The Ace Collection brings together five everyday pieces for men: a drawstring trouser, slim fit jeans in four colourways, two relaxed fit printed shirts, a regular fit printed shirt, a graphic tee and an embroidered sweatshirt. There's no single colour or print running through the whole range. Instead, the Ace Collection leans on fit and detail to carry the look, a slim jean, a looser shirt, a bold print or an embroidered finish, so each piece pulls its own weight rather than repeating the one next to it. That makes it easy to buy one piece to build an outfit around, or a few at once that already work together. Here's a closer look at what the Ace Collection includes, how the fits differ, and how to put the pieces together.
Jeans make up the largest share of the Ace Collection, all in the same Hawk Slim Fit Plain Jeans style across four colourways, dark navy, navy, off-white and black, so you can pick a wash without changing the fit underneath it.
Shirts bring in the collection's print-led identity. The Relaxed Fit Decorative Print Shirt and the Relaxed Fit Geometric Print Shirt both sit in a looser cut, while the Regular Fit Digital Print Shirt runs closer to the body for anyone who prefers a slightly more fitted shirt over a relaxed one.
A single Regular Fit Graphic Print T-Shirt covers the tee end of the range, built to wear on its own or layered under a shirt. The Relaxed Fit Embroidered Sweatshirt is the one proper layering piece in the collection, finished with embroidery rather than a print.
Rounding it out, the Casual Elasticated Drawstring Trouser is the only bottomwear piece outside denim, built with an elasticated waist and drawstring so the fit doesn't depend on a belt.
Fit varies by category rather than following one rule across the whole collection. The jeans run in a Hawk Slim Fit, cut close through the leg without being restrictive, the slimmest fit in the Ace Collection. The two relaxed fit shirts and the embroidered sweatshirt sit looser through the body and sleeve, built to layer over a tee or wear open rather than tucked in. The digital print shirt and the graphic tee both come in a regular fit, sitting between the slim jeans and the relaxed pieces, close enough to tuck in but not as fitted as the denim. The trouser's elasticated, drawstring waist means fit sits more in the waistband than in the cut itself, giving a bit of built-in flexibility the jeans and shirts don't have.
Knowing which fit you prefer before you browse narrows the choice quickly here, since the Ace Collection doesn't repeat one fit across every piece the way a single-style capsule often does.
Print is where this collection makes its biggest statement. The decorative print shirt and the geometric print shirt each build their pattern around a different visual idea, one more ornamental, the other built from repeating shapes, while the digital print shirt takes a different approach again, with a design that reads more graphic than a traditional woven pattern. The graphic print t-shirt brings in a third style of print altogether, built to be the obvious focal point of whatever it's paired with.
The embroidered sweatshirt skips print altogether and uses embroidery for its detail instead, a raised, stitched finish rather than a flat printed one, which gives it a different texture to the touch as well as a different look. The jeans stay plain by contrast, with no print or wash detailing, so they work as the one piece in the Ace Collection built to sit in the background rather than stand out.
Jeans come in four colourways: dark navy on the Digo style, and navy, off-white and black on the Korv 25 style, giving a spread from darker, smarter-looking denim through to a lighter off-white pair. The shirts stay mostly in white, with the decorative print and digital print shirts both on a white base, while the geometric print shirt comes in dusky purple, a softer, more muted shade rather than a bold one. The t-shirt is in dark brown, and the sweatshirt and trouser are both black, the only two pieces in the collection sharing an identical colourway.
Across the jeans, the shirts and the rest, the Ace Collection leans toward neutral, wearable shades rather than bright or seasonal colours. That keeps most pieces easy to mix within the collection itself, rather than tied to one specific pairing.
None of the pieces in the Ace Collection run in an obviously oversized or undersized way based on their fit names, but sizing can still shift slightly between a slim fit jean, a relaxed shirt and a regular fit tee. Checking the size chart on each individual product page is worth doing before you order, since a size that works for the Hawk Slim Fit jeans won't necessarily carry over to the relaxed sweatshirt or either regular fit piece in the same number.
The trouser's elasticated waistband gives it a bit more flexibility at the sizing stage than the jeans, which have a fixed waist and work more like a standard pair of denim. If you're ordering the jeans alongside a shirt or the sweatshirt for the first time, checking both size charts separately is a better approach than assuming one size carries across the whole order.
