Collection: Menswear

The Menswear Brand Story

Urban Industry has spent over two decades refining a menswear selection that prioritises manufacturing integrity and timeless design. This collection serves as a definitive destination for the modern enthusiast, bridging the gap between rugged utility and European sophistication. We focus on brands that offer a distinct narrative: from the "made in France" heritage of Kleman and the legendary craftsmanship of Paraboot, to the refined, contemporary minimalism of NN.07. Our curation ensures a seamless transition from functional workwear, provided by Carhartt WIP, to the sophisticated tailoring of Universal Works. Every item is selected for its longevity and ability to integrate into a modular wardrobe. Whether you require technical Heritage fabrics or premium leather footwear, our range represents the pinnacle of global menswear, featuring iconic labels like Beams Plus alongside emerging innovators.

Technical Deep Dive

• Footwear Construction: Our selection features high-specification construction methods including Norwegian welting and Goodyear welts. Paraboot utilises a unique Norwegian welt (cousu norvégien) which provides exceptional water resistance and durability by attaching the upper to the sole with visible stitching through a welt.

• Fabric Engineering: We stock NN.07 garments that utilise high-twist yarns and mercerised cotton, ensuring a cleaner finish and increased tensile strength. Look for technical wool blends and high-GSM (Grams per Square Metre) jerseys that maintain structural integrity through repeated wear cycles.

• Durable Outsoles: Brands like Kleman employ heavy-duty rubber lugged outsoles originally designed for public service and industrial sectors. these offer superior traction and oil resistance while maintaining a refined aesthetic.

• Specialist Finishing: Much of our collection features Garment-Dyeing and enzyme washes. This process ensures the fabric is pre-shrunk and develops a unique, lived-in character, particularly evident in the seasonal palettes of Universal Works and Beams Plus.

Our Take on Premium Mens wear

The current menswear landscape is moving toward a more considered, "elevated" version of classic streetwear. Our "Take" is to invest in foundational pieces that offer versatility. Pair the rugged, chunky silhouette of a Kleman Padror shoe with a relaxed, tapered trouser from Universal Works for a look that works across both professional and casual environments. Regarding sizing: Paraboot often fits large: we generally suggest sizing down by half a size from your standard UK shoe size for a secure fit. For NN.07, expect a modern, slim-to-regular Scandinavian fit: if you prefer a more relaxed "street" aesthetic, consider sizing up. This collection is perfectly suited for the temperate UK climate, where layering breathable natural fibres like wool and heavy cotton is essential.

Urban Industry FAQ

How does the sizing compare between Kleman and Paraboot? Both brands offer robust, heritage-inspired footwear, but the fit differs. Kleman typically fits true to size with a standard European width. Paraboot often features a more generous volume: many customers find that sizing down by a half or full size provides the best fit in models like the Michael or Chambord.

What makes NN.07 a "premium" menswear brand? NN.07 (No Nationality) focuses on high-quality fabrics sourced from world-renowned mills. Their commitment to detail (such as Japanese fabrics and Italian yarns) combined with a focus on "modern classics" ensures that their garments are built to last beyond seasonal trends.
