Is there a SF discount code? I just saw this thread and wanted to ask before I submit my first order

I don't think so but things could have changed since my order.

The only discount I've seen is an ad that says SF members get $5 credit

There is a '$25 off your first order' code floating around...

Any new flannel coming?

 

[PhilKenSebben]

Hello All,

I thought I would ask a question about what I am noticing with my shirts. I have 5 of your shirts now I believe, ad I have noticed that every time I have them pressed, they come back a little tighter in odd places. The shirts still fit great in the neck, chest, body, but the cuffs have gotten progressively smaller and smaller

I started out being able to wear any of my watches, wit my shirts, and now I am not able to wear any of them. Is this something with the fabrics? or the cleaners?

I have also only noticed this on my French cuff shirts with fused cuffs, as of right now, the soft button cuffs I have on other shirts are doing just fine.

This is just a bit strange to me

Thanks!

Marc Voorhees

I will put my voice in for more flannel, especially usual dress colors, instead those casual alternative that are available now.....

@Seph Ties look fantastic....but they're on the skinny side at 3 1/8" inches. Is there any talk or options, that I'm missing for wider? 3.5" is kind of a minimum for me.

Hey Marc,
We cut to account for the shrinkage in fabrics, as 1-3% shrinkage is to be expected in most fabrics. There are a few styles we do additional shrinkage adjustment on, usually heavier casual styles, that we'll do more than a 3% adjustment on.

Shouldn't be anything wrong with the fabric or the cleaner, you might just want to consider adding a bit more length and/or width to your fit assuming there will be a small amount of shrinkage.

Cheers,
Chris

Lots of new flannel coming next week! Mostly classic patterns and colors, but expect some more unexpected things later in the season.

White Heavy Oxford is going to be more similar to classic casual oxford styles. TM oxford is a bit finer, and will wear lighter. Love the fabric, but not the bulletproof oxford style you'll find from the classic American brands.

We're pretty set on our 8cm tie width, so unfortunately I don't think we'll be doing anything at 3.5" or above. Thanks for the feedback, though! Always good to hear from you guys.

Thats a shame, I think you're limiting yourself with the skinny tie crowd. To each their own, I appreciate your shirts though.

I may make the suggestion that with your French cuff shirts you do a wee bit more adjusting. like I said, after the first dry cleaning, they fit great, they seem to have lost a little more each time. the barrel cuffs I have don't seem to have this problem. still happy with the shirts, just perplexed

hopefully making a big order soon. want to round out my business shirts and replace the rest of my bb ones

Interesting--I can't think of any customers who struggle more with shrinkage on French cuffs vs barrel cuffs off the top of my head, but we appreciate your insights! Of course, don't hesitate to honor our perfect fit guarantee, if you haven't already. Happy to remake that shirt if you feel the fit needs to be improved after a few washes.

Hi Guys,
Wanted to let everyone know that the suggestions for new flannel styles have not fall on deaf ears! Today we launched eight brand new flannels that are incredibly soft to the touch. We tried to cover all bases from more subtle herringbone solids, to small checks, to larger plaids.

Green and Red Mitchell Mini Gingham Flannels, 40/1 x 40/1

Green/Red and Yellow/Red Lewis Plaid Flannels, 32/1 x 32/1

Grey and Light Grey Herringbone Flannels, 32/1 x 32/1

Would love to hear what you guys think of these--if there's anything that hit the nail on the head or if you're still looking for something else.

Everything here starts at $95, you can find more details on the fabrics at http://propercloth.com/fabrics/
