For short men, the hardest part about dressing well is finding clothes that fit. If you’re like me, trips to the mall usually end in frustration. It’s almost as if the clothing industry hates short men…

Online shopping is just as bad. Unless you know exactly what you’re buying, it’s always a gamble. You have to wait days or even weeks to try something on, and oftentimes it doesn’t fit.

UPDATE (July 2018): Unfortunately, it looks like Fitbay has gone out of business. Too bad!

Sure, online stores post photos of men modeling their clothes. But you want to know how something will fit you, not some 6’2? model who’s built like a Greek god.

And yes, sometimes you can read reviews from other guys who already own whatever you’re looking at , but this isn’t very helpful either. You don’t know what kind of body type do the reviewer has. Are they built like you?

Probably not.

A while back, I was reading reviews for this jacket I wanted to buy, and I remember thinking:

It would be great if every review included the person’s height and body type.

Now that would be helpful, don’t you think?

Introducing Fitbay

Well, someone else had the same thought, and they ran with it. I’d like to introduce Fitbay, an free tool that helps you find clothes that actually fit.

I was skeptical when I first heard about Fitbay, but I’ve been using it for a couple of months now, and let me tell you: it’s a game changer for us modest men.

It’s free, and it’s very easy to use. When you sign up, you enter in some basic info about your body type. Things like height, weight, shape, etc. It’s all anonymous unless you choose to make it public.

I made my stats public so anyone can see. Check out my profile:

Follow me to see all of my best-fitting clothes.

Creating your profile takes less than two minutes. There’s no measuring involved. You just answer five simple questions about your body type.
