Proper Suit Pop-Up

Beautifully affordable bespoke suiting

Not a legal proceeding filed by a very well-spoken English chap, Proper Suit is usually an online destination for killer, affordable, bespoke natty-threads created by a Lincoln High alum -- but is currently touring the West Coast to bring their extensive fitting procedure to dudes in actual real life. Their Alphabet District pop-up'll hook you with a classically trained tailor, 150+ customization options, likely a whiskey shot because that tailor dude is gonna put his hands in some weird places, and eventually, a perfect-fitting suit.

Get Fit: Proper cuts out the middleman by manufacturing the suits themselves after you go under the tape for 20 head-to-toe measurements including hips, chest, neck, and even biceps, though if it's a gun show they want, tickets are still available via hilarious t-shirts.

Get Custom: With try-on suits in tow, Proper's tailor will "read" you for your needs and help pin down basics like lapel shape, pleating, and jacket venting, then walk you through fabric samples in a variety of wools in color-pattern combos ranging from pinstripe gunmetal blue to Glen Plaid, as opposed to said cowboy’s usual rhinestones.

Get Even Custom-er: Proper really pulls out the stops with advanced customization options spanning from colored boutonnière holes, to wildly colored fabric under the collar (aka, the melton...bet you didn’t know that!), to whether you want your cuffs to rock "kissing buttons", but of course you want to smooch a 90yr-old baby.

Once measured up, expect your suit within 2-3 weeks, and look forward to being added to their online database, which lets you easily order made-to-measure threads from their website, which's re-launching at the end of the month with non-suit options, leaving you looking so handsome, you'll be able to get groped by weird tape measure-weilding men all on your own.
