Source for folks of smaller stature.

Peter Manning is a clothier that makes clothes in smaller sizes from the ground up which makes a huge difference. I've had great finds and then trotted them off to the tailor for the obligatory sleeve shortening only to find that the collar is scaled too large or the pockets are too large or low. Starting with a different "last" < borrowing a phrase from shoe makers, can really change the appearance from altered to intentional.

They have size charts and graphs showing the difference. Not cheap, but not outrageous either, worth a look if it saves the cost and time expense of customizing to begin with.
