After expressing some general interest in their web site after reading some reviews, I signed up and was not overrun with emails pushing me to buy. I got familiar with the site, checked out all the many different options, and got comfortable that I understood my choices before ordering. I took a little time - not a lot, but some - to make sure I understood how to best order to get a good fit, and the differences in fabrics. Having invested just that little bit of time, I easily built the first shirt I wanted. I picked all my personal tastes (French cuffs, upgraded buttons, etc.), and truly enjoyed the process of designing MY shirt. And that is the point - it is uniquely MY shirt. Department stores carry such a limited variety of shirts these days - TRY to find nice French cuffs in a non-tuxedo shirt. A little while later (a couple days earlier than promised) my shirt arrived. The packaging was nice but not overdone. I tried on the shirt, ironed it, tried it on again, then wore it to work. I have to say, I am pretty proud of getting the size right and very happy with the shirt I designed. Proper Cloth made all that possible and at a price that is ultra competitive with shirts of similar or lesser quality, nevermind the customization. Now that I know my shirt fits perfectly, I'm ready to branch out, order some more work shirts, and then try a casual shirt or two. Thanks for the fantastic experience and great shirt!
UPDATE - Ordered some Irish Linen pants and they are FANTASTIC. Comfortable yet dressy. My new favorite pants instantly.
