Best buttondown shirt brands for shorter folks

[abrocketsfan]

I'm looking to get a buttondown shirt, maybe an OCBD even, but I wanted to get some suggestions on which brands cut their shirts a bit shorter.

I've looked at JCrew's smalls and those are about 2 inches too long for me, but their XS is too tight to wear. I tried on BoO as well, as those fit nicely everywhere except for the length.

Any suggestions? I'm 5'7" btw

Have you considered ordering MTM shirts from one of the many websites that does this? It's really not that expensive and you'll be able to get exactly the length you want.

How are BoO too long? How many inches in length are you looking for?

I highly doubt there is a brand that consistently cuts their shirts shorter than Band of Outsiders unless Thom Browne starts making belly shirts.

Are you some sort of circus freak? The torso-less man perhaps?

MJK makes shirts that are a few inches shorter than JCrew's.

MJK's are great

p.s. it costs like $5 to shorten a shirt

Uniqlo shirts are great for me and I'm short. Depends on what the material is though.

Outstanding post!

Actually, I think what happened with BoO was that I couldn't even try on the small because the medium was going to rip at the pits and shoulders, so I had the image of the medium in my head when I though about length
