i just sent mine at the beginning of january to their edison location and they forwarded it for me to India...that's still the way to do it if you're in the US.

Ditto. I sent mine at the end of January though. She said turn around for a shirt like that was 3 weeks from the time I shipped my shirt out to be replicated.

Which is insane.

What don't you like about the fabric? I am thinking about buying the same fabric...

It feels very rough, looks a bit cheap (which it is!), doesn't drape nicely and doesn't really hold a crease that well. It's also just too thick for my taste. Altogether, it makes the pants look more costumy than a nice pair of classic trousers. I'd recommend paying more for a nicer flannel if that's what you're looking for, it's definitely worth the up charge.

Anyone know off hand what the CMT price is for shirts and trousers? I have a few piece of cloth I would like to have made up.

Thanks in advance,

this has been said over and over in this thread. the $99 flannel is a very very thick, almost potato sack like fabric, it's rugged. but it's the first level into the fabrics from Luxire that you can actually judge fit with fabrics that drape.

it would be nice to offer a very low-end wool or something for first goers.

I'm not complaining, I wanted to get my fit right first with a cheap fabric. I knew what I was getting. But yeah, a thinner cheap wool fabric would be nice.

Just received my navy blue cotton chinos, and I wish I didn't, the fabric was terrible along with the average craftsmanship, I have sent them an e-mail to see what they are able to do!

What didn't you like about the fabric? Which navy chino fabric did you go with?

I sent payment via paypal. It was accepted, I think this means they have started working on the shirt right?

I'm finally going to pull the trigger after pondering it for months. Some of my shirts are reaching the end of their life, and I have a couple shirts that I wear regularly that I don't really like.

I'm going to order one to start to make sure the measurements are good - I have done online m2m before, so I'm pretty close on my measurements.

I have a few white shirts that I wears, so I'm thinking about starting with a plain blue. What are people's thoughts on the pale blue poplin 2/100 and the pale blue end-on-end? The poplin one looks a bit bright in the picture. Otherwise I was looking at the pale blue graph checks because if the measurements are off a bit, I can just wear it without a jacket and tie.

Yes. The next update from Luxire will be when they provide you with the FedEx tracking number.

Thanks. That was fast! I sent payment Sunday and they're already working on it. I'm impressed.

The navy twill, I will have to settle for them as they are remaking me a pair but, it is worth paying the extra 100$$ and getting them tailor made in person!

You mentioned you didn't like the fabric...what about the navy twill didn't you like.

 

[Cavarra]

It was just really shiny!

 

[Cavarra]

I am starting to warm to them though! But if you are looking for a great fabric you will have to look at the more expensive cloth maybe a dugdale!
