Last Sunday there was an article in the “Bergen Record” entitled, “Short Guys’ Clothing Stores Thinning Out.” The article detailed the decline of short men’s retailers in the marketplace.  After reading the article, I wanted to spread the word that SYMS carries a wide range of sizes including those that accommodate short men.  In the article the author, Sharon Bernstien, quotes 5-foot-2 Actor Ben Giroux: “You’re either walking into a boys department somewhere and you’re swallowing your dignity, or you can shop at one or two places.” Additionally, Bernstien quotes Gary Stevens, one of the world’s best-known jockeys and the actor who played jockey George Woolf in the movie “Seabiscuit,” “It’s really hard to find things that fit and are comfortable and look nice.”  Well Mr. Giroux and Mr. Stevens, SYMS is here to help with a wide range of sizes that sets us apart from other off-price retailers.

For example, SYMS carries reasonably-priced, designer suits for short men ranging in size from 36 short to 46 short.  Also, SYMS offers on-site expert tailoring for all items purchased at SYMS – so if you don’t find the right fit off the rack, we’ll make it fit! Some of our suit selection includes: a tan single-breasted 3-piece suit with ivory pinstripes by Oleg Cassini — retail price $240.00, SYMS price $119.00; a taupe single-breasted 2-piece suit with flat front slacks by Jones New York — retail price $350.00, SYMS price $199.00; a black single-breasted 2-piece suit by Ralph Lauren — retail price $400.00, SYMS price $219.00; a modern fit, navy blue, single-breasted, 2-piece suit with navy pin stripes and flat front pants by Calvin Klein — retail price $595.00, SYMS price $259.00; a gray, textured, modern fit, single-breasted suit with flat front pants by DKNY — retail price $595.00, SYMS price $295.00; and a black and white small hound’s-tooth, single-breasted, 2-piece suit by Burberry — retail price $695.00, SYMS price $499.00.
