Welcome!

"Short Memo" is a forum for Consuelo C. Bova to share her knowledge about Men's Clothing. As founder and C.E.O. of ForTheFit.com (the nation's foremost short men's apparel retailer), she has learned a thing or two about Men's fashion- particularly as it relates to dressing shorter men. Her philosophy? "Men's fashion has less to do with the season's hottest trends or a man's natural good looks," she states "the secret is that any man, whatever his size or shape, can look amazing if he knows how to select the Right Style and the Right Fit for him." This blog will include style advice, tips, tricks and trends for making shorter men dress their very best.

Holiday Guide 2009 is Up! Golf Gear, Cords, News & Updates, Oh My!

Happy Fall! It is actually crisp (FINALLY) in Florida so we are enjoying the cooler weather and getting in the Holiday spirit! To that end, our much anticipated Holiday Gift Guide 2009 is here! It is chock full of new and already popular items- check it out! On the right side of our home page, you will also find our Holiday Shipping deadlines and a link for our special, Holiday return policy (we're giving you extra-time on purchases made after Nov. 1, 2009). Also new this year: for the last-minute shoppers, we've identified a selection of best-selling items available for immediate shipment, with guaranteed delivery by the 24th of December. Check out our Last-Minute Gift Guide here. When ordering from the Last-Minute Gift Guide, you may order as late as Dec. 21, 2009 at 12 noon EST and your order should arrive by 12/24! Yep- the Holiday Season is in full swing!

Speaking of "Swings," our micro-fiber, short-rise shorts and other specialty, athletic apparel in short men's sizes was highlighted in a Holiday Gift Guide in the St. Petersburg Times this week , "Golfer's guide to finding places that specialize in niche golf equipment," by Rodney Page. The article also included some small businesses that specialize in nifty, specialty items for the Golfer on our list- like left-handed gear, special carts, women's and children's clubs, accuracy-enhancing golf balls (and who, besides Tiger, couldn't make use of those!).

For those of you who love the fit of our Berle Short-Rise Chinos and Washable-Wool Trousers, our New Corduroy Trousers have arrived (Short-Rise, Short Inseam & New Colors this year!) . Enjoy your Holiday Shopping, but also remember to relax and enjoy this delightful season (can you tell it's my most favorite time of the year?)

Best.

Consuelo Bova,
CEO, ForTheFit.com
