Short and lean men - what brands make winter coats and fleece sizes that have sizes for men smaller than the traditional S size? I’m 5’4” and pretty slim, can’t seem to fit a since fall jacket and a winter coat that fits. TIA

Buy asian or European brands. They tend to run smaller

Uniqlo also has great stuff

I’m a shorter dude as well but stalkier build. People have recommended Peter Manning NYC due to their specification in smaller and shorter clothing. I don’t own any though so I can’t provide any feedback on quality or fit. Looking to try them next time I buy clothes.

Yikes. 5’4 male. Must be hard to find clothing.

I’d imagine that if you can’t find anything from Express or Uniqlo in the XS size that it’s all gonna have to be custom made. Typically you can get waist tapered in and such, but not much can be done about the height since shortening a piece will throw off proportions.

Canada Goose has a fusion fit (fancy name for asian fit) thats shorter in length and slimmer than their normal sizes

Ted baker has some great slim fit jackets

You can also ask a tailor to recommend a specific type of cut that they can tailor appropriately. Basically looking at the stitching so it doesn’t look weird if they hem the length and arms.

Everything looks better tailored anyway.

Prada, Thom Browne, APC all make sizes in EU 44 (XS, 0)
From any other brand simply take a size S jacket to the best tailor you can find in your city

I joined a corporate firm as a multi year experienced paralegal. It seems however that I am not necessarily welcome by other paralegals in the Dept., a few negative comments to partners about me. Obtaining assignments feels much like a popularity contest. Any advice on overcoming the negative vibes? My fear is that there is a negative reflection about me and the managing partner doesn't seem open to me, even though I haven't had the opportunity to work for him or the others yet.

Im grateful. My job isn’t perfect, but I genuinely feel grateful to have landed in-house (after being partner at one regional firm my entire pro life before that), particularly when I read what others post about their day to day. I’ve never had nearly as much career satisfaction as I have since the switch, and I recognize how few quality in-house gigs there really are (even if we have some lunatics within our department (just as I did back in firm life)). That’s it. Just grateful.
