0:00.0	What up everybody? Welcome to the Smoking Tire podcast. Today's episode is brought to you by
0:05.1	Proper Cloth. Proper Cloth is the best way to get custom fit shirts, right, that fit you exactly
0:14.9	right this fall. They sent me these unbelievable shirts. I'm talking about flannels, plads, twills, stuff to
0:23.9	wear undercoats, under blazers, key winter staples, and it was so easy. All I had to do was
0:30.5	go to their website and click a few things about my size, my build, a few very basic measurements,

1:36.8	pants, or a cool coat. I love proper cloth. It's perfect for people who are frustrated with
1:42.9	off-the-rack sizing.
1:49.6	Maybe you're not a standard size, and so everything that proper cloth sells has made exactly in your size, so it fits perfectly, and you can customize shirts to your liking, including
1:55.5	collar-style, buttons, sleeve-style.
1:58.0	You can add monograms, and no measuring required gets to you in under two weeks.
