s about ensuring shorter men have access to clothing that doesn’t compromise on style, quality, or fit. Because every man deserves to feel confident, comfortable, and represented.

Welcome to nicholas james—where proportion meets perfection.

Anyone have experience with Dirty Coffee - popularized in Tokyo? I just started playing around with making them at home, and would love to hear of tips and tricks. 

I think my vessel should be slightly wider. What else? Does a bottomless Portafilter make a big difference? Right now, I'm brewing into a measuring cup and the pouring over. Might be nice to brew straight into the chilled glass.

Thanks to all the #coffee lovers for any advice!
