You don't have this done via PC, do you? I'd been told (some time ago, admittedly) that was not an option.

Beg pardon, this isn't done through PC, but through the 2 shirtmakers I go through in Naples (details on the Naples threads).

It's been in my favour a few times when there's been a mistake or the collar has shrunk in the wash etc. Its been a long struggle to get shirts made in a traditional fit, the first few attempts were all too form fitting for me.

Is a 2-3 weeks turn around still the case, even for new customers/patterns?

I made my first order at the end of January and delivery to California was 10 days after the order was placed. The predicted delivery when I placed the order was ~3 weeks.

Thanks for the feedback. Looking to order my first shirt very soon. Just triple checking all my measurements.

This order was put in Feb 16 and I just checked and delivery is estimated for 3/1

Wow impressive. I guess I better get to it...

Hey @Seph , noticed that all three blue shades of the 140s Wrinkle Resistant Bengal Stripes are not in stock and also don't show up in the "may be available again in the future" list at the bottom. Any plans to bring back dressy broadcloth Bengal stripes? Via another collection/range perhaps?

Those bengal stripes are back online now https://propercloth.com/fabrics/stripes/thread-count-140

Just FYI: Ordered my first PC shirt on 2/16, arrived yesterday, 2/28- only 12 days from order to delivery- that includes a 3 days in transit from Hanoi. [emoji1303]

They can be very fast, and they are rarely late. I've been very happy.

I sometimes order from another company and my latest shirt from those guys took over 8 weeks to arrive.

But Proper Cloth is a well-oiled machine.

I order my chinos from another company, and it takes months and many emails with “it’s shipping next week” it seems. I ordered one shirt there recently—I wonder if it will be the same. Proper cloth is a great value and has top notch customer service. They don’t have enough variety in areas other than shirts for me yet.

Agreed. Whatever nits one may to pick with PC, they are quite efficient. I've never had an order take longer than initially projected.

Can I get a fit check? I was under the impression that my collar was too tight so I had my collar size increased. Now, I clearly have too much room and think I need to go back down in size. Other than that, any other general recommendations?

Fit looks pretty good to me [emoji1303]

Maybe sleeves a tad too long?

I don’t see any weird pulling, the shoulders fit nicely, and it’s close to your torso without clinging. Great.

And the collar might be just right after you wash it 2 or 3 times. Cotton shrinks a little.

Congrats on the beautiful new shirt!
