[books and tweed]

Does anyone have any pictures/thoughts of the Cerruti wool/cashmere flannels, Dugdale cords (the synthetic bit worries me a bit there, especially for the price compared to their other corduroys), or the Hunt Witherbotham flannels? I'm making the agonizing decision of a fabric for a fun odd jacket.

I ordered 2 pairs of trousers on the 27th of December. Still waiting for the shipping confirmation. I don't think mine is taking too long but yours was just a super fast one

the lack of consistency for order times is making me uneasy and curious. Ordered my trousers Jan 11...if I have to wait an entire month for the pants and my favorite pair of pants, this will be a long, long wait.

Have you checked on your order?

No, I haven't checked yet. I would assume a month is a reasonable estimate so I am expecting a shipping confirmation early next week. I dont want to send another an unnecessary email

I believe some of the inconsistency is pants vs shirts. They're quick with shirts, and the pants take longer.

A month for a bespoke pair of pants is super quick. Not sure what people expect.

It used to be about 3 weeks (almost a month) for shirts.

To be a month for pants (especially if they're doing a first order (not working from an existing pattern), and copying your pants exactly, is not bad at all.

Please help me adjust my luxire shirt

It sits a bit too tight on my pelvic bone and does with "higher" trousers (this one is about my navel - bad camera angle and maybe I didn't pull them up totally due to too much cookies over winter holidays) wrinkle quite a bit at the back. I specified the shirt to be 1 or 1.5 inch tighter at the waist back then front in order to adjust my slight hollow back, but it didn't really worked out how I thought it would.

Please also comment on the rest of the fit.

A few things (FYI, not a tailor, just an OCD info-maniac):

1) You may have forward pitched shoulders, which are causing some of the creases beween your neck and shoulder.
2) The Torso area is obviously too tight. This is causing fabric to sit on your back because it doesn't have any space to drape properly. If i had to take a guess i'd say increase the half bottom by around an inch.
3) Your waist measurement may be too tight. It's hard to tell since the shirt isn't freshly ironed or out of the dryer.
Optional:
3) Your cuffs seem tight, something you may or may not like
4) Your shirt sleeve is a little on the longer side, so it billows out through the sleeve.

No, it's bespoke. There's no base luxire pattern that gets modified. They're creating the pattern for each original order.

i thought the difference between MTM and bespoke was the fact that you have multiple fittings with the actual tailor? - probably not a conversation for this thread..although i'm not hating, I'm very much in love with what Luxire is doing haha

I got a shipping order for the pants I ordered on the 6th.  They should be here on the 16th.  That's just 10 days.  

I ordered on a Sunday night.  I wonder if that is the best time to buy something so they hit the ground running on Monday.  

I'm wearing a shirt I ordered on the 6th.

Just ordered a Cucinelli-style vest in the grey wool flannel fabric, I wanted to test it out with a cheaper fabric before committing to one of the Dugdale or Hunt Winterbotham fabrics.

I'll post pictures as soon as it arrives, for those curious.

I ordered one too in grey dugdale tweed herringbone. Flannel should be nice too.
