Hey folks - We are implementing some shirt pattern changes effective to orders placed today. The changes will affect the shirt yoke height and how we adjust patterns for shoulder slope. A writeup explaining everything is here: https://propercloth.com/reference/fit-updates-oct-3-2023-shirt-shoulder-slope-and-yoke-height/

Thanks for letting us know!!

What was the motivation behind increasing the yoke height? I remember noticing on my very first shirt (10 years ago) that the height was on the shorter side but it didn't seem to affect the fit so I never gave it a second thought after that.

For the larger shoulder slopes like Lowered Shoulders 1" we needed more height on the yoke to be able to create a greater angle along the front of yoke seam without the yoke getting too narrow where it meets the sleeve.

Seph, your team members, particularly Gem and Tom, have been very helpful. Great customer service. Scott

@Seph from your experience, is PC able to adapt a more classic fit? I know you have that option, but your classic fit is by default still somewhat slim/tapered. I can obviously try to make out the measurements within the size (per limits of the pattern), but do you have experience with any clients going this route? Thinking for an example 28.5" thighs, 10.75" knees, 8.5-8.75" hems, etc.

For the jacket, in a full canvas with some structure, I'd be looking for some drape and structure in the chest/shoulders/sleevehead. On remakes, can your team adjust things like sleeve pitch?

Intrigued by the new wider lapel option since the gorge is apparently a bit lower. Just trying to gauge if PC makes sense for a more full cut suit. Thoughts? Any examples of people wearing a fuller cut by PC?

an Ecru oxford cloth would make a great addition to the current selection

Has anyone tried the "no shrinkage allowance" option yet?

I placed a trial order (only my 3rd PC order) but did not see the option to remove shrinkage allowances during the ordering process. I emailed CS right after placing the order so I should be ok I would think.

I'm really interested to see how it turns out. If it comes out right, I may be forced to place a significant order.

I am waiting on a remake with NSA.

Visiting the HQ in NYC again this December. Visited a few years ago and it massively improved the fit and helped me sort through my wishlist. Potentially going to be an expensive visit (last shirt order for a while). Are there any fabrics y'all felt really stood out that I should check out in person while I'm there?

Also going to see about trouser measurements. Kinda gave up on the last place I was ordering "non-expensive" trousers from.

A gentle suggestion on where PC can also add some value.

I've been on the hunt for a great chore coat, and have tried Todd Snyder, Alex Mill, and most recently Mont. St. Michel, but am struggling to find ones any that fit my desired arm width. Would be really cool to see if PC could offer a custom chore coat option down the road...

What about arm width is not working for you from those brands?

We can certainty accommodate a classic fit. @dapperclassic has some good examples: https://www.styleforum.net/threads/proper-cloth-official-affiliate-thread.380371/post-11501239

We do not have an ability to adjust sleeve pitch currently.

The wider lapel is great.

Generally my arms are too big for their sleeve width, even though it fits most everywhere else. I honestly didn't even realize y'all had these -- I'll give these a try and report back (would love to see one in black .
