It’s been a busy few months over here, and we’ve got a lot of new pieces in the pipeline. Some are updates to core styles based on your feedback, others are brand-new additions we’ve been wanting to make for a long time. As always, all the clothes shown here are designed specifically for shorter men. Legs and sleeves are shortened, details like pockets and collars are scaled, and measurement points are adjusted for a flattering fit for short men. These are the clothes short men want, brought to you by Abbreviated. And with that, here's a look at everything we've been designing for the brand lately:
Work Pants
We gave our work pants a material upgrade—still 100% cotton, but with a denser weave that’s slightly lighter and a lot more durable. We also adjusted the fit, adding room in the hips for better mobility.
New colors: Black, Stone, and Peat.
Chore Coat
Built from the same fabric as the work pants for a full set you can wear together or apart. We also tweaked the sleeve length after hearing from customers that they wanted a little more coverage.
New colors: Navy, Stone, and Peat.
Baggy Jeans
You asked—we answered. One of our most requested styles is finally here. Classic baggy jeans made from 100% cotton denim.
Washes: Light Wash and Black.
Twill Overshirt
A new staple. Heavier than a typical shirt, lighter than a jacket—rugged but still soft. Inspired by classic workwear, this shirt is great as a layering piece or worn on its own.
Colors: Sandstone and Shadow.
Standard Straight Fit Jeans
We’re introducing a new “Standard Straight” fit to give you more options between slim and our currently available straight, which leans a bit loose. It’s got a light stretch and a balanced silhouette that aligns more with other straight fit jeans in the market. Once we introduce these, we'll be offering:
- Slim
- Standard Straight
- Our current straight will become Loose Straight
- Baggy
Standard Tee
A new everyday tee with a slightly slimmer fit than our heavyweight version. Mid-weight cotton blend, that's shrink resistant, buttery soft, and made to wear on repeat.
Sweater (Fall Preview)
We’re still dialing in the fit, but we’re excited to give you a sneak peek. 100% cotton shaker stitch with a premium texture. Finding sweaters that fit shorter guys is a challenge—and tailoring knitwear is nearly impossible—so this is one we’re really excited to get right.
Everything (except the sweater) will be dropping over the next few months, so keep an eye out. Thanks for all the feedback—it’s shaping how we design, every step of the way.
