Is Goodfellow & Co. GOOD for Short Guys? | Target Style Summer Try-On Haul

[@atlacatl7501]

That is cool, I went the other day and bought both of those blazers you tried on in size small. We are almost the same size but I think I'm a little wider so the blazers fit me pretty good with just a little tailoring on the sleeves. But you are right, not much for us shorter guys.

[@gentwithin]

Did you get the jackets tailored? I totally would've gotten the tan one, but it's just way too baggy for my liking. It'd be a real pain to tailor too, I imagine. Any other pick ups?

[@atlacatl7501]

Gentleman Within Those two blazers, which were on sale too and I did pick up some stone wash jeans, but they are way too long. Nothing tailored yet. The lady who does my tailoring is out of town. I can't wait to get everything adjusted.

[@gentwithin]

Nice...they really do have some good stuff for the price, shame it's not fit for modest men...

[@PicoFromTX]

I'm 5ft 9in, and their clothes still fit me very long. Their polos/t-shirts/ henleys fit me great up top, but fit me like a tall T at the bottom. Even after washing. I don't know who they're making their clothes for. The pants fit me fine though at the 29/30 size

[@gentwithin]

That's absurd...it's like you gotta be 6' for anything to really fit properly. They even have big & tall...

[@gentwithin]

You mention the pants fit you fine, how are they holding up?

[@stevee1414]

So where do you shop? What is the best brands for short guys?

[@gentwithin]

Best brands I know of are Peter Manning NYC, Ash & Erie, Sharp Casualwear, Banana Republic, GAP, Old Navy, Forever 21 Men's, H&M, ASOS, UNIQLO....All places I've shopped at as well.

[@rochakjain022]

which watch are you wearing, by the way?

[@gentwithin]

it's the Timex Weekender with a leather nato

[@FitManStyle]

Damn sucks, they do fit the Fit Man but I'll caution shrinkage after a couple of laundry cycles

[@gentwithin]

Yeah, I noticed, you've had some nice pickups from goodfellow

[@HyperObjeckt]

Huh, those shorts are pretty good. Disappointing about the shirt lengths but not surprising unfortunately 😑

[@gentwithin]

Hyper Objeckt true, I've had to reconsider about the shorts. They fit quite nicely for the shorter man. Where have you had success off the rack?

[@HyperObjeckt]

Ash & Erie shirts are my favorite fitting clothes off the rack, they fit exactly how I want with zero tailoring. My favorite fitting jeans right now are from Baldwin and Uniqlo, gotta love places that do small waist sizes and in-store hemming.

[@gentwithin]

Hyper Objeckt ash and Erie shirts fit really well otr, in my experience as well. Do you opt for the slim fits? I've got to look into Baldwin. I agree, got to love in store hemming service. Uniqlo has the best basics and some of my best fitting chinos I've had for years now.

[@jrthomas8846]

Very informative video bro. Was thinking about purchasing the shorts you tried on. Unfortunately there isn't a Target close to me and I'll have to order online. I'm a little shorter than you (5'5) and stocky for my height at 155 lb. I'm wondering if a 28 or a 30 inch waist would fit me based on the fit of the shorts. I wear a 30 in everything and like a slim/fitted short, yet not super tight. What size would you recommend? Thank you in advanced.

[@gentwithin]

Hey man, glad this was helpful. With your height and weight, I'd go with a 30 in. waist with Goodfellow. I'm sure they have free returns if it's not the best fit. Order multiples sizes if you can to ensure you nail the fit.

[@paulocampo5830]

What’s your exact height without shoes? Curious about your inseam length as well?

[@gentwithin]

5'5.5", 27 no break. 28 slim cuff.

[@Jesse-eh6ym]

Just because you listen to Kid cudi that made this video better

[@gentwithin]

yessir, cudi is dope.

[@pattgsm]

Ok folks, this is why you wash new clothes before wearing and always wear an undershirt when trying on clothes (c'mon bro 🤦‍♂️). The 7in shorts looked perfect on you IMHO w/o rolling, whereas the 9in just kisses the top of the knee (I'm also 5ft6in). I was more impressed with their polos than you were. The sleeve was just a tad long on you but not billowing and the tail was not offensively long... 🤔I think if you washed the polo on hot and ran it through the dryer once, the fit would be better. I was very surprised that the sport coats have working buttons on sleeves (the Khaki one does).The jackets look good but not worth a trip to the tailors. With my experience w/ the brand, I think that they make good shorts, chinos, and polos. Their poplin and denim shirts are very rough feeling.

[@gentwithin]

Yeah the blazer is nice for the price..liked the detailing. I usually don't like shrinking my polos, prefer a perfect fit from the get and just wash and hang dry. They've got nice pieces, it'd be nice if they had XS like most of the other big retailers. thanks for watching

[@pattgsm]

Gentleman Within You post great content with great advice so thank you.

[@gentwithin]

thanks my man...i really appreciate that
