Tailoring Brands for Short Men
Hello, I’m looking for brands that sell RTW suits and sports coats that are small enough for shorter men. In terms of quality, I’m looking for something along the level / tier as The Armoury or The Anthology.
In particular I’m looking for a soft shoulder, lowish buttoning point, and medium to generous lapels.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

To qualify my actual problem, the ideal jacket length for me is about 28-28.5 inches, and most 40s seem to be longer than that. I would definitely consider MTO or MTM but want to see if there’s any good RTW options I don’t know about yet!
Do you have pics of jackets you own that are too long?
28.5" on a 40 sounds vvv short to me but if that's def what you need then MTM might be the way to go
I can certainly take pictures of the jackets I own. I’m 5’3; the length of my collar to the ground with shoes on is 56 inches, divided by two is 28. I don’t know if that’s a reasonable way for determining length tho, that’s what I read on someone’s recommendation here.
Im also reasonably athletic so indeed, 40 chest and getting closer to 41 by the day 😄
It's a decent ballpark but it just depends on your proportions
Yeah, I’m reasonably sure I have pretty standard limb and torso length for my height
