OCTOBER 2024
"This button-up shirt comes in lots of fetching prints, and it’s made from a supremely smooth cotton twill with a hint of stretch, which provides greater range of motion and keeps wrinkles at bay. It’s available in three different cuts, with neck and sleeve sizing that allows for a noticeably better fit."
"Today, Proper Cloth's proprietary-fit technology is the heart of its business model, delivering the brand's distinctive fit, fabric, and design through a short, easy-to-answer questionnaire. But that streamlined process had to be honed over years of trial and error. And since this was a company of one until 2012, Skerritt by necessity became something of a jack-of-all-trades—including a self-taught clothier—alongside his rudimentary tech skill set."
"Having a black suit in your fall arsenal is non-negotiable. Take this structured version from Proper Cloth. Of all the new made-to-measure brands we’ve tried, it’s by far the best."
"No detail is overlooked. All seams are flat-felled. The collar is reinforced with hearty antique brass stays. The pair of front pockets are pattern-matched. The double-layered split yoke creates a more form-fitting shirt over the shoulders and adds subtle western flair. The side seam is double-backed at the hem for extra durability and closes down the front with ½-inch buttons. Taken all together, the Jackson is decidedly well-finished."
"Corduroy pants, the cooler-weather cousin to chinos, offer more formality than jeans but are more casual than wool trousers. Pair them with a more tailored top to balance the casual texture of the pants."
"Can't decide on just one color for your suit? Well, as it turns out, you don't have to. Proper Cloth's sharp take on a peak lapel tuxedo comes in a rich shade of blue with black lapels and detailing. It's the perfect tux for a father-of-the-bride who's looking to stand out in a sea of black tuxes."
"Face it, we could all up our fashion, we just don't often have the time or inspiration. That's where an outfit like Paper Cloth comes in, setting the subscriber up with great finds and a refreshed closet."
"Fall isn't here. Not yet. But you can feel it coming and every now and then we're getting blessed with temperatures that are a little cooler. Crisp nights and still plenty of air conditioning mean that now's the time to re-introduce the long-sleeve polo to your wardrobe."
"Crafted from Italian corduroy, Proper Cloth Stratton Stretch Corduroy Chino pants boast a velvety feel that elevates the already cozy texture. They’re made primarily of cotton with a touch of lyocell for breathability and three percent elastane (usually two percent) for extra stretch and comfort."
"The suit comes in a variety of cuts and sizes to suit every body type, with jackets cut in either extra slim, slim, or classic fit and short, regular, and long lengths. Pants come in multiple inseam lengths, helping you get a perfect off-the-rack fit without a tailor. Custom sizing is also available on their website if you still need a different size."
"To make things easier, we reached out to some of the most knowledgeable folks in the button-down biz for insights into assembling the perfect five-shirt roster."
"Proper Cloth is a 100% custom, made-to-order brand that has been great for clients with unique body types or for clients that want to skip alterations altogether."
"A good rule of thumb when sporting the short shorts summer outfits style is to keep proportion in mind. Let your top have a relaxed, oversized fit while your muscular legs catch some sun. Complete the look with..."
"Dressing for a warm-weather black-tie event can be a real challenge. Pure cotton shirts can feel stifling, yet breezy linen alternatives aren't always appropriate for the occasion. The solution? Proper Cloth's cotton-linen blend shirt, which strikes the perfect balance of being elegant yet ultra-breathable."
"At Proper Cloth there’s no appointment necessary to get custom-fitted shirts, simply fill in their sizing survey online, record your own measurements, and mail in a shirt to mimic the fit. And the company offers a “Perfect Fit Guarantee," so no matter what, you’ll end up with a fit you love."
"So many guys default to the same dressy outfits for events. For a charmingly fresh take, consider retro shades and bold ties—and split up your suits..."
"Ah, the joy of an untucked shirt! Who wants the uncomfortable constriction of all that material trapped around your waist? Untucking has been a signifier of casual cool since tucking was invented..."
"And as tailoring trends lean into a looser silhouette, with more space to relax into, the time is right to pull on a double-breasted jacket. It could be worn by itself—over a proper shirt, of course, but also with a simple tee or knit polo—with jeans or some nice trousers."
