Here\u2019s why and how:<\/p>\n<h2>We&#8217;ve Got Your Size<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve never said, \u2018we can\u2019t fit you\u2019 to a customer. We\u2019ve heard men say, \u2018I can\u2019t wear your clothes, they\u2019re not made for people like me.\u2019 This is an incorrect assumption. Size isn\u2019t our focus, we\u2019ve got your size. Our focus is great fit, in any and all sizes. And the value we provide as fit experts, is our ability to tweak sizing to give you a garment you\u2019ll wear religiously.<\/p>\n<p>We are an anomaly in the fashion industry. No other brand makes its entire collection in an <a title=\"Todd Shelton Factory\" href=\"https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/about\">in-house factory<\/a>. We have more than a decade of studying and testing pant and shirt fits\u2014and most importantly, we have our factory where we make specialized fits a reality.<\/p>\n<p>The reason the brand exists comes from Todd\u2019s interest in how clothing changes the psychology of the wearer. With the right clothing, a person\u2019s self-esteem rises. With the wrong clothing, a person\u2019s self-esteem drops. We firmly believe in the old adage \u2018the clothes make the man.\u2019 Few products can change the self-esteem of a person more than clothing. Therefore, if our product raises our customers&#8217; self-esteem, we\u2019ve done meaningful work.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to wear Todd Shelton, but think you can\u2019t, reach out to begin a fit discussion: <a href=\"mailto:support@toddshelton.com\">support@toddshelton.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Photo credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/toddshelton.us1.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=5c6bbb833818fdb71be31100f&amp;id=48abb8f44a&amp;e=60972523ae\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RZWf2_2L2v8<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since our first order in 2002, we\u2019ve asked one question more than any other&#8230;\u2018how did it fit?\u2019 And more than a decade later, this culture of listening and accommodating, has made us fit experts and helped create the industry-leading fit options we offer today.
