Lafayette White Twill by Proper Cloth

President Spread Collar

Our new and improved version of our most popular collar. We designed this to be a truly premium modern spread collar with timeless proportions.

Long One Button Cuff

A slightly longer version of our one button barrel cuff. Fused. Great for for guys with longer arms.

No Placket, No Pocket

The front of the shirt simply folds back on itself for a cleaner yet less structured look.

Roma Buttons

A beautiful off-white faux mother-of-pearl button. Made from a high quality plastic resin. Very durable.

Change any of these shirt details, add a monogram, chest pocket, and more by customizing this shirt.

A luxurious twill that's perfect for the office or a big event.

The white shirt is the keystone of your closet, and this one is an incredible value. Woven with a soft 80s 2-ply fine twill construction, it has a very subtle bit of shine that increases the vibrant white color. Because the weave is fine, it appears totally clean and without texture from a distance, and the twill weave allows it to drape better than a plain weave would. Perfect for a President Spread collar and a rounded two-button cuff for the office, or a French cuff if you plan to wear it more formally.

Notice after a couple dry cleanings, the buttons show through at the bottom of the collar, same goes for the wear. Once the day comes to an end. The collar gives and becomes… wrinkled”

How do I get started?

First, welcome to Proper Cloth. We specialize in custom dress shirts, suits, jackets and pants.

The first step would be to create a size using our Smart Size Quiz. We’ll use your answers and data from thousands of satisfied customers to generate custom dress shirt sizes in your account.

To order, you can browse our gallery of curated, pre-styled options and purchase them, made to order in your custom size (and style, just click ‘Customize’ to modify).

You can use our Design-A-Shirt tool to create a custom designed shirt from scratch, selecting the fabric and all style details (collar, pocket, buttons, etc), before applying your custom size! We highly recommend only getting one shirt to start so we can lock down the Perfect Fit (Guaranteed!).

How long does it take to have a custom shirt made?

Standard finish, casual wash, and non-iron shirts generally take 12 to 14 days to produce and deliver. In all cases, the promised delivery date range at checkout should be accurate (if not slightly conservative). Click here to see our typical delivery times based on product.

Orders including shirts with any style of Mother of Pearl buttons must undergo special Fish and Wildlife inspections that may cause delays. For this reason, the expected delivery date range will be extended by an additional 14 days.

Can I change the collar or cuff style? Can I add a pocket? Short sleeves? etc.

As a made-to-measure shirtmaker, we offer a wide variety of style features. Proper Cloth shirts can be styled with any of our 30+ different collar styles, 12 different cuff styles, and one of our 9 different pocket options can absolutely be added.

Just click the 'Customize' button next to any of our pre-designed, photographed shirts to edit the design however you wish!

Short Sleeve shirts can be ordered by specifying as such under the Cuff/Sleeve section of the Design-A-Shirt tool.

Do you offer rush delivery?

Rush delivery is not available for custom made products. With ready-to-wear and stocked products, we have a little more flexibility.

More details on our Shipping services here.

Still have a question? Get in touch

Our Perfect Fit Guarantee

If you’re not entirely happy with the fit of your custom shirt (or anything else about the shirt) you can return it to us for a complimentary remake in a new size or style. We excel at making remakes quick and hassle-free. If remaking the shirt doesn’t suit you, you can also return the shirt for a full refund.
