@Seph How long is the non iron treatment expected to last?

It should last a very long time. The treatment is tested to last through 20 washes. Doesn't mean it won't last longer than that - that's just how far it's tested.

Oh I see the original thread. Yes that should be possible.

Can I get a confirmation this change was made before placing an order? Thanks!

Yes it has been updated.

For info, the picture of mine you shared was my first attempt at Propercloth trousers and I have made several changes since then, those in the pic came out too slim for my liking and the hip measurement was too small causing the smaller pleat to splay open.

I would say your trousers need to be made fuller, at least an inch if not more adding to the half measurements to get them to fall and drape cleanly.

For reference, my leg opening is almost 9" vs your 7.7 which is incredibly narrow looking at the size of your feet.

Have you compared the measurements on a well-fitting pair of trousers to what PC made? I'd say you need more than an inch for the PC trousers to drape decently, and I agree with dapperclassic that the cuff width is too small for your feet.

If the goal is to have the pant drape clean/straight down the back I would agree with the others - you'll want considerably more added to thigh, knee and leg opening. Consider going closer to 13.5 thigh, 10.5 knee and 8.5 leg opening. I'd also question increasing hip width 0.7, but there could be things I am not seeing - or comfort could be an issue.

Thank you for your advice @dapperclassic @philosophe and @Seph . Based on your insights I ordered a remake with the below result.

Waist Width	15
Hip Width	20.8
Thigh Width	13.5
Knee Width	10.5
Leg Opening Width	8.5
Front Rise	11.2
Back Rise	16.2
Inseam Length	28.6
Total Length	38.3

I would be grateful for any further advice on how to tweak these for a remake.

What shoes are those?

Went to the Proper Cloth Sample Sale in SoHo yesterday. Got three jackets. If you’re in NY, go check it out. 260 Sample Sale.

No plans currently. What style shirt would you apply it to?

I'd second this. Not sure how much of an operational headache it would be but this actually stands in the way of me ordering anything other than dress shirts from you.

Like a more casual shirt, for instance an OCBD meant to be worn untucked. One example of what I am thinking of is Gitman Bros. Vintage. The difference is subtle but the tails are closer to 4" whereas Proper Cloth is something like 2", right?

@Seph Second this. Actually keeps me from ordering anything other than dress shirts to wear with tailoring. This hem looks so much better when wearing casual shirts untucked.

 

[StanleyVanBuren]

side pockets on trousers are easier to access if the shirt has a more scooped hem as well

Thank you! The shoes are the Willow Derby in dark brown from Meermin.

along with people (at least myself) wanting to be able to select the larger casual stitched hem as an option, this could be a kill two birds with one stone situation
