Alex Crane is a Brooklyn brand founded by designer Alex Crane, making relaxed men's and women's clothing exclusively from natural, biodegradable fibres - French linen, cotton, hemp and wool - with the stated goal of fully compostable clothing. Proper Cloth is a New York made-to-measure menswear company founded in 2008 by Seph Skeritt, built on its Smart Size system that turns a short online survey into a custom shirt pattern tuned to 0.1-inch increments, and since 2019 expanded into custom suits, jackets, trousers and denim with showrooms on Fifth Avenue, Washington, D.C. and Chicago. One sells sun-faded linen ease; the other sells precision custom tailoring.
