Established in 2008, Commonwealth Proper (CMMP) is a private, experiential retailer with showrooms in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Atlanta and Washington, D.C. We specialize in making custom suits, shirts, outerwear, formal wear and accessories. 

We’re based in Philadelphia and call our band of tailors, designers and stylists, "Commonwealth Proper," aka "CMMP." 

So, where does our name come from?

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.

Their credo: “That is the most perfect government in which an injury to one is the concern of all.”  We at CMMP believe in the collective good and our company is run that way.

The term “Proper” denotes our belief that clothing, above all else, should fit properly. You can sacrifice a lot of things related to clothing, but fit is not one of them.

We've worked with thousands of clients over the last 15 years, finding that we care about fit and quality more than anyone in the industry. Indeed, a firm commitment to our brand's high standards is what binds us together. Finding the best designers, tailors and fabric - to deliver exceptional clothing - continues to be a relentless pursuit for us. That’s why our clients, who now span the globe, keep coming back.
