Jeans for Short Men: Peter Manning vs. Ash & Erie

[@Munkendrunky]

I know I'm late to the party, but think a lot of viewers could benefit from this tip. I'm a size 32x28. Last year, I swallowed my pride and started buying jeans from the kids department. Levi's 14 husky and Gap 18 husky both fit me great off the rack, have a variety of washes and cuts, and retail (at full price) for less than $45 pair! Between easily finding them on sale for around $10 - $20 off and getting to skip the tailor, this saved me a lot of cash when I dropped 35 lbs and had to replace my entire wardrobe - a good problem to have, I know. Hope this helps. All that said, this was still an excellent video!

[@mrvico001]

I’m glad Peter Manning NYC and Ash & Erie came a long way and now they offer a huge variety in jeans, shirts, jackets, coats, you name it. I’m a very happy customer with both companies.

[@Pyridius]

It'd be cool if we had a compilation regarding "Casual Shirts for Short Men" (like Oxford or something), then comparing between store brands, kind of like your older videos.

[@HeyItsJubu]

Pyridius please

[@BrockMcGoff]

The differences are subtle, but which pair would you buy?

[@rahmanpermana4741]

The Modest Man neither, too overpriced for me

[@BrockMcGoff]

I think you mean too "expensive" not overpriced ;)

[@donziceman]

Peter manning would be a good choice. Love the classic look. I wear american eagle skinny flex because of comfort, fit and stretch. Thanks for the video Brock!

[@andrewclark6822]

I would go with the Peter manning, just because I prefer the contrast stitching, but honestly I like both of them.

[@joshpembers]

I am going to order a pair from Peter Manning. I recently ordered a long sleeve shirt from Peter Manning and it is the best fitting shirt that I own. And with no tax (out of state), no shipping fee, free returns for money back or exchanges, what's not to like. So thank you, Brock.

[@omehk]

I have both. I prefer Peter Manning when I'm wearing a shirt un-tucked since I think they look better. I prefer Ash and Erie when I am wearing my shirt tucked because I think low-rise looks looks more modern and youthful when tucking in your shirt.

[@Apollo_Blaze]

I am 5'6" tall I weigh about 130# and I have a 29 inch waist...I ordered some jeans in a Big Boy's size 18 Regular and they fit perfectly ( most name brands also make a slim fit big boy's jean too)...Finally I had jeans that fit...the crotch is perfect and they are not baggy in the butt area. The ones I bought are name brand jeans, most brands make jeans for big boy sizes. Best thing is that they do not cost anywhere near 100 bucks. Finally I look good in jeans. They also make "husky" sizes for the guys a bit heavier. So glad I did it. The jeans I get are cut for a guy who is 65-66 inches tall, which is exactly my height. Try it guys.

[@ME970905]

Hi Brock, another high quality video being delivered! Could you do a video of long sleeve polo shirt (your thoughts on them/preferred brand..etc)?

[@EngineeredTruth]

Congrats on 100k subs. I aint ready for $300 jeans, maybe next year ahaha

[@BrockMcGoff]

Thanks man! And I think you might be ready....

[@CaptainMarvel007]

This may be a silly question, but if there is less material needed for a shorter inseam, why are these brands more costly when they don’t need extra material for longer inseams? Is it due to the lack of consumers, so they need to have bigger margins to stay in business or why are they so expensive? Thanks

[@pedrocols]

@@CaptainMarvel007 They are overpriced that is for sure. I own a pair of the Ash and they are made in China.

[@SirValeous]

Thanks again for a great video. Could you do a video of comparing jeans from different brands that are more affordable < $75?

[@danfonseca1286]

SirValeous I'd love to see that myself. I love Levi's for that price but find that their rise is too low.

[@aquillaspeed5554]

Awesome video! I prefer the peter manning jeans, non-stretch. I've had a some since they came out and wear them all the time. They are holding up well and look great.

[@SirValeous]

I've tried those but I felt their taper just wasn't quite right... it felt like the leg opening was too much.

[@draclyle]

5'2" here and I find Hollister are the great because they are low rise and fit best. I have tried Peter Manning and like Hollister better. I have not tried Ash.

[@jjfv702]

draclyle try Abercrombie

[@mickyhouse8753]

isnt low rise jeans bad for short men? I herd only the medium is best

[@andrewclark6822]

You rock Brock! ....But seriously this was a great video.

[@thomasbgage]

youre the man, Blake.

[@Christian-pn7sn]

Great video! I'm sure a lot of guys would appreciate a similar video using different Levis. (I know shorter inseams are a little harder to find)

[@BrockMcGoff]

Good idea!

[@tstew258]

I've bought a fair share of Levi, and I believe it wouldn't be very helpful. This is simply because Levi's quality control is... mediocre at best. I've bought the same pair of jeans from them numerous times, same size, and had them fit vastly different from each other. Some 30's are practically 32's, some lengths come shorter, some longers. Threads coming undone two days after moderate wear. I have a couple that work for me, but I've returned more levi jeans than i've kept. Also, being 5'4, finding a pair of 29's off their site that happen to be more of a 28 are the best luck i've had fit wise with them... they don't cater to people of more modest stature when it comes to length.

[@EscobarStyle]

I have YET to try some Peter Manning. Hopefully soon but my jeans are stacked at the moment. I’m a short guy myself so maybe I can squeeze in another pair lol. Great video 👍🏻

[@vishwajeetguleria5175]

Notification squad, love from india

[@mejungleeone]

Hey Brock always nice to you do good videos. Why do short men have to pay such high price for Jeans they should be more affordable for a all. That's my take on this.

[@progressivemusic786]

I like Peter Manning jeans better, i have couple of pairs from Peter manning, but Ash and Erie is too expensive. Peter manning and American Eagle extreme flex jeans are my most favorite lately.

