For example, look at these A.G. “Matchbox” pants:

The fade sinks below my knee, and the back pockets dip down to my thighs. Simply put, these pants were made for someone bigger and taller than me.

The blue shirt is made by Bespoken. It’s a small, but the sleeves are at least two inches too long, and the breast pocket sits too low.

Together, all of these little problems produce an overall “hand-me-down” effect (trust me, I’m one of six kids, so I know hand-me-downs very well). Simply put, I don’t feel comfortable in these clothes.

This Life After Denim button up fits better than the Bespoken shirt, but the sleeves are too long and baggy, and I’m not willing to pay to have them cleaned up.

The short sleeved Vince henley is way too long. I don’t know who this shirt is made for, but it’s definitely not me (or any “small” man, in my opinion).

Conclusion

Sadly (but not surprisingly), I’m packing up all of these clothes and shipping them back to Trunk Club headquarters. The quality and design is there, but they just don’t fit. I am leaving detailed feedback for my stylist and hoping for better results with the second trunk.

Stay tuned for the third and final part of this series, and make sure to sign up for the newsletter so you don’t miss it.

P.S. Did you know I wrote an ebook? It’s an in-depth guide full of style tips for shorter gents who want to dress well by wearing clothes that actually fit. It’s like this blog, but more organized and very thorough. If haven’t grabbed your copy yet, definitely check it out.
