The gingham looks awesome! Would you mind to share it's order # for the collar. Maybe it has been mentioned here before, but it's one of the nicest BDs seen for a long time.

I noticed that Luxire's ginghams are always made the wrong way round. The darker strips run horizontal as opposed to vertical. Do the customers realize this or is it a special request?

I always thought the Navy Oxford Gingham looks like a nice fabric, but the shirts are underwhelming. I couldn't put my fingers on it and thought the checks might be too big or the lighter checks might be too light, but I think your explanation is right. I guess we aren't accustomed to vertical lines in a (dress) shirt, opposed to a polo etc.

Here are some pics from my last Luxire order: a shirt and a pair of pants.
Any comments on fit and how to improve it is greatly appreciated!

















The sleeves are bunching, they're a tad long. Otherwise pretty solid fit imo.

Everybody else

Surely its a personal choice, but it seems vertical gingham is the unspoken default.

Hmm, they run vertical on my small blue gingham. Never thought about it before you mentioned it, though, tbh.

Yeah, its kind of a mixed bag. I was looking to have a gingham shirt done up recently so I've noticed some inconsistency with their product shots.

Just something to look out for if you cared. Maybe specify it in the details for your next order if you want to be sure of what you're getting.

Shoes are still in trial. The last couple of pairs made are nearing the level of satisfaction that would give us comfort to ship them. We are close.
Are these goodyear welted, blake stitched or hand welted?

I just wish they'd get fabrics with the pattern running the same vertically and horizontaly. Just looks weird to me otherwise.

Hand Welted. Except the stitching on the uppers, everything is completely hand-made.

Our standard button-down. This was made stiff and is fused on request.

As more trousers I observe here, as more I am sure: Luxire has a problem with excess cloth in the crotch. Under some circumstances, maybe 20% of the pant's dont' have it. But in general I guess 80% here suffer from it. My last two pants do have it as well, while the trousers before didn't have it, though the trousers in the very beginning had it... I didn't change measurements and the pants look very different especially around the crotch. Imho it's a question of cut pattern, lining and differences in cloth (strength, stiffness). I just wanna point this issue to enable improvement here.
Agree completely and am holding off ordering more trousers until a solution is found.
