Men 5'7" and under
Short Kings by ownthread
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.

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
Tell us your height and, if you know them, your chest, sleeve and inseam. Each garment starts from a proven pattern and we grade its lengths and proportions to your numbers. You can also send a photo of a garment that fits you well. A technical designer reviews every order before anything is cut.
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.
Short Kings is made by ownthread, where anyone can design their own clothes and have them made for real.
