I have two binders from underworks, both the double front compresstion vest, one shorter and the other the longer version. Ive noticed that the newer ( longer) one just doesnt bind as well anymore.

The sizing is different on each Underworks model. If the short binder you're talking about is the 983 and the long one is the 997, then, yes, the short one will be smaller than the long one if they are the same size; for example, a medium 983 is made to fit someone with an average chest measurement of 34"-36" whereas a medium 997 is made to fit someone with an average chest measurement of 35"-39". This site explains how to measure and translates that into sizing for each model: http://ftm.underworks.com/.

these are the exact same binder. the 997 was shorter before, than they added 4" to the bottum so it chould be better tucked into pants. i made sure to measure myself 4x before i ordered, but it just seems the new one is breaking down alot faster than the older (shorter) one.

Ah, sorry, when you said one was shorter than the other, I thought you meant they were different models. No clue then, sorry. Maybe they _should have_ changed the sizing when they changed the design. . .

I have a black tri-top and a white one. The black tri seems to stretch easily, while the white seems to bind well. It is very weird.