"This jacket features a lightweight blend of linen and lyocell that helps wick away moisture, while its more hopsack weave allows for superior airflow. And just like Proper Cloth’s shirts, buyers can customize plenty of details, including the jacket’s buttons, lapels, pocket styling, vent styling, and construction."
"The clothier, which makes made-to-measure menswear, will open a 4,585-square-foot studio on the ground floor of the former Washington-Herald Times building at 1307 New York Avenue, filling the only retail space in the repositioned office building..."
"Proper Cloth is a made-to-order suit brand that offers virtual consultations, which means a specialist on their team can walk you through how to measure yourself for a suit..."
"What's great about the OCBD is just how infinitely wearable it is. Collar buttoned or unbuttoned, tucked or untucked, wrinkled out of the dryer or pressed with an iron, it basically always looks good. It can be dressed up with a blazer and proper trousers and some nice shoes."
"Proper Cloth's customization service makes it incredibly easy to turn their classic Bedford suit into a casual staple. Go with an unlined, unstructured version of the suit for a more natural look that'll wear great with knit polos and other less formal staples."
"Those who struggle with finding that perfect fit should check out Proper Cloth, which boasts a unique custom sizing option to craft polo shirts around your specific measurements."
"Let’s get it out of the way: linen will wrinkle. But we still love the idea of it for travel, because linen screams vacation. You’ll have to work a little harder to make sure it’s in presentable condition, but once you overcome that hurdle, think about how sharp you’ll look in this beautifully tailored suit from Proper Cloth."
"Proper Cloth is an online supplier that distributes made–to–order clothing. You enter your measurements and pick the materials and they send you a shirt that is tailor-made to your size. The Jackson is more of their off-the-shelf shirt but you can plug in your measurements to dial in a near-perfect fit."
"Proper Cloth specializes in made-to-measure designs. In a 30-minute session at the brand’s airy Soho showroom (it also offers online fit questionnaires and virtual consultations), I was sized up and shown a choice of collars and cloths. An appealing pinpoint fabric, in white or blue, cost just $90. For a build-your-own shirt? Ridiculous."
"Proper Cloth has a wonderful custom shirt program with an easy and intuitive interface. Choose from dozens of fabrics, ranging from flannels and corduroy, to cotton poplin and linen. Then stick with a standard design or adjust the collar, cuff, placket, pocket, yoke, bottom hem, and buttons. You can even add a personalized touch with a monogram."
"If you're looking for a great neutral suit in a winter-friendly fabric, try Proper Cloth's Waverly in navy. The suit is made to measure, totally customizable, and comes in a fabric perfect for winter wedding season."
"While switching up such a traditional piece of clothing can be polarizing, Proper Cloth’s high-end spin on the classic chino style makes things all the more enjoyable."
"If you’ve heard of only one online custom tailor, chances are it’s Proper Cloth. This service has been around since 2008, and it has a classy, sophisticated sensibility. The website is easy to navigate, with an impressive inventory of mid-range to high-end shirts..."
"So, if you’re in the business of constant shirt-wearing, look no further than New York City-based Proper Cloth. Good news for the rest of us: the company has since expanded to include most menswear essentials, guaranteeing an exceptional fit every time."
"Made-to-measure isn't limited to suiting. Proper Cloth uses a cool online tool to help folks design their dream dress shirts down to the most minute of details. Just take your measurements (better yet, have someone else take them for accuracy), plug them into the system, and begin building the perfect shirt for your wedding fit–all without breaking the bank."
"The Proper Cloth Houndstooth Jacket is a good pickup as well, with perfect ratings. The jacket is constructed from a blend of merino wool and cashmere from Italy’s TG di Fabio, and made from a tweed-like textured fabric, and a bit of fuzziness designed to keep you warm and toasty for the winter."
"Wrinkles are the bane of every white dress shirt. A single unwanted crease can instantly turn an acceptable shirt into one unfit for the public eye. Thankfully, Proper Cloth provides a no-iron alternative to the standard dress shirt."
"As office dress-codes increasingly unwind, can men safely wear their favorite weekend staples deskside? A guide to successfully sporting three items seemingly too daring for the meeting room."
"Business Casual attire for men has come a long way. It's true the pendulum has swung all the way from stiff and proper to loose and comfortable, but understanding how to dress business casual for men in 2023 is all about finding a balance between the two extremes."
