Standard t-shirts are cut for one body type
According to the CDC, the average American man is 5'9". Industry standard t-shirts are cut for a man between 5'10" and 6'1". Men under 5'8" account for 30% of the population. Standard t-shirts run too long, too boxy, and too big on short men. Todd Shelton makes t-shirts in shorter body lengths, in-between sizes, and slim fits for every t-shirt in the collection.
Shorter t-shirt length options for short men
Todd Shelton offers body lengths from 2 inches shorter than standard in one-inch increments. Men under 5'8" typically wear 1 to 2 inches shorter than standard. As a general guide for untucked t-shirts, the hem should fall at the middle of the zipper. Full body length measurements are in the size chart.


Measure from the top of the shoulder seam straight down to the bottom hem.
Short and long sleeve length options for short men
Todd Shelton offers sleeve lengths starting at 32 inches and increasing in one-inch increments. Men under 5'8" typically wear a 32 or 33 inch sleeve. For short sleeve, Todd Shelton offers a standard length of 9 inches. 8 inch short and 31 inch long sleeves are available in Keys to the factory, a made-to-order order method.


For long sleeve, measure across the shoulders and divide by 2. Add the two measurements together. For example, if your sleeve length measures 23 inches and half your shoulder width is 9 inches, your sleeve length is 32 inches. For short sleeve, simply measure down the sleeve from the top of the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
Sleeve lengths shorter than 32 inches
For long sleeves, 31 inch sleeve length is available through Keys to the Factory, a made-to-order method with no returns. For short sleeves, 8 inch sleeve length is available. 3" shorter body length is available. New customers should establish size and fit through a Standard t-shirt or Fit check t-shirts first, then exchange for Keys to the factory.
