Japanese label N. HOOLYWOOD has come together with California’s Ron Herman to create a simple capsule collection for Spring/Summer 2014. Although typically a casually styled brand, Ron Herman picks up some polish from N. Hoolywood in the form of a blazer, vest and slacks. Made from cool, comfortable linen, the pieces will be available exclusively…

The ‘shrunken’ blazer is a cut pioneered by Thom Browne, & much derided by sartorialists the world over. Still, it’s a look that’s solid when pulled off correctly, like this one from N.Hoolywood. The pattern makes the jacket even bolder, which is oddly appealing to us.
