Anyone got any ideas for the custom printed pocket squares?

I just ordered a whole series of Gil Elvgren pin ups as a follow up to the one I got before. Love having a sexy lady in my pocket

Sigh. So it came back online around 4AM GMT (I'm in Ireland) and has finished again (or at least, didn't work for me at 9:30AM GMT)? Well, I gave it the old college try, to attempt to give you all my money!
Perhaps it's a worrying sign for my sanity that the first thing I did when I got up on a Saturday was attempt to buy clothes on the Internet...

I've just placed a new order in order to refine my trouser fit a bit.

In hindsight I should have been cautious and gone for a cheaper fabric than a Dugdale for my first trouser order. My shirts came out so well from providing measurements off a bespoke shirt, that I hoped the same would happen with trousers. What I neglected to consider was that the bespoke pair I used as a reference was cut for braces... and I ordered a pair with belt loops. I've now learned that there are significant enough differences to mean they don't fit quite as well as I would like. For example, the back rise is a little high and the waist slightly loose. Luxire, it must be said, followed my specification absolutely perfectly, as usual. It's simply that my spec didn't take into account the small differences that necessarily result from opting for belt instead of braces. I'll let my tailors do what they can to fix the current pair (if possible; otherwise I'll just wear them braced) and try Luxire again with a cheaper fabric (the navy twill chino).

As I don't have a pair of bespoke belt loop trousers, I've had to improvise the few measurement tweaks: reducing the back rise, tightening the waist, and generally slimming down the leg too. I've also tried to be a bit overcautious this time and added extra room to the seat (half hip) as when I was pinning up the above changes to my existing pair, it resulted in a tightening of that area. The seat can always easily be taken in locally if needed, so I figure being a bit overcautious is best.

On a different note, regarding the discussion about good white shirt fabrics upthread, I also ordered this Alumo. Hoping it's the same Alumo as on a couple of older bespoke shirts I already have, because I like that fabric a lot.

Thanks, that's great. Have just emailed to buy 8X $100 gift cards
There goes my bank balance.

Were the gift cards subject to the discount, when I tried it applied the code but didn't discount any value

Anyone ordered a peacoat yet?

Just wondering how you guys did you measurements, because it says to add 4 inches to your half chest, add 4 inches to your half bicep, and 3 to your cuffs. That seems like a HUGE increase doesn't it?

We'll have to trade notes. I accidentally found out my mother is buying this fabric for me for Christmas.

Deal. Lucky we each went with a different one.

Quote:
So yes, they were. But not at any time I tried - none of the codes worked for any of the specified deals. As Luxire said above, if you email them they should be able to sort you out. Fingers crossed that they get back to me as I can just about justify spending $640, but $800 seems like an awful lot of money to spend in one go, to me at least.

Great offer! Thanks, Luxire! I hope it's a good investment for you as well to expand your business

Must have missed the sale. Have had my eyes on a pocket square and scarf from Luxire for some time too.
