Frequently Asked Questions


Why should I buy from you?

I have taught, danced, and competed professionally for 6 years. In those 6 years, I had a frustrating time finding men’s dance clothing that looked and fit the way I wanted them to. I was paying $300+ for custom pants that had velcro closures on the waistband and a style that was from the mid-90s. The nicest pants I’ve owned took over 3 months to get to my doorstep.

When you teach and practice 30-50 hours per week, you really wish stuff like getting pants was a much easier thing to do. Thus, the Line M Clothing Company was born. All our products are designed after that world-champion look. From the choice of crisp material, to the sewn in creases, to the unique belt loops, our stuff is designed to look great while being as versatile and wearable as possible. No other men’s dance clothing company offers products with the same details.

I’m so confident that you’ll love our stuff, that we back all of our standard items with, not a 100% money-back guarantee, but a 110% guarantee. You won’t find that anywhere else.

How do I know what size pant or shoe to order?

For Pants:
Take a tape measure and wrap it around your midsection at or just below your belly button. This is where the pants should sit. Pull the tape so it’s snug, and take note of the measurement. This is your size. If you happen to be in between sizes, then take a look at your legs. If you have thinner or “average” thigh thickness, go down a size. If you’ve got more muscular thighs, go up.

For example, I measure a size 31 just below my belly button. I have average legs and I wear size 30 in jeans, khakis and dress pants. Size 30 Line M pants fit me perfectly, save for being a little snug in the waist. Size 32s are too large.

Regardless, you can take them to a tailor to tweak them just right. The pants are built to be taken in or let out up to an inch.

Also, in terms of length, the pants come with an unhemmed 36" inseam. Long enough for the freakishly tall. Yao Ming tall.


For Shoes:
Go to a shoe store or target and try on Pumas or Converse sneakers. I wear size 8 in both Pumas and Converse and a size 8 in our shoes fit me perfectly. If you’re still in doubt, go with a 1/2 size up.

How do I take care of my pants or shoes?

For Pants:
They are designed to be pretty low maintenance. Just machine wash them in cold water and hang dry them. Then iron them at as low a temperature as possible. Also, don’t slide around on the floor wearing them, or any pants for that matter.


For Shoes:
Just pick up a quick shine brush at Target or Walmart and they’ll look nice and shiny for a long time. For the soles, Shoe Glue tends to do the trick quite well.

How about alterations?

As these are off the rack pants, they need to be hemmed before you can wear them. Take them to a tailor and bring whatever dance shoes you plan on wearing with them. Tell the tailor to hem them up about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch above the floor while you’re wearing your shoes.

A good tailor can also take the pants out and bring them in as necessary.

Now, for most of our customers, nothing but a hem needed to be put in for the pants to look and fit nicely. If you are a procrastinator and have a competition the day after you receive your pants, here’s what you can do to get by without a tailor:

  1. Find 8 small black safety pins. (Target or Walmart)
  2. Put the pants on and roll up the right leg to where it needs to be and pin it so it doesn’t move.
  3. Take the pants off and flip them inside out. Fold the left leg up so that it matches the right side’s length and pin it in 4 places.
  4. Unpin the right side and redo it to match the left.
  5. Flip the pants right side out and iron the creases in. This should carry you through the comp until you can have them properly hemmed.

Do you offer any other sizes?

Right now, even sizes from 28 to 40 is all we’ve got. We just don’t have enough demand to carry anything smaller or larger than that.

How long ‘til I get my order?

We normally ship USPS Priority on the next business day. For example, you order on Monday night. Your items will go out Tuesday and you should receive them by Friday at the latest. For legality’s sake, I’m going to say that shipment takes 3-5 days, but on the hush-hush, many of our customers get their orders in 2-3.

What shipping options do you have?

We only ship via USPS Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation. We don’t use UPS or FedEx and we don’t overnight packages.

Do you ship internationally?

Unfortunately, we do not. We only ship to the United States.

I’m confused about this 110% return policy. Explain.

Most people find this confusing, but it is exactly what it says. If you aren’t happy with your order you can, within 60 days, return your items (undamaged, unaltered, and in resalable condition) and get 100% of your purchase price plus 10% on top of that.

We’ve been selling pants since 2007 and we’ve had only a handful of customers return anything, and most of those people ask us to refund them 100% not 110% (most people are really nice). But, a deal is a deal and we always make good on our 110%.

Why would I offer such a crazy thing? Because we get so much great feedback from our customers, that I’m pretty much willing to lose money to get you to just try our stuff.

There is one caveat. If you do decide to return something, we reserve the right to withdraw the 110% return policy on your future orders. Meaning, you’d get your 110% refund for the thing you’re returning, but 4 months down the road when you realize that our stuff is pretty sweet, you’re only backed by a 100% guarantee.

Also, if you make a habit of ordering and returning, ordering and returning, we reserve the right to refuse future orders.

How do I exchange for another size?

It’s not a problem at all. As long as the items are in resalable condition, you can exchange them within 60 days.