Because fit and finish vary piece by piece rather than repeating across the range, the Ace Collection works reasonably well as a small capsule rather than a set of near-identical options. One pair of jeans, worn with either print shirt, the graphic tee or the sweatshirt, already gives three or four distinct looks from two purchases. Adding the trouser brings in a non-denim option for days the slim jeans feel like too much, while the sweatshirt adds a layering piece that none of the shirts or the tee are built to do on their own.
Buying the full collection isn't necessary to get the benefit of this approach. Picking the jeans as a base and adding one or two of the printed or embroidered pieces covers most of what the range offers, without ending up with five pieces that all do the same job. The sweatshirt also gives you a warmer option to reach for on days the graphic tee alone isn't quite enough.
The slim jeans work as the easiest starting point, pairing with either print shirt worn open over the graphic tee, or on their own with the tee tucked in for a simpler look. For a slightly dressed-up take, the regular fit digital print shirt buttoned up works better with the jeans than either relaxed shirt, which are cut looser and read more casual by design.
The embroidered sweatshirt is the piece built for layering, over the tee on a cooler day, or on its own with the jeans or the drawstring trouser underneath. The trouser pairs most naturally with the sweatshirt or either shirt rather than the graphic tee, since its more casual, elasticated waist sits closer to off-duty wear than the tee's bolder print does.
If you're building one outfit from this collection rather than buying every piece, pairing one printed item with the plain jeans is the simplest route, since the jeans are built to sit in the background rather than compete with a print of their own.
The printed shirts and the graphic tee do best turned inside out before washing, since this keeps the print from rubbing directly against other clothing in the wash and helps it stay sharp for longer. The embroidered sweatshirt benefits from the same approach, turned inside out so the stitching isn't pressed against other garments while it washes.
Beyond that, checking the care label on each individual piece is the most reliable way to wash and dry everything in the Ace Collection correctly, since fabric composition isn't confirmed to be identical across every item and specific instructions will vary accordingly. Air drying rather than tumble drying is generally gentler on printed and embroidered finishes, helping both the print and the stitching hold their shape over repeated wears.
From a single pair of slim jeans to a full look built around the sweatshirt, the trouser and one printed piece, the Ace Collection gives you a handful of distinct options rather than one repeated style. Check the fit description and size chart on each product page, and build outward from whichever piece, the jeans, a shirt, the tee or the sweatshirt, fits how you actually plan to wear it.
The Ace Collection is a men's edit from The House of Rare built around five pieces: a drawstring trouser, slim fit jeans, two relaxed fit and one regular fit printed shirt, a graphic tee and an embroidered sweatshirt, each with its own fit and finish rather than one style running through the whole range.
Yes, every piece in this collection, including the trouser, jeans, shirts, tee and sweatshirt, is designed for men.
The jeans come in a Hawk Slim Fit, two of the shirts and the sweatshirt come in a relaxed fit, the digital print shirt and the tee come in a regular fit, and the trouser uses an elasticated, drawstring waist rather than a fixed fit.
Yes, all four jean colourways in this collection use the same Hawk Slim Fit cut, the slimmest fit across the range.
The Relaxed Fit Decorative Print Shirt and the Relaxed Fit Geometric Print Shirt share the same loose cut, but differ in pattern and colour, the decorative print sits on a white base, while the geometric print comes in dusky purple.
No, based on the pieces in this collection, it covers a trouser, jeans, shirts, a t-shirt and a sweatshirt, with no jacket or outerwear piece included.
The jeans come in dark navy, navy, off-white and black, the shirts come in white and dusky purple, the t-shirt comes in dark brown, and the sweatshirt and trouser are both black.
Pairing one printed piece, a shirt or the tee, with the plain jeans is the simplest way to build an outfit, since the jeans sit in the background rather than compete with a print. The embroidered sweatshirt works well layered over the tee or worn on its own with either the jeans or the trouser.
Yes, each piece has its own product page and can be bought on its own, so there's no need to buy the full collection to pick up one shirt, the tee or the sweatshirt.
The Hawk Slim Fit jeans are the most versatile starting point, since they pair with every shirt, the tee and the sweatshirt in this collection. If you'd rather lead with a standout piece instead of a base, the embroidered sweatshirt or either print shirt works well on its own with jeans or trousers you already own.
Turn printed shirts, the graphic tee and the embroidered sweatshirt inside out before washing to protect the print or stitching, and check the care label on each piece individually, since washing instructions can vary by product.