"If you're not feeling a tee and need an easy way to elevate your look, go with a polo shirt. It's a perfect style that's neither too casual nor too dressy..."
"Go big or go home. An all-white suit is a big suiting choice but it's one worth making, especially when that all-white suit is Proper Cloth's Bedford. It's got big lapels and a breathable linen blend, the sort of combination that will have you looking hot while staying cool at a summer wedding."
"Proper Cloth is a made-to-order suit brand that offers virtual consultations, which means a specialist on their team can walk you through how to measure yourself for a suit..."
"If you don't plan on going the denim shirt route, opt for a paisley or floral print. Proper Cloth's take on the latter comes in a cool slate shade, giving it surprising versatility (it's practically a neutral!) for a printed dress shirt."
"It would be wise to wear a shirt made from thicker Oxford fabrics or twill so that no one notices the bare arms underneath your shirt. Thicker shirts may also feel better if you’re sensitive to the cold during fall or winter weddings."
"Traditional dress shirt details are taken care of here, including a clean design with no placket and no shirt pocket. Proper Cloth calls this its "go-to dress shirt under $100," and it's tough to top that reliability."
"It takes all the guesswork out of ordering shirts. I just pick the fabric and select the appropriate options, tweaking the fit here and there depending on my desired style."
"You can't go wrong with a timeless black tuxedo for men's formal wedding attire. From the one button shawl lapel to the black silk buttons, you'll be the best-dressed guest at the party."
"At Proper Cloth there’s no appointment necessary to get custom-fitted shirts, simply fill in their sizing survey online, record your own measurements, and mail in a shirt to mimic the fit. And the company offers a “Perfect Fit Guarantee," so no matter what, you’ll end up with a fit you love."
"So with wedding season looming large on the horizon, we set out to decipher them all, breaking down what, exactly, you should wear to every ring-swapping ceremony on your calendar this year..."
"Get Dressed for Work in Under 9 Minutes With These Smart Tricks. This cheat sheet for men will get you garbed, groomed and out the door well ahead of schedule—while still looking sharp."
"The brand, which specializes in custom-made, super-stylish menswear pieces, makes going the bespoke route a lot more accessible than it’s historically been."
"They take a quality-over-quantity approach in their offerings, with a few dozen swatches and cuts available on their site and New York showroom. They stick largely with year-round basics and a select few seasonal options when appropriate..."
"Digital brands are once again tasked with constructing a new guide for how to market and scale their businesses while protecting profits. Many digital startups will be less willing to experiment on channels they can’t easily measure returns on."
"This Thomas Mason tuxedo shirt is a smart choice for any formal occasion. Even better, you can customize your look by adding a monogram or chest pocket..."
"Proper Cloth is a custom clothing brand that gives you a choice of the finest fabrics sourced from some of the best mills in the world, an incredible amount of customization, and impeccable customer service, all at a price that you could never hope to get from a traditional tailor."
"If you want bespoke clothing for less, then look no further than Proper Cloth. It’s been around since 2008, and the brand has grown in size and apparel variety. The focus isn’t just on great style, but also the best fit possible for online menswear. Proper Cloth excels with its fit..."
"Proper Cloth's Waverly Wide Wale Corduroy Suit is a happy medium. While many corduroy suits are too wide, and others overcompensate by being too slim, this one is just right — a happy in-between that's neither way too wide nor pretty much painted on."
"For the occasions that call for dressing well and standing out from the pack to just the right degree, a rich burgundy wool blazer is absolutely the right piece. The Bedford is made with..."
"Your FSA (flexible spending account) can certainly be used for prescriptions and co-pays. But once you’ve gotten those necessities out of the way, why not stock up on some fun FSA-eligible stuff, like..."
"A well-tailored suit jacket or blazer is the foundation for all occasion dressing. While you can always opt for your old standby, this is also a space to lean into seasonal colors and fabrics..."
“I literally hate buying jeans. It’s like a roll of the dice. I decided to get a pair from Proper Cloth because, literally, nothing I have ever bought from them has been a disappointment. You can choose your measurements and your preferred fit, plus the slight fade and whiskering are just right. They nailed my fit perfectly."
