I will begin by saying that I am blessed with a long (and solid) torso that simply does not wear off the rack. I have been wearing made-to-measure shirts and suits since college, with more bad than good experiences. Despite knowing my measurements and how to fit my body shape well, most of the "other" online MTM shops fail to accurately hit my measurements on the third, let alone first, attempt. For example, I wear my neck (collar) "back" (causes a "roll" beneath the collar that not only looks unsightly, it affects the shoulder slope and profile of a shirt). After several years of orders, my local haberdasher has nailed it; however, the shirts cost $300 and up and take 6-8 weeks. Enter Proper Cloth.
I took advantage of Proper Cloth's shirt guarantee on my first order, which, to my surprise, I received in less than 2 weeks. The shirt fit better than 95% of my other "online" MTM shirts. I emailed photos of the starter shirt. After a few emails, I made the requested adjustments on my shirt profile, and a new shirt arrived in less than 2 weeks, and the fit was damn perfect. My third and most recent order of 6 shirts arrived today. I refer everyone to Proper Cloth. Start with a $95 shirt, nail your fit, and then confidently order their finer fabrics (e.g., Thomas Mason Gold Line). You will be glad you did.
