In this hands-on Under 510 review, I’ll try on a few items from this niche brand to see how everything fits and feels.
AI01
Under 510 is a relative newcomer to the shorter men’s clothing space. Brands like Jimmy Au’s, Ash & Erie and Peter Manning NYC have been serving this niche audience for years, but Under 510 aims to be a modern and affordable alternative.
At the time of writing, Under 510 sells jeans, chinos, shorts, button up shirts, casual shirts (tees, polos), sweatshirts, joggers, stretch dress pants, and a handful of accessories.
Their prices are substantially lower than the competition, ranging from $35 to $75 with various discounts for bundled purchases.
For example, their button up shirts are $30-40 each, depending on how many you buy. Ash & Erie and Peter Manning button ups are closer to $100 each.
So, if you’re under 5’10” and on a tight budget, this may be a good brand to check out.
Of course, price isn’t the only factor to consider. Let’s talk about the fit, aesthetic and quality of Under 510 clothing.

This is sort of a dress-casual hybrid shirt. It’s constructed like a dress shirt – spread collar, no placket, no pocket – but it’s made from a weighty, textured Oxford cotton.
The length is good for wearing untucked. I could tuck this in, but I think it come untucked throughout the day.
To me, this feels like a casual OCBD with some dressy details. I’d wear it on its own or as a layering piece, mostly untucked.
Under 510 Kingston 2.0 Jeans
These are listed as slim, tapered jeans. To me, they fit like most “skinny” jeans from contemporary brands.
These are a bit more form fitting than, say, Levi’s 511, but not quite as tight as Everlane or Express skinny jeans in the same size.
