Rated 4.9/5 by Discerning Guys Like You (under 5'9)

I ordered the Pima Cotton Quarter Zip in Chambray Heather, size small. I am very pleased with this. If you are a man of modest height, you know that finding sweaters, including quarter zips like this, are tough to find in a size that is not too long. I am very pleased with the fit. It is the correct length for a man of my height and it is not too wide. I'm also happy that the fabric has a high quality feel.

The perfect tee doesn’t ex…. It does, and it’s this one. Finally clothes that fit, and are super high quality. A+

These pants are so soft out of the package. I love the slight stretch that they have. Looking forward to more colors to order.

LOVE the Vest! Couldn't be happier with the Performance Vest. The fit is perfect - light weight and very comfortable, excellent quality. Also, the customer service was very responsive, helpful and friendly. Definitely an upgrade from other brands I've purchased. Perhaps most importantly, my wife loves the way it looks! :) BIG fan of this company!

Amazing Feel and Fit. Incredibly comfortable material and perfect fit.

1/4 Zip for Short Guy I have never been able to get clothes that fit correctly. Something is always too long...the body, the sleeves...something. FINALLY there is something that fits my shape. I also LOVE the M/L sizing. It gave me a little more room around my stomach but wasn't longer in the body or sleeves. I'll be buying more!

Well-proportioned pants. These pants offer a great fit. No need to have them hemmed; you can get the correct length right from the website. Other measurements also are sized correctly for the not-tall gentleman, including the rise and size of the pockets.

New clothing arrival Just opened my Nicholas James grey quarter zip pull over. I am quite pleased. The fit is phenomenal. I ordered the medium. The length of the body and the sleeves is perfect. I have been looking for something that fits my short stature but also allows some breathing space around my mid section. I am so happy to have found this company. Thank you Nicholas James!
