T shirt question

A basic question about T shirts…the undershirt kind. DH has lost so much weight-and height-. that his size large T shirts are way too large now. The T shirts are very roomy and so long they come below his hips. When I get him dressed I am stuffing all this extra material in his pants so it doesn't hang below the outer shirt. If I buy a size medium undershirt , will it be shorter as well as not so wide? The "wide" part isn't much of an issue, but the length is too much. Do they make a "short" size for men?

    There are undershirts you can get for men who are shorter like under 5’8”. If you google undershirts for short men you will find quite a selection. My husband has shrunk so much that I’m able to purchase clothing in the junior boys section of most stores.

    You

    Might also try small men's or even boys sizes could work.

    I would cut off the bottom of his current t shirts.
