Laundry bags it is. I’ve had river shell (wannabe MOP) buttons on (mediocre, almost high-street level shirts) shirts last for years, while very regarded maker’s (100Hands, Finamore etc.) buttons have chipped on the first wash. It’s all about how the buttons happen to hit the drum while washing. Proper Cloth’s MOP-buttons are a solid 8/10 (not river shell, good thickness and a decent color/shine).

Speaking of, please drop some laundry bag options. I've not done a proper search, but everything I have seen is rather small.

Some pics of the new Propercloth wide lapel single breasted cut which has a lowered gorge, lapel width is 4”. only available in a 2 button (no 3r2 option yet but hopefully this will be added in future).

Made up here in a Di Pray glen check flannel. Fit pics to follow.

omg this is big news

Ok so looking at this again, I have questions...

The illustration of the single flap pocket looks like this:

The flap has straight edges, like the J. Press single flap:

However, in the fit pics above, the pocket flap seems to have a negative curve:

Which makes it look more like the illustration of the western pocket:

I just checked a PC shirt that I recently received with the single flap pocket, and it has straight edges consistent with PC's illustration and the J. Press single flap.

Good observation.Mine is more like the western pocket and I didn’t request for it.It came like this straight from the factory.I actually like this more than J Press’.

Visiting the show room this weekend to look at getting a navy suit. Any advice ?

So posting for others if this comes up. There appear to be several levels of Navy suits from Allen, to Stretch Allen, to VBC allen, and Drago Allen, then the top end Loro Piana. There are also various types of weaves in those Navy colors as choices. They can vary in weight and even lapel size. There appears to be no customization on lapel size by the way. Most are 3.5 inch. Right now I am leaning towards the the VBC Allen, with the stretch being second choice.

I plan to come in an old blazer that fits me very well, as well as a pair of Dress Trousers that I like the fit, and dress shoes. I will also wear a recent propercloth shirt I have, and review fit with them. I have done some looking and thinking on things like cuff or no cuff, side tabs vs loops, and pleat or no pleat, as well as preferences in rise.

Trip report. PC was able to evaluate the latest version of my shirt and made minor adjustments which was great. They did not need to see my old blazer and just started putting me in their test jackets and pants. In my view it seemed that their test jackets were smaller than I expected, perhaps European cut ??? My shoulders and chest did not fit in the first, or even second, sized jacket. They had the VBC and Drago Allen suits to look at, but did not have the Stretch Allen in Navy Plain weave except for a small fabric sample. Looking at them in person under different lights is much better than online. The sales associate was very helpful. I inquired about waist coats/vests and was told they are thinking/talking about this as an additional product offering.

Has anyone here done a tuxedo shirt through Propercloth? If so, can you any IRL pics? Many thanks.

What a beautiful fabric. The pictures online show a pretty bold blue line throughout the fabric; your pics make it look much less prominent, and I like it better that way. Subtle and classy.

Nice to see light oxford shirt back. 😍

Is it possible to buy extra collar?

 

[wozniak]

I love their oxfords - just ordered a royal white oxford.
