Stantt Review: Better Fitting Ready to Wear Dress Shirts
Update (April 2017): Since this review, Stantt has refined their sizing system to better fit the shorter man. One of their new sizes fits me very well.

You know that the way your clothing fits is crucial, and you know how hard it is for a shorter man to find clothes that fit properly off the rack.
This is especially true for dress shirts. The torso and sleeves are usually several inches too long. For example, look at this photo (selfie?) of me trying on a “small” button down made by Calvin Klein. It’s way too long!
Plus, for thin guys, even “slim fit” dress shirts are often too baggy.
One way to find better fitting dress shirts is to buy custom shirts. While this can be a great solution, it’s typically more expensive and time consuming than buying ready to wear clothing.
And if you aren’t careful, you can waste lots of time and money. This is especially true when buying made-to-measure shirts online. Most MTM companies require you to submit your own measurements, which is easy to screw up (even if you know what you’re doing).
Then after you place your order, it takes 3-4 weeks to actually get the shirt. And half the time it doesn’t even fit properly.
For this reason, many men will never try MTM clothing, and I can’t really blame them. It’s not for everyone, and it really can be a hassle.
(Although, for the record, made-to-measure can be a wonderful option if you have the time and patience.)
This is why I wanted to review Stantt, a new menswear company that’s sort of a cross between made-to-measure and off the rack. Supposedly, they’re the best of both worlds.
In their own words:
Stantt is NOT another custom-shirting company. What makes Stantt different is that we offer premium button-ups in 75 ready-to-wear sizes.
With only 3 easy measurements (in less than 2 minutes), our DataFit algorithm finds his perfect size. Most of our sizes ship within 24 hours.