"Does it get more timeless than a black tuxedo? Proper Cloth allows you to create custom suit sizing with their Smart Size Quiz in just minutes, and the suits come with the brand’s “perfect fit guarantee,” so you..."
"Office-friendly iterations by the Armoury and Proper Cloth, with button-down collars and cuffs, graft dress-shirt DNA into the polo’s genetic makeup."

"The club collar is a sophisticated nod to its collegiate origins and offers a way to stand out while still adhering to a classic look. Want to make a sartorial statement? Join the club!"
"Proper Cloth is a made-to-order suit brand that offers virtual consultations, which means a specialist on their team can walk you through how to measure yourself for a suit."
"Crafted with breathable cotton twill from renowned Italian mill Thomas Mason, Proper Cloth’s wrinkle-resistant shirt is suitable for year-round wear. The blue gingham pattern adds a refreshing pop of color to any gray or black suit."
"Gift him a custom wardrobe with a little help from Proper Cloth. Once he experiences the luxury of a personalized wardrobe, he’ll never want to shop off-the-rack again."
"Can a T-shirt be a bit elegant or even refined? That might seem like an odd concept, but Proper Cloth is looking to flip the traditionally laidback tee on its head with a tee that’s ever so slightly dressy and extremely well-made."
"A traditional two-button jacket and some flat-front pants will always be a go-to look. Pair this with a nice dress shirt and knit tie for a more buttoned-up affair or throw on a patterned camp collar shirt and some sandals for a more relaxed outdoor event."
"Comfortably thin and made from a mix of supima cotton and merino wool, Proper Cloth's The Dress Sock has earned its eponym status. Sure, it's not the oldest dress sock — not even close — but it's everything one should be: soft, slippery and in a subdued color like charcoal gray."
"Last week the New York-based apparel company Proper Cloth donated nearly $150,000 to support UNICEF’s humanitarian efforts in Ukraine. Proper Cloth staffers were “de nitely shocked” by the result since it was one..."
"Proper Cloth’s 10 bestselling shirt fabrics are white. Though ostensibly classic, some of these fabrics are woven with stretch yarns and the resulting shirts can be ordered in looser, off-the-body fits."
"The idea of wearing no-show socks with dress shoes or loafers — all the better to show off some ankle in a cropped or tapered pair of dress trousers, has caught on and hung around in a big way through the years. Proper Cloth gets the details right with a cotton-nylon-elastane blend for stretch, breathability and all-day comfort."
"This isn't your average seersucker jacket. For starters, it's a lot more subtle. Cut from stretch cotton woven by Zanieri, the lightweight breezy fabric is overdyed in a deep navy color for a more muted, textural look instead of the usual stripes."
"With sneakers there won't be any visible evidence you're wearing socks. Pick from three colors or two different multipacks, which include a mix of hues. Each one comes with elasticated arches, plus a seamless toe box (so they don't rub), silicone grips in the heel and cushioned terry layers at the heel and toe."
"Other companies like Todd Snyder and Proper Cloth have also carved out a space in the superior sub-$1,000 suit market. With a soft shoulder and a trim fit, this stretch-wool style is a modern adaptation of the conservative gray suit."
"Buying a shirt Proper Cloth already makes isn't the only way to shop the brand's collection. You can also customize a top to your own liking. That being said, their signature designs are damn good — and you can tweak any of the finer details on them, too."
"As the temperatures begin to rise, it's time to elevate your style. Say goodbye to the dark prints and suits of winter and mix some fun color, texture, and pattern into your wardrobe. From button-down plaid to classic polos, we've found the best shirts that will keep you looking and feeling good this summer."
"While the jacket and pants come with a near-endless array of customizable options, we like the Bedford option which features half-canvas construction, a light-weight chest canvas and no shoulder padding for a more natural silhouette."
"Nothing screams out class and elegance more than a well-dressed man. Although the quality of the clothing is essential, the fit is even more crucial. Proper Cloth changes the model of how men should shop for clothing. Rather than taking a leap of faith, Proper Cloth ensures a perfect fit."
“I needed a new blue blazer for off-site work meetings, but I wanted a tiny bit of personality in the fabric. The Waverly State’s Blue Herringbone wool flannel has great texture and just the right amount of warmth without the bulkiness of a lining. It looks just as good with jeans as it does with dressy grey trousers.”
