While off-the-rack shirts can look great on some, for most, they lack a good fit \u2014 not to mention the design, quality, and style can also be underwhelming. Custom dress shirts can make all the difference for those looking to up their workplace attire.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Custom Dress Shirts Offer a Better-Fitting Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike standard sizing (small, medium, large) or choosing sleeve length and neck width, custom shirts are made to your measurements. This accounts for things like chest and shoulder width, the amount of space around the waist, and even style preferences, such as how long you want the shirt to be or how much room you want in the sleeves. If you want to get fancy with it, you can even adjust one sleeve\u2019s length to show off your watch (called a watch adjustment). A custom shirt, made to your exact measurements, flatters you. Who wouldn\u2019t take that boost in confidence?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy Premium Materials with Custom Shirts <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some off-the-rack shirts are made with nicer materials. However, many are mass-produced to reduce the costs for the maker. Cheaper materials show visible wear, fall apart more easily, can irritate sensitive skin, breathe less easily, or look cheap. Custom dress shirts allow you to choose your fabrics (among other details). At Proper Cloth, we have hundreds of fabrics<\/a> to choose from, so you can find materials based on style, weight, seasonality, formality, comfort, and care. Lightweight linen will breathe well for a company outing; a non-iron dress shirt will stay crisp all day for a client meeting; sea island cotton makes a statement after a promotion.\u00a0Superior materials mean custom dress shirts last longer, are better on the skin, breathe well, and allow for self-expression.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Room for Customization <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of which, custom dress shirts offer more than fabric and sizing choices. Proper Cloth allows you to customize details like collar style, cuff style, monograms, plackets, yokes, hems, and buttons \u2014 to name a few. Custom details give you the chance to put your mark on the design.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eco-Friendly Style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While reducing your footprint may not be the first thing you think about when deciding how to buy shirts, it is a factor in custom dress shirts. Off-the-rack retailers tend to overproduce the items needed, with many unsold shirts ending up in landfills. Made-to-order and made-to-measure systems mean that nothing gets made until there\u2019s a demand. The custom dress shirt model reduces waste. Not to mention, higher-quality materials last longer, which means they don\u2019t need to be replaced as frequently. Beyond these factors, here are some other ways Proper Cloth is committed to sustainability<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
