Short men's shorts, no cowards allowed
Who is still making short shorts? I'm a short guy who likes short shorts. A 5" inseam is too long, and only cowards hide the goods. I don't care about trends, trends led us to the faux hawk and horizontal striped polos and it seems like we're hurtling towards a revival and frankly? I'll be having none of that; I read Hudson's Guide To FTM Passing in 2009 and that was the "irreversible damage" they talk about these days, in my opinion, iykyk. Anyways,
my needs are simple:
• <5" inseam
• comes in black, I will die before wearing khaki (or any color at all, but khaki is enemy number one, for me)
• not athleisure, cutoff, or a swim trunk
• XS/27/otherwise small waist sizes
Is anyone brave enough to still be making something like this? Are there keywords I should be searching on ebay? I have been wearing the same cutoffs for nigh on ten years now and I am SICK of it. Let me show off my legs!!!

Getting married, looking to have a suit made!
Hello! My fiancée directed me here because because I'm lost looking for a suit for my wedding in May. I'd like to get one made/made to measure, and really want to impress my fiancée because she's really knowledgeable about menswear (a styleforums veteran!)
Pertinent info: I'm a trans guy and have a pretty small build—I'm 5'6, fiancée measured me and my shoulders are 14", chest is 35.5", waist is 27". I'm looking for quality more than for a specific budget—throw the good stuff at me and I can narrow things down based on what'll work best. If there's someplace good in Baltimore or the DMV that's even better, but I'm fine with ordering online and getting tailored locally! I just want my fiancée to be like, "wow your trouser break is soooo perfect and your jacket is exactly the right length 😍" on our wedding day and compared to her I don't know a thing about suits. Please point me in the right direction! I've gotta impress her! Man I love my (future) wife.