"When you think of sweaters, I'm sure the only ones that come to mind whenever you're looking to layer up are crewneck and turtleneck. Maybe a cardigan. But what about the V-neck? V-neck sweaters seem to be the forgotten sweater style that can probably be styled the most relaxed way out of its counterparts."

"The Miles 120s broadcloth fabric is lightweight and silky smooth, great for looking and feeling good in performance. Also, as it’s woven in a 120s 2-ply construction, it means it will be able to retain its shape for long wear whilst being the least opaque shirt in the Proper Cloth dress shirt collection."
"Whether you go the route of custom or choose something ready-to-wear off the rack, a tuxedo is a decided luxury item — and you should trust an expert to guide you through either process."
"A perfect weight denim that is quite literally made for you, in your own custom fit. This premium four-season stretch denim is woven and dyed by a small, prestigious mill in Japan. The result is a timeless and versatile pair of jeans that looks and feels like you’ve already worn it for years."
"Proper Cloth focuses more on business wear, but they do have long and short sleeved polos. Some long sleeve options have a button cuff and spread collar; they resemble a dress shirt but for the fabric choice and they have a 3-button placket."
"The holidays can be the most wonderful time of the year, but getting the finest gifts for your loved ones may be the hardest part. VUE has you covered with the perfect luxury gift guide, though, so you can..."
"A blazer, much like a white dress shirt and a pair of dark jeans, is a menswear item that is the basis for dozens of outfits. You can find the best blazers for men that fit in with weekend plans and the occasional office appearance. Why? Because the best blazers for men can go with both jeans and trousers."
"Direct-to-consumer menswear brand Proper Cloth was growing out of its office-turned-showroom in SoHo just before the pandemic hit. So, the company leased a dedicated, 4,300-square-foot showroom at 681 Fifth Avenue, between East 53rd and East 54th streets in Midtown."
"For the online shopper craving custom, Proper Cloth utilizes technology to create one-of-a-kind tuxedos with a perfect-fit guarantee. You can also schedule a showroom fitting with an expert if an online order isn’t your game."
"One thing you should know when it comes to plaid: The smaller the check, the easier it is to style. That’s why we love this Proper Cloth shirt — the pattern is colorful, but not too much of a pain to match a tie with."
"Proper Cloth was an early adopter of the digitalization of customization, and because of that, it has nearly perfected the model. Keeping prices reasonable makes it possible for the tallest men to get those extra inches they need in the sleeves and length without dropping a small fortune."
"This tech-forward brand lets you customize your sizing, choose from a large array of fabrics, and fully personalize design details like the buttons, pants hem style, jacket interior lining, pants pocket style, lapel, and more."
"Proper Cloth has seen a massive spike in their Custom Chinos over the past six months, and we certainly see why. They’re made with grown-only-in-the-U.S. Supima cotton, which delivers softness, durability, and color retention, and they have a touch of elastane for added comfort..."
"The Beacon uses a two-ply, 50s thread count. While it’s a fairly low thread count, the nap is exceptionally smooth, making this a great choice for cool summer mornings and early fall days when the temperatures can run crisp to warm."
"Proper Cloth's Reda Off-White Merino Wool Dress Shirt combines impeccable style with the benefits of Merino wool and the ability to customize the shirt to the nth degree."

"Buying a shirt Proper Cloth already makes isn't the only way to shop the brand's collection. You can also customize a top to your own liking. That being said, their signature designs are damn good — and you can tweak any of the finer details on them, too. This Supima Oxford Shirt comes with..."

"These masks are comfortable to wear, breathable, easy to clean, and I like the look of the linen fabric,” says Impact writer Adele Peters. “Even though cloth masks aren’t designed for wildfire smoke, I’ve been wearing these during the California fires; the filters definitely reduce the smell of the smoke.” The masks can be purchased with ear or over-head loops and come with a high-quality air filter."

"For the first time in my life, I could close a shirt collar button and not feel like I was getting choked and it fit my torso at the same time. As for the sleeves, they have a flawless hem, with no bunching of fabric by the wrist. The length was perfect, and so was my polished look..."
