Received my first shirt from Luxire recently - sky blue oxford. Great quality shirt!
Could anyone give me some feedback for future adjustments based upon the pictures below? Please note that I input the sleeve measurements incorrectly which is why they are so big - I will be having this corrected by a local tailor and never making the mistake again!
Apologies for the poor quality iPhone photos. If it's any help, my usual measurements are 40" chest and 31" waist.
Thanks
What else did you change?
Bicep measurement to 8.5", cuff to 8.5", requested slimmer forearms
Yoke reduced by 0.5"
Increase the front part of the chest by 1"
Decrease the back part of the chest by 1"
Decrease the back part of the waist by 1"
The changes to the yoke and chest seem very reasonable.
Would have taken more fabric from the back of the waist though.
I think the upper back did not look as bad as the back waist did, so why only take that few fabric away from over there?
I asked the same thing a couple of weeks ago and didn't get an answer. I don't think anyone has as of yet. Luxire is still working on a process for getting the measurements right. I'm anxious to find out as well because the minnis materials look really good. In my case, I want a classic navy blazer and tan / grey pants set created. The Minnis materials are there to do it. Like you, I'd like to see an example of one and what the process was. If I'm going to be a guinea pig, then I'd like and "incentive" to do so.Who all has had a sportcoat made by Luxire? Thinking about having a linen or Minnis Fresco sportcoat made for the summer.
I know EmptyM had an unstructured cotton SC made--anyone had anything made with a bit of structure to it?
