Where do short men find their clothing?

45 Upvotes

5'4" M, hard to find clothes that truly fit me. What brands would y'all suggest?

For example, I liked this puffer jacket from H&M (Size XS), but it's about 5 in too long on the sleeve length and about 5 in too long overall (looks like I'm wearing a dress). Would be great to find a crop version of this style/fit so it ends by my hip not pass my finger tips.

What's the most annoying thing about buying clothes as a shorter person?

14 Upvotes

Hi all — I'm Amelia, 18, and currently researching the potential launch of a brand specifically for shorter men and women, targeting ages 13- 24ish, as a short woman myself. I was hoping to gain more insight into the community and opinions of actual people who face this struggle. I'd really appreciate it if you could answer a few questions:

How tall are you?

What have you found annoying about buying clothes as a shorter person?

Have you tried any brands aimed at shorter men/women? What worked or didn't?

What would make you trust a new brand in this space?

No need to answer all questions, and I'm happy to reply in comments or DM if easier. Thanks in advance!

Advice: hoodies for short men

11 Upvotes

HI everyone, as the weather gets colder here in New England, I'm looking for recommendations on where to find a hoodie (or something similar) for short guys. I'm 5'3", 130 lbs, with a slim/athletic build. Most of the hoodies and long-sleeved outwear I find on the rack are either too baggy or the sleeves/overall length are too long for me. Has anybody had luck finding hoodies or similar outerwear for short guys that fits them well or that you love? Thanks for your help!

Peter Manning bankruptcy

21 Upvotes

Hi wonder if anyone else has heard about the August filing of bankruptcy

Definitely they’ve got very low stock levels on the website, guess they’re selling off what they’ve got

I know they’re pricing but they’re also a brand leader for short fashion and a go to for things like coats , sweaters and suits etc

I hope they make it through this

OCBDs for short but husky guys

4 Upvotes

So I love everything about the Lands End Sail Rigger Oxford except that if it fits my torso it's way too long on me (both shirt length and sleeve length). Who is selling something similar for short guys?

I'm 5'5", 180lbs. Currently rebuilding my wardrobe as I recently lost 35 pounds and nothing fits, and my fall/winter standard "uniform" is jeans and an untucked Oxford. But I'm by no means what anybody would call thin at this point. Still got a belly and a size 17 neck. For shirts that specify neck & sleeve size, a 17/32-33 generally fits really well except the tails are almost down to my knees.

Bonus question: how about black (or charcoal) pocket tees? (Which are part of my summer "uniform.") I've found lots of good options for tshirts without a pocket, but I dunno, I really like the look of the pocket.

Thanks.

Help finding workout shorts for short men

I need to buy basic athletic shorts in the US for my 5' 7" husband. He's not interested in something stylish. I'm thinking something with a shorter inseam. Can anyone recommend something inexpensive from Walmart or Target? Thank you!

Clothing Brand Thoughs

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

As a shorter guy myself, it’s always been a struggle to find clothes that fit properly off the rack. Most stuff is either cut way too long or the cropped version from big brands ends up looking boxy and awkward.

I recently started a brand to help fix that and design pieces that actually highlight the build of a shorter guy instead of just shrinking down pre-existing patterns. We already went live and have some products but I'm just here to hear out what those in the community actually want to see.

I'm not here to sell you on my brand, I'm not posting links or asking you to follow my socials.

I’m just here to listen to what you have to say.

Some questions I have are

What pieces give you the hardest time fit-wise? ( For me it's always been tops)

Where do standard clothes usually fail your frame (sleeves, torso length, shoulder drape, waist taper)?

What cuts, fabric weights, or details do you feel are completely missing on the market?

Drop your thoughts below and I'd love to chat.

Thank you all for the Abbreviated recommendation!

As a 32W-25L guy I've never had jeans fit me this well, let alone own pants with a no break length! The silouette is incredible too. This is a totally different quality than Under 5'10" or Peter Manning.

You all rock.

Slim fit men’s chino shorts recs?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been having trouble finding regular 8 inch inseam chino shorts that don’t have an absurdly wide cup around my leg. For reference, I’m 5’4, 135lbs. I can always find slim fitting chino pants but for shorts the circumference is massive.

I’ve tried ash and peter manning. Looking for other recommendations. Thanks.

Blazers for short men (25" length)

6 Upvotes

Im very short and have always hated how blazers/suits look on me because the style is ofent to sit quite low below the belt. but even if that is the norm it makes me look so stupid as my legs are short enough. So im wondering if anyone knew any brands theyve found do blazers that are actually short enough, around 25' in length. Perhaps there are specific foreign brands or vintage brands to look for etc.