"Now, something as simple as shopping for the perfect white shirt has been automated. Proper Cloth, a 10-year-old company founded by electrical engineer Seph Skerritt, is making highly personalized custom shirts available to men at a fraction of the cost of traditional custom clothing. "
"Our best pick to overhaul your closet is Proper Cloth, the New York-based custom online shirtmaking service founded by MIT graduate Seph Skerritt. You do not have to book a fitting at his sleek Soho showroom to buy one of his expertly crafted shirts, though it helps..."
Modern Fellows’ favorite cashmere sweaters come from New York-based menswear startup Proper Cloth. Though better known for their stylish, made-to-measure dress shirts and casual button-downs, founder Seph Skerritt has amassed a large and growing line of off-the-rack knitwear, suits and sport coats, overcoats and trench coats, neckties, and accessories...
“One of the cool, unique things about us is we have tens of thousands of clients giving us some form of feedback,” says founder Seph Skerritt. “We can statistically optimize for the best fit for everyone. I don’t think any other single brand has the volume or detail of customer data we have...”
"Style, to me, is about consistency," says Kyle Ridington, one of Manhattan's top-tier, and top-to-bottom-tailored, sommeliers. "My ethos with clothes is the same as for wine," he says. "I don't want it to be just recognizable. I want it to be unforgettable."
“EY has been recognizing leading entrepreneurs for over three decades,” said Debra von Storch, EY Americas Entrepreneur Of The Year Program Director. “The class of winners in 2017 represent new ways of thinking, disruptive business models and overall dynamism that make this country a great place to do business.”
As an engineer, I thought, “How can I use technology to solve this?” One thing I kept thinking is that most people are used to ordering shirts in off-the-rack sizes. That’s a pretty good start. But if I could know a little bit more about you, I can make the fit even better. We created this proprietary software called Smart Sizes where the customer answers 10 questions — how tall you are, how much you weigh...
"The experience in a nutshell: hop online and set up an engagement. When the time comes, mosey into this large SoHo loft (take a look around). Luxuriate on large SoHo sofas. Finally, have a leisurely chat with someone who specializes in making shirts fit just so; talk fabrics, discuss styling options, have your measurements taken. You want to be that guy who rocks the untucked, vintage-club-collared, polka-dotted button-up that fits just a little loose in the shoulders? Consider it done."
"Proper Cloth has exploded since launching as a bare-bones shirtmaker in late 2008. Its shiny, new Soho flagship is a milestone that speaks volumes about the brand’s progression."
Once you've chosen your fabric, you can tweak every possible detail. Want a semi-spread collar? A rounded pocket instead of an angled one? A covered placket? You've got a number of options, one of which includes monogramming. Plug in your initials, choose from three different fonts and a range of thread colors, then decide where you want to put it: high or low on your chest, on either cuff, inside the collar, or on your shirttail.
"You may have thought the custom shirt was an anachronism – something for a man with too much time on his hands. The gentlemen at Proper Cloth beg to differ. In just one to two weeks, your custom shirt is ready to wear. And once you’ve been measured, another perfectly tailored shirt is just a click or phone call away..."
"The result are shirts that...are still a ridiculous value for their $95-$220 price tag. “We have shirts made from fabric that you’d get in a $500 shirt from Bergdorf,” says founder Seph Skerritt, 35 from Proper Cloth’s NYC showroom..."
"That’s where the New York company Proper Cloth, which launched in 2008, has a clear advantage over its peers.
The site’s interface lets you easily sort fabrics according to a range of criteria, from basic qualities, such as color, pattern, and price, to fine-grained details, including thread count and thickness. Want a light-blue broadcloth with a thread count of at least 120 for work? Or a heavyweight charcoal flannel for the weekend? Proper Cloth makes it simple to search for either."
"Far and away the victors. You’ve got your pick of collars (21 different ones, with an option for white contrast), several cuffs, plackets, pleats, watch allowance, dress/casual length, pockets, collar and cuff accents, and monograms..."
"I just got my second order of custom shirts from Proper Cloth, and I may never buy a non-custom shirt again. This time I went with a navy pindot with a club collar, because I could..."
"It would be misleading to lump Proper Cloth in with other brands who create custom shirts and suiting. On the contrary, the New-York-City-based brand is one of the most successful made-to-measure e-commerce sites there is - attribute that to tasteful fabrics, fast delivery times, and an easy shopping experience..."
