I have a huge neck and a normal sized body with "sloping shoulders" ("big traps" sounds better I guess - maybe I should say that instead). Off-the-rack 17 1/2 x 33 shirts always take a ton of tailoring to look rok for me because they are gigantic in the shoulders and mid-section. By the time they are re-worked, the pocket is in a weird location and the fit is just bizarre. And, the added cost of reworking them makes them expensive.
Some years ago, I started having bespoke shirts made, and it was a whole new world. But, the expense and the wait were the downside. With Proper Cloth, I uploaded the measurements I knew, answered some questions about my body type, picked a fabric, and - believe it or not - an almost perfectly fitted shirt showed up on my door two weeks later. With my next shirt, I tweaked a couple of little things (different collar, bigger cuff on my watch side), and everything is perfect. Ordering is easy, the website presents a pretty good representation of the fabrics, the service is fast, and the shirts fit great. Couldn't ask for anything more.
