Welcome to Commonwealth Proper - a modern ensemble of the best tailors, designers, and personal stylists in America working together to make exceptional custom clothing. As a "New School" clothier, we not only craft amazing custom-made suits, but we also source innovative fabric, design our own jacket lining, offer in-house bespoke tailoring and our own branded whiskey.
Bespoke clothing is the pinnacle of menswear. That's because it takes a team of custom tailors to hand-cut a pattern, cut fabric and assemble it - all for the body of one unique client - you. Our custom tailoring services are unique because we combine modern fabrics and traditional "gold standard" workmanship.

We're based in Philadelphia and call our band of tailors, designers and stylists, "Commonwealth Proper, " aka "CMMP." In the 1800s, Philadelphia was the country's garment production and style epicenter. The term "Commonwealth" pays homage to a group of progressive Philadelphia tailors who founded a labor union to improve working conditions.
In addition to our custom and ready-to-wear clothing, we also offer sartorial services that are designed to help our clients look - and feel - their best. They include Weddings, Wardrobe Edits, and Personal Styling. Ifyou'd like to schedule a consultation, or request additional information on these services, shoot us an email atservice@cmmpusa.com.
As custom wedding tailors, we've been fitting grooms the proper way since 2008. We understand that there's plenty to worry about when planning your big day. Looking great shouldn't be one of them. Whether you need a custom-fitted wedding suit for yourself, want to get your whole party suited up, or just need some help putting it all together, we're here for you when it matters the most.
There's nothing like wearing a custom-made suit. The confidence that comes from being in a garment that was meticulously designed, cut, and sewn to make you look your absolute best - it's a game-changer. Since 2008, we've helped thousands of men look their best. And once you go with a custom suit, it's damn hard to go back.
It's not just that the clothes are gorgeous. It's the whole experience. This is fashion pampering at a level I never knew existed. First, I sent my husband to CMMP to upgrade his work wardrobe, and he's now the best dressed guy in the office - a far (far) step up for him. And then I went myself. Yes, the whiskey was a motivator, but I absolutely love my shirts, and the store and the staff and the style, and honestly the whole package.

Every visit to Commonwealth Proper is a visit to an age of taste and refinement. Dead serious. Before my fiancee (at the time, now wife) first took me to their Philadelphia show-room, buying all but the most tried-and-true clothes (jeans and t-shirts of known size) was an ordeal, and not a very promising one at that. On the other hand, visiting CMMP means getting something extremely high quality, and a very pleasant discussion of options and styles. The resulting clothes have been among the most comfortable I own and exceptionally good looking. Putting on a freshly finished suit and feeling one

Top of the line. No reason to shop anywhere else, period. Details matter, and you get them all here. Rebels beware, plan on spending and coming back for more. Aaron is my guy; liked him immediately and I don’t like many people. Vanessa and Caroline enhance the experience every time I visit. Get ready to donate your other clothes and make room for your upgrade.

Service and style that can't be beat! Vanessa, Kurt and Craig take the time to walk you through the process and make you feel like one of the family. Went in for one suit and ended up getting two and some shirts. Style and options are tailored to the individual making sure each client is trim and proper. I won't go anywhere else!

Not your father's tailor, for sure. If Men's Warehouse is the Captain & Tennille of the fashion world, then CMMP would be the Ramones: sleek, edgy, and ultra stylish. You know you're in the right place when you're offered a glass of small-batch whiskey before a fitting. They'll help you find the right suit and ensure every inch of it is constructed to fit perfectly. Once you get a suit here, you'll never want to go anywhere else.

High quality materials and impeccable tailoring. Highly recommend for all suiting & shirting needs. Aaron & team provide an incredible customer experience guiding you to the perfect custom pieces whether you know exactly what you're looking for or if you're seeking inspiration based on their expertise. A great place to visit for those seeking high quality garments without the pretense or stuffiness you may find elsewhere.

Shopping (especially online, but even in store) has become so impersonal, and this was a welcome and refreshing respite.
Highly highly highly recommend.

CMMP is truly a special place. The clothes are high quality and there is no better feeling than a piece of clothing that was custom made just for you. But more so the experience at CMMP is just awesome. Aaron and his colleagues make you feel comfortable and at home while figuring out your next wardrobe piece. They are knowledgeable about their craft and you can trust you are in good hands when they help you pick out details. Already thinking about what I’ll get next!

I was blown away by the quality of Commonwealth Proper suits. As a photographer, details are picked up easily by the cameras. The stitching and quality were flawless and extremely fashionable. The groom and groomsmen looked so handsome in their suits! I highly recommend using Commonwealth Proper if you want to look dapper on your wedding day or at an event with great customer service!
