ThisFits.me interview with Peter Manning NYC founder — Aliotsy’s very-long interview with Peter Manning is worth reading and you should definitely check it out if you’re a guy who is 5’8” or shorter.
Peter Manning NYC isn’t for guys like me (tall, long-armed and skinny), but for shorter men who have trouble finding good-fitting clothing for their stature. Every once in a while I get a question from guys who fall into this spectrum and I’ve been unsure where to direct them, but now there’s an option. Go read the interview.

Put This On: A Conversation with Alan Flusser
In this special micro-episode of Put This On, we present a conversation with menswear expert Alan Flusser. Flusser has written the seminal American texts on getting dressed: Style & the Man and Dressing the Man. He’s also helped create a menswear iPhone app called BeSpeak. He runs Alan Flusser Custom in Manhattan, and famously dressed Michael Douglas for the film Wall Street. Alan’s not a designer or a tailor - he’s more like a consiglieri, guiding men towards their best appearance.
Alan’s expertise features heavily in our next episode of Put This On, but we thought we’d take this opportunity to introduce you to one of menswear’s great treasures.
His books are a really great, informative read and they’re quite approachable for anyone, no matter where they find themselves in their sartorial journey. While you can certainly read lots of menswear sites and blogs on the topic of style and dressing well, I think Flusser’s texts are well worth the purchase for the depth they bring the reader.
