Why crewneck t-shirts fit poorly on short men
Standard t-shirts are cut for a man between 5'10" and 6'1". A man under 5'8" wearing a standard t-shirt gets a body length that falls too low and short sleeves that extend too far down the arm. The proportions are wrong before fit is even considered.
Todd Shelton cuts each t-shirt individually in the USA. Body length and sleeve length are selected at the time of order.
Body length for short men
Todd Shelton offers body lengths from 2 inches shorter than standard to standard in one-inch increments. Men under 5'8" typically wear 1 to 2 inches shorter than standard. 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.
Sleeve length 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.


For long sleeve, measure across the shoulders and divide by 2. Add the two measurements together. For example, if your sleeve length measures 25 inches and half your shoulder width is 9.5 inches, your sleeve length is 34.5 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 Standard or Fit check t-shirts first, then exchange for Keys to the factory.
