“31 years ago, Jimmy Au’s set out to make a difference
in the lives of shorter men by providing them with the same
fashion opportunities and designer style choices as their
taller counterparts,” said Alan Au, son and Vice President
for Jimmy Au’s. “Short men know all too well the
pain and difficulty of finding smaller and shorter sizes.
Most have long been relegated to wearing ill-fitting, altered
fashions designed for the larger man, making them actually
appear shorter than they really are. As we celebrate our 31st
Anniversary of being in the short men’s clothing business,
Jimmy Au’s looks forward to carrying on our excellent
tradition of providing quality service and clothing to an
even wider audience.”
