Short Kings
For men 5'7" and under.
Every piece on this shelf is proportioned for a shorter frame: body length, sleeve length, collar, pockets and rise are scaled together, so nothing has to be hemmed, rolled or tucked to look right.
Found the one you want, but nobody cuts it for 5'7"?
Send a photo or a screenshot of the garment. We make it with the body, sleeves, rise and details scaled to your frame, and a technical designer checks every order before anything is cut.

Why normal sizing fails
- A size S is a shorter man's width on a 5'10" man's length. Sleeves run long, hems hit mid-thigh, and pockets and collars stay full size.
- Tailoring shortens hems and sleeves but cannot move a pocket, shrink a collar, or raise a hoodie's kangaroo pocket.
- Brands built for shorter men are few, mostly basics, and rarely offer a specific garment in your fabric and color.
How we get your fit

Questions
Is this made to measure?
It is made to order to your proportions. We adjust the pattern's lengths and proportions to your numbers before we make it.
What if it does not fit?
A piece with a price lists what happens if it misses. For the others: if a delivered garment misses the promised fit, we remake it or refund you.
How long does it take?
A piece with a price lists its timing. For the others, timing is confirmed after technical review and sourcing.
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.
Short Kings is made by ownthread, where anyone can design their own clothes and have them made for real.