[@adrianj9056]

Could you do a Polo shirt review for the shorter/smaller guy? Not many options out there. The best I have discovered are the RL slim fit. They are not sold widely in the US/Aus anymore, so I get them off the European website.

[@Scarecrow-zr3zx]

Adrian J try Uniqlo. They have the best fitting polos imo

[@msanchez0125]

I would go with the Peter Manning jeans, but it's hard to beat Levi's + a hem.

[@BrockMcGoff]

True!

[@SirValeous]

Agreed... affordable and a great fit!

[@razvantrambitas3716]

How much does a hem cost?

[@msanchez0125]

It costs around $15 near me.

[@eduardochozas7411]

Great Video and review. I have been waiting for it and you delivered! I wear the PM and am happy with them but always like to hear about other options. I notice the Levi's comment. What model Levi's works for the shorter, stalky, man?

[@sunnysideup9833]

Do you have a discount link to both retailers, super expensive .. thanks MM

[@gamingend6799]

What is 28*27 means Is 28 the outseam

[@rapmeister5242]

Hey man, great reviews! I'm just curious, what diameter are your pants' leg opening usually? Especially, when you have them tailored if they're not tapered enough . TIA.

[@SophiaM829]

Thank you very much for this info bro.

[@SophiaM829]

One question Brock...Did you go one size up on Peter Manning jeans? I wear size 30 should I go 31 on Peter Manning? Thanks.

[@BrockMcGoff]

I didn’t size up at all and they fit great.

[@jjfv702]

How tall are you?

[@kingsaldua4511]

Sooo underrated man :(

[@byKevinSamuels]

Good stuff Brock. Give me a shout back!

[@laurensmorales361]

Hey Brock, is there a reason why you went with 29x27 for the Peter Manning jeans? Do they run small/too skinny?

[@BrockMcGoff]

The vanity sizing is a little less aggressive than most major brands, so I’m sort of of between 28-29.

[@irfanhaque1921]

Do a shoe collection video

[@CatJuiceSays]

I thought denim is threads name to make a complete jean

[@ryanlee354]

120lbs after dinner lol that was funny

[@williamfowler3804]

Weird question, how many jeans can a guy own? I have three pairs. Also, great video. :)

[@minhan9057]

as many as you want tho

[@adrianj9056]

I think I have around 30 pairs. Though, I only cycle through 4

[@williamfowler3804]

Adrian J cool. Thanks

[@pattgsm]

My 2 cents... up until turn 16 the majority of pants are denim light wash, mid wash, dark wash, grey, black. Btwn 16 and 25 you start experimenting with chinos, corduroy, & wool blend trousers. Btwn 25 and up move on to silk blends, 100% wool trousers, mohair. As you curate these other elements to your style , you create more style options. At any phase, you can get away with only 2 pair of jeans: 1 mid 1 dark wash. Beyond that, one could add a grey and /or black but that is the stopping point as theses are the colors that are least memorable and you can wear very often and no one would question if you wore that yesterday. You can't do that w/ white, green, red yellow...

[@SahilKumar-oi1lg]

you r the best love from india

[@cornpuffs9621]

Or just Levi's... I'm 5 foot 6, and Levi's jeans fit pretty well, at their stores their jeans can be pretty short/small. More importantly, Cheap.

[@BrockMcGoff]

Levi’s plus a trip to the tailor is a great, affordable option. I like 510s.

[@ejm6122]

I love the P. Manning on your build, what is your wife's preference?

[@theflyingspaghettimonster0269]

Does anyone know were to find a leather jacket like he is wearing?

[@BrockMcGoff]

It’s from Peter Manning NYC 👍🏻

[@adrianmark613]

Make for shorter and muscular man version. This one is for shorter and skinny man

[@claudiasanders8372]

Ashe and Erie has a 35 inch waist but Peter Manning doesn't.

[@BrockMcGoff]

PMNYC has a 35” waist in many of their pants now!

[@claudiasanders8372]

@@BrockMcGoff Thanks. Looks like only one style but we ordered a pair.

[@biggreentruck4907]

Style tips for untall and nonwide guys. Good stuff. And, the topic of jeans is near and dear to my heart. But, let's be honest; the pants featured above are casual slacks that happen to be made from denim (or, a denim-ish material). They are not JEANS. I'm a blue-collar, working man. I need JEANS. I beat my jeans to death. I crawl under cars, trucks, and houses in my jeans. My jeans become intimate with grease, and mud. Also, I wear boots. Cowboy boots. Engineer boots. Tapered legs just don't cut it for me. I need that boot cut. I'm 5'6", and 115lbs. I'm also a long haul truck driver. My clothes need to fit right, so I don't look like a kid in Daddys clothes, playing trucker. I have also taken a wife, so I need to be ready to go to dinner, at the drop of a hat. (Married guys know what I'm talking about, here.) So, I need to be able to throw on a collared shirt, tuck it into the jeans that I'm already wearing, slip into a sport jacket, and slide out the door. (I hope the grungy jean look never goes out of style!) Typically, I wear Wranglers. They cost about $20 a pair, and I can abuse them like a rented, red-headed step-mule for about a year and a half. Problem is, they only kinda fit. A 29" waist will suffice, but 28" fits better. And, it's hard to find a 29; 28 is a unicorn. Plus, they tend to be tighter in areas that could be looser, and looser in places that could be tighter. I'd love to find jeans made for extreme abuse, for boot wearing men, that will fit me properly. Also, at a reasonable price. ($20- $40, a pair). Does anyone suppose that to be possible?

[@n.h187]

They are overpriced that is for sure. I own a pair of the Ash and they are made in China.
