Slight and Mighty

Hey I’m D! I am the 5′ 3″ founder of Slight and Mighty.

I have spent the last twenty years of my life rummaging through the small sections of clothing racks, shyly trying on “husky” size boys clothes, and scavenging for asian clothing sizes online.

In the end, I have painstakingly assembled a wonderfully fitting wardrobe that I am proud of. And I am here to share everything that I have learned with you, my fellow Bonapartes!

I have been a short guy my entire life. What some see as a disadvantage, I see as a super power. I remember trying out for the basketball team my freshman year of high school– I wanted to make the cut so badly! Sadly, it’s hard to make a good impression when your jump shot gets blocked every single time. So, after the coach dealt me the sad news that my talents were not needed in South Beach, I joined the wrestling team! It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I finally got to square up with an opponent on equal footing, and I crushed it.

My wrestling success helped me build my confidence and taught me that height is only a disadvantage if I let it be. Sure, I still have a hard time reaching the upper shelves in my kitchen, but at least I can stretch out my legs on an airplane while others are hunched over like gremlins. Always look on the bright side!

Being short doesn’t mean that you have to make sacrifices. I have an amazing job negotiating multi-million dollar aerospace deals, a stunning wife (my friends still don’t know how I managed that one), and a wardrobe that I am very proud of. I believe that everyone has something special within them, and being the best dressed person in the room can help accentuate that awesomeness.

So I built this website to show my fellow short kings that we should all reach for heavens, and even if we fall short, we will be superbly dressed.

Be strong, stand tall, be Slight and Mighty.