"We also hosted a few shows for New York Fashion Week. And they were pretty darn great, if we do say so ourselves. First up was last Friday's Fall/Winter 2014 show from SoHo-based label Proper Cloth. Designer Seph Skerritt packed the show with elegant, wearable tailoring, underscored by clever, and occasionally sprezzy, accessories and styling."
"Like Warby Parker and other brands whose DNA seemed initially written in HTML, but which have increasingly found their way into IRL, Proper Cloth is learning that sometimes in order to stand a chance at "disrupting" the big players, you have to play just like them..."
"There's just something about wearing a shirt that was made just for you that feels above and beyond even the nicest off-the-rack shirting (in my humble opinion)..."
"Of course, there are a lot of sites these days that let you make a made-to-order shirt, but few brands do it with the precise execution and sense of modern style as Proper Cloth..."
"Proper Cloth allows men shopping for custom shirting to choose from an incredible array and select specific fabrics, collar, cuff, and button styles. But the site's major accomplishment has everything to do with tailoring. Send them a shirt you like and they'll copy the cut. If you don't love the results, they'll remake it for free..."
"Proper Cloth has added the option to make any of their shirts a popover. That's right, if you can dream it, you can do it (provided the fabric is available, that is). You want a brushed twill cutaway collar popover to add a sprezzy vibe to your summer cotton suit? You can do it. Classic button-down collar popover in a bold plaid? Totally possible. Oxford cloth popovers with semi-spread collars? Oh hell yes..."
"Proper Cloth has become a go-to source for made-to-measure shirts for even the most discerning menswear customer. The fact that you can nitpick everything from the collar to the sleeve length (right down to a quarter of an inch here or there) means you can get a shirt that fits..."
"The New Ways of Made-to-Measure: With the help of different technlogies, you can cut corners - and cut out the tailor - with results you won't be ashamed of. Send this shirtmaker your measurements or a shirt that fits you well. If you get the new shirt and want to make changes you can tweak..."
"One online menswear brand, Proper Cloth, has followed suit and opened a shop and showroom in New York in June... This is no Luddite nod to old modes of trading but rather a shrewd branding strategy. Skerritt's customers..."
"If you've read our October issue, you know that the good stuff comes from smaller batches, and Proper Cloth's new knit ties are made from fabric in Biella, Italy and meticulously assembled in nearby Malnate. Each tie is 58" long and 2.5" at the widest point, which places them firmly..."
"There are plenty of sites that let you make a custom shirt, but no one does it with the same sense of panache and #menswear relevance like Proper Cloth. Clothing nerds can geek out over details like different weights of oxford cloth and Thomas Mason fabrics..."
"Custom shirting specialists Proper Cloth just released a new collection of lightweight summer shirts called Montauk Escape, and it's enough to make us wish we could travel back in time to last Wednesday, when the long weekend and all its promise were still laid out..."
"Custom shirt maker Proper Cloth is the latest to join the click-to-brick crowd with a SoHo showroom that opened in June. Founder Seph Skerritt says the startup needed a physical presence to establish its brand. “Our goal is to be a timeless menswear brand..."
"Before you jump out your motherfucking sweatpants and ask me whether it’s inspired by Escape from New York and heavy on the Plissken-inspired leather trousers .... The collection consists of literally every shirt you’ll need for summer: madras, oxfords, cutaways, long and short sleeved..."
"These guys have been all-stars in the custom shirting game for five years—through the Internet. Now, though, you can meet them face-to-face and have them measure you and give you fine Scottish liquors in a real-life setting. You’re here for a shirt or five. The kind of shirt that looks like..."
"The made-to-order shirting specialists at Proper Cloth may be more than happy to let you design your own custom creation, but they also offer up a few collections of pre-designed options each season. And we should all be happy that they do. The latest is American Trader..."

"Never before has the made-to-order shirt been so quickly, easily, and inexpensively attained. At Proper Cloth (propercloth.com) you can browse the fabric gallery, design your shirt, (collar? cuffs? buttons?) and send in your size and credit card number. Custom-made..."

"It’s the little touches that we love so much about Proper Cloth. It also just happens to be how we like to stand out from the crowd. The Desert Island Shirt also comes with mother of pearl buttons, a button down collar, and one button barrel cuffs..."
