I have same issues w/ my PC shirts. I dont want a triple pleat wrist as to me its just a band aid for what I believe is clearly a ratio issue of bicep to forearm. . I hope they re formulate this. And I dont have large forearms either. With a nice trim upper arm, all my PC shirts pull too much at upper forearm/elbow area.

Hi,

I've been considering buying some custom dress shirts, I bought one from tailor store but I accidentally screwed up my neck measurements. I don't have all my measurements down, and I was wondering how accurate is your smart size?

Taking a stab here... is there anyone in here that was expecting an order for 2 shirts today? I just received someone else's order.

I'm expecting two shirts that are scheduled to be delivered today: a red small gingham and a blue/red/white check shirt. I haven't received the package yet from FedEx to know if it contains the correct items.

This one has 2 of what looks like a small multi check or "shadow check", one in green and one blue. Order ending in x5670.

Proper Cloth put the correct label on the package, but it looks like Fedex probably mixed up the routing stickers and put the wrong one on the wrong box. It's been given back to the delivery person to be delivered.

Edited to add: Someone else is receiving my shipment in the mix-up...

Anyone have experience with the Mercer twills? I'm looking for something a little thicker and more opaque than the very lightweight broadcloths. But I don't want a visible texture or sheen.

Anyone have experience with both the mercer twill and Hudson wrinkle resistant twill and can compare the two?

Just going off the reviews, it seems the hudson line has quite a bit of sheen. I want to order samples of the Hudson and Mercer light blue twills, but the Hudson is currently out of stock.

Even with samples, it might still be hard to tell on such a small piece of fabric. So any additional comments are greatly appreciated.

For all you Roma spread collar fans it looks like PC has finally updated the collar. Looking forward to seeing how it looks!

Has there been any updates on a plan to introduce larger arm holes? It's been really a struggle to get reasonable armhole comfort. I've had to buy a much larger chest and arms size which pretty much gives me a off-the-rack look. I'm also unable to switch to a square shoulder because they're even smaller.

I find tailor armholes to lower and less mobile than than the normal option. Isn't that weird?
