Under 5’10

Under 5’10 is an affordable alternative to other premium brands for shorter guys. While there were some quality control issues like loose threads, the fit of their clothes was excellent, which is a rare find for guys of a more modest height.

johnnie-O

johnnie-O has brought The Hamptons to the West Coast, featuring Cali Prep styles that feature high-quality construction and fits that look great from turf to surf. I’d love to see some more original pieces from the brand, but their pieces fit their niche to a T.

Tobacco Motorwear

Of all the brands I’ve reviewed, Tobacco Motorwear is one of the best I’ve seen. They have a very specific aesthetic, and if you’re not into it, you’re not into it. But if you need protective gear for riding and you want it to look stylish, I don’t know of any other brand doing what Tobacco does. And for their lifestyle clothes and bags, the materials are all excellent and the fits are on point.

32 Degrees

32 Degrees offers a complete range of affordable activewear products, with some hitting the mark more than others. Their tees and sweats are a great value, but their packable down puffer knocked it out of the park for me.
