Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

Finally decided to place an order. Wanted an OCBD with a roll similar to the ones I"ve seen on Kamakura shirts (since they don't carry my size). Hopefully I got my measurements right, my last MTM shirt was all over the place

How long is the wait typically from when you order until you receive it?

I like experimenting, Betelguese. That's half the fun.

Good enough for me, interested to hear the results!

Speaking of using body measurements, I did a combination of the two. For the body I added 5, 6, and 5 to my chest, waist, and hips to the chest, waist, and bottom of the shirt, and I am really happy with the result. For the rest I used an existing shirt, and pretty much got it right, but it's a little tight in the shoulders if I fold my arms (any suggestions anyone?). I think the yoke may need an increase.

Ouch. Did they mention they can get something done with a fabric I request even if it's not on the site? Trying to join the bandwagon after 300+ pages is a lot of catchup on information to do!

I searched Dugdale on the site and there 300+ hits! Not too bad for Minnis either. I guess I have a lot more exploring to do... Thanks for the headsup. Now to get home and measure more clothes after I'm done with the day...

That's similar to the spreadsheet composite method I've advocated: take several pairs of pants that you like measure them and use only the best features all of them in a composite. I did this same for my first few trousers and yeah, it worked out quite well.

Yeah, I think that is a good method, but I was wondering one thing, what do you think of the rise? They are quite high-rise, especially for being jeans, but is that a negative thing?

Luxire,
Is that going to be structured? Full or half canvassed? Is it 8593 Dugdale fine worsted Navy Plain?

Scherzkekse!

Am I not supposed to have received my trousers in order for me to review them or why are you already sending me an email asking me to rate my not yet fulfilled purchase?

Why are you teasing me like this Luxire!

They addressed this a couple a couple days ago. It is a third party service that sends out the review emails.

Upload the swatches when you get them please?

Yeah, last i asked for swatches of the trousers/dugdale they refused to do so as a matter of policy.

 

[Beatlegeuse]

There should be a few Dugdale fabrics with my swatches, hopefully they are included. They said they would refund me if any if the swatches weren't available, and I haven't gotten any refund yet. I'll upload them when I get them.
