Since 2008, that’s who we’ve made clothing for. Men with their own personal style, who demand a tailored fit and unparalleled quality. Men who appreciate subtle details. The hungry young professionals. The established gentlemen.

If that sounds like you, welcome. You’ve found your people. Your fellow refined roughriders.

For the past 10 years, we’ve made all of our clothing in the United States. And our clothing has made our clients look sharp, trim and proper. It’ll do the same for you.

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 men’s clothing, above all else, should fit properly. You can sacrifice a lot of things related to clothing, but fit is not one of them.
