Would it be inappropriate to post constructive feedback on the aesthetics/balance of a few of the designs posted by Luxire? I feel like some of the images should get Foofed to bring them to the next level of awesomeness.

Why inappropriate? Feedback always welcome.

Try specifying unfused hardest interlining and see if you like it. Has been perfect for me for cutaways.

I know the proof is in the wearing but do you have any pics of the collar with such a setup?

I ordered a polo with an unlined collar and a medium fused neckband, as Luxire suggested. I am really happy with it - it sits up on the neck so that the cutaway collar sits right, and its still comfortable to wear, and not too structured. I'll post a pic soon

There is no way that nobody at Luxire didn't burst out laughing making this.


I for one think it's beautiful and I could see contexts in which it would work.

As far as I'm concerned if you're after "burst out laughing", you want giant high-waisted pleated pants worn with suspenders and monkstraps. To each his own.

I've dialed in my pattern with Luxire and I thought I would share the measurements to give newbies a good starting point if they happen to be my size.

I'm 6'2", athletic build with cyclist thighs. RTW jacket size is 40L, pant size is 33". My legs are slightly short and my torso is slightly long. I'm leaving out some other personal quirks (add 1/4" to left shoulder, etc) since they won't be relevant for anyone else.

Is this the Dark Indigo Denim Chambray with a heavy wash?

It is the Indigo Chambray:Light and Airy. Has been ordered to have a wash but the image was taken before the wash. Will post one after the wash as well.
