Does the Clothing Industry Ignore Shorter Men? % %
Clothing retailers in the U.S. blatantly ignore men under 5'8". Need proof? Check out these photos. Then read on to find out what you can do about it.

Article is from 2013. This has been going on for some time now.

This is similar to how clothing for thin males has been more difficult to find and the average size pertains to either fat men or regular size males.
It's consistent with the predominant social view in the last few years that by default males are either fat and need to hit the gym or acceptably in shape, with skinny or hard-gainer males not even coming into the picture.

Highlights from the 2013 article:
Most of these shirts would fit perfectly if I were two or three inches taller, and there are plenty of guys who are shorter than me. I mean, this is crazy. “Small” and “medium” clothes don’t fit small and medium men. You know who they do fit? 6 foot 2 models:
Is it unreasonable to think that a size medium should fit the average adult male, who is roughly 5’9″ and 180 lbs., rather than a 6’2″ guy with a model’s build? Wouldn’t it make more sense for a someone who is five inches above average height to wear a large, or even an extra large?
If medium sized clothes fit 6’2″ males, and small clothes fit average males, then what about small males? The bottom line is:
If you’re below average height, you will be hard-pressed to find anything that fits properly off the rack in the vast majority of American clothing stores.
Takeaways and relation to inceldom: More proof that society would rather sweep the existence of nonchad males under the rug and try to only highlight good looking men that women find attractive as the minimum standard for the average male.
Simultaneously society is trying to cover up and memoryhole the existence of nonchad males and at the same time demonize the ones that aren't silent (incels).
