Proper cloth fit advice
Hi! I'm wondering what you guys think of this Proper cloth shirt fit.
I can probably increase the length some, although it seemed like it stayed in my pants when trying it out.
The wrists can be a little tighter perhaps.
Anything else?
Fabric is royal oxford - I like how airy it is, the shirt is really comfortable though it folds easily and it's a little transparent / shows my undershirt.
Overall, I quite like it!

Looks great bud 👍
Honestly, this is a pretty good fit, if it's your first custom shirt you did a damn good job with the measurements. A few tweaks I'd make:
1: As you said, cuffs should be at least an inch tighter, maybe 1.5. They're sliding a little too far down on your hand.
2: I'd add 1.5-2 inches on the length just to guarantee the shirt stays tucked.
3: This is purely personal preference on how you like the shirt to fit, but I think you have some excess fabric in the waist, you could probably have the waist taken in a little on your next shirt as well.
4: You could probably use some longer collar points as well. The sort of classic/ideal collar point length is one where the tips of the collar are hidden by your jacket when you button it.
Again, this is very much a personal preference.
I haven't used Propercloth in a while, I frequently use Luxire and I'm a huge fan. They let you tweak a ridiculous number of details, including collar point length and band height.
If you're interested, I'd say try having them make a shirt for you and see if you like their style as well. Prices are on par with Propercloth, maybe a touch cheaper and you can really find tune your preferences there.
Thank you for sharing!
