Proper Cloth Men’s Custom Tailored Dress Shirts
Gear Patrol preaches the advantages of buying custom fitted clothing. Nothing, let me repeat that - nothing, makes you look better then clothing tailored specifically to your body.
I have been searching for a great fitting men’s dress shirt and I consistently run into the same problems. Like Goldie Locks (or Ben), the fit is either too small or too large and this stems from off-the-rack shirts. Utter frustration. Diving to the net I discovered Proper Cloth, and suddenly I found myself in a shirt expertly tailored to every nuance of my frame.
The fun doesn’t end there though - you can add on extra style touches to make it truly unique. Don’t like pockets? Take ‘em off. Prefer barrel or French cuffs? No problem. Add on cuff and collar accents and Proper Cloth will sew in fabric of your choice for that added visual effect. Oh, and of course, you can have it monogrammed. Men with custom shirt fanaticism will rejoice.
One feature especially appreciated was the fitting system (done entirely online), which offers three options. Buy standard sizes, input custom measurements, or tell Proper Cloth a clothing brand you love (i.e. H&M, Gap, J. Crew) and they’ll make your shirt just like that (genius).
On a personal note, I wore my Proper Cloth shirt on an interview recently and couldn’t help but feel more confident in the shirt. There’s something about tailoring… In today’s world confidence has never been more important. If you look great, you’ll feel great and others will pick up on that.
Cost: $90 - $140

Any chance you can post a picture of you in the shirt to show us how the shirt fits?

We can do that. Give me a couple of days and I’ll add it to the post. Thanks for your comment.

great post! i’ve been looking for good, reasonably priced, tailored shirts for quite some time. another added perk to the proper cloth site is that the web site itself is really nice and easy to use. that is much more difficult to find in this market than you would imagine. thanks for the link. i look forward to getting my first shirt from them.
..let’s hope too many people don’t run in terror when you get that picture up Tuttle…
I’m always in between sizes… most of the rack stuff is either too small or too big, so I can definitely see the need for custom fitting. If you need a suit to go along with that shirt, A Tailored Suit is a great resource. They have some great articles that will teach you everything you wanted (or didn’t want) to know about suits.

As requested, we added an photo of the Proper Cloth shirt Patrick ordered - taken at an impromptu moment this weekend after a hearty joust in Gears of War 2.
I recently met the owner / proprietor of Proper Cloth, Seph Skerritt. When he told me about his business, I was taken aback at the simple genius of the plan; relatively affordable custom clothing for men. It’s good to see him getting the recognition he deserves. He works very hard to make his business work, and puts a lot of care and effort into making sure every customer is satisfied.
I told myself I wanted to lose some holiday weight before I invested in some Proper Cloth, but I’m finding it difficult to wait much longer, because those threads look phenomenal.
It’s great to see a worthy business get the accolades it deserves. Thanks for this.
Slick lookin shirts, will have to check them out. Hard to find quality custom dress shirts from what I’ve seen.
