Pants for Short Guys
Finding clothes that actually fit can be frustrating when you're under 5'10". Most mainstream retailers design for average heights, leaving shorter men with sleeves that are too long, pants that need constant hemming, and shirts that hang awkwardly. That's where Under 510 comes in. Short men have been excluded for far too long when it comes to men's pants, that's why we're here for you! Most retailers only carry inseams starting at 30" which is simply too long for half of men!
The Fit Problem
Why Regular Clothes Don't Work for Shorter Men
Traditional menswear is designed for men 5'10" and taller, creating multiple fit issues for shorter guys:
- Pants: Standard 30" inseams require expensive tailoring and hemming pants, but even after alterations, the proportions look off
- Shirts: Sleeves extend past the wrist, torsos are too long, and shoulder seams fall in the wrong place
- Jackets: Sleeve length, torso length, and button stance are all wrong for shorter frames
- Overall Proportions: Even when altered, clothes maintain proportions designed for taller bodies
The result? Shorter men either look like they're wearing their older brother's clothes or spend hundreds on tailoring that still doesn't achieve the perfect fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What height range are your clothes designed for?
Our clothes are specifically designed for men 5'4" to 5'9" (162cm to 175cm). If you're outside this range, our fits may not be optimal.
Do I need to get your clothes tailored or hemmed?
No! Unlike shopping at regular stores where you need to find a tailor for hemming pants and adjusting sleeves, our clothes are designed to fit perfectly without any alterations. This saves you time, money, and the hassle of finding a good seamstress or tailoring service.
What's wrong with just hemming regular pants?
When you hem regular pants, you're simply cutting off fabric from the bottom. This throws off the entire proportion of the pant - the leg opening becomes too wide, the taper looks wrong, and pockets may sit awkwardly. Our pants are cut with the proper proportions from the start.
How do your shirt sizes compare to regular brands?
Our shirts run shorter in the torso and sleeves compared to mainstream brands. For reference, our Medium fits like a shortened version of a regular Large, with proper shoulder width for shorter frames.
What if I'm between your target height range?
If you're 5'3" or under, you may still find some pieces work well, especially our shortest inseams. If you're 5'10" or taller, our clothes will likely be too short.
Can I return items if the fit isn't right?
Absolutely! We offer free returns and exchanges on all US and Canadian orders. If you're ordering for the first time, we recommend trying a few sizes to find your perfect fit.
Do you have a physical store?
Yes! Visit our fit store in Long Island, New York to try on our full range and get personalized fitting advice.
Why are shorter clothes more expensive than regular brands?
Shorter men represent a smaller market, so we can't achieve the same economies of scale as mass-market brands. However, when you factor in the cost of tailoring regular clothes (often $20-40 per garment), our prices are competitive and you get a superior fit.
What's the difference between your fits (slim, regular, etc.)?
- Slim Fit: Tailored through the chest and waist with a modern, streamlined silhouette
- Regular Fit: Classic cut with room for comfort while maintaining proper proportions
- Athletic Fit: Accommodates broader shoulders and chest with a tapered waist

- Monochromatic outfits create a longer, unbroken line
- Vertical stripes and patterns can add visual height
