Men 5'8" and under who wear 2XL to 5XL
Big & Short by ownthread

Why normal sizing fails
- Big-and-tall assumes big means tall. A 3XL adds inches of length with the width, so hems reach the thigh and sleeves cover the hands.
- Regular 3XL is the same pattern scaled up in every direction, sleeve and body length included.
- Alterations can shorten a hem, but the pocket, placket and collar stay where the big-and-tall pattern put them.
How we get your fit
Tell us your height and chest and, if you know them, your waist, sleeve and inseam. Width comes from your chest and length from your height, independently. Sizes above 2XL are graded from published big-and-tall rules and reviewed by a technical designer before sampling.
Questions
Is this made to measure?
It is made to order to your proportions. We start from a tested pattern, adjust its lengths and proportions to your numbers, and a technical designer reviews the result before sampling.
What if it does not fit?
We sample first and make it right. If a delivered garment misses the promised fit, we remake it or refund you.
How long does it take?
Made to order: typically several weeks from deposit to delivery, confirmed with your order.
Can I change the design?
Yes. Customize opens the garment in our studio where you can change color, fabric, details and artwork. Your fit is kept separately, so design edits never undo it.
Big & Short is made by ownthread, where anyone can design their own clothes and have them made for real.
