Finding clothes specifically for short men in Ireland is difficult. Men's clothes are generally cut for men around 6 foot tall, meaning alterations or lots of returns.
And it gets worse. If you search ‘clothes for short men in Ireland' you might be met with results from Adidas, Boohoo, and Next (as I was).
Spoiler: none of these actually contain clothes for short men. Google just likes Adidas, Boohoo, and Next.
The good news is there is an increasing number of clothing brands that do cater entirely for men under average height (such as ours, Ruler of London). There are also brands that offer shorter sizes (such as Asket). The less good news is that none are based in Ireland, but maybe that will change one day.
Below you can find a curated list of clothing brands for short men in Ireland, hopefully a bit more useful than Google. I've also included shipping costs to Ireland. And, partly because I just love maps, here's a map of the brands available.
Note: this list aims to highlight features and costs of each brand. Style is subjective, there's no right or wrong. And yes, I have put Ruler of London top, but then it's my website.
