Thank you. Certainly, here you go: http://www.styleforum.net/t/304965/luxire-custom-clothing-official-affiliate-thread/8490

Yeah, perhaps I could shorten the sleeves a tad and make them a little tighter. For some reason a feel that the 'pale blue dress striped oxford' has baggier sleeves than my other shirts.

Thanks for that. I also suggest you wear your shirts tucked in with your best fitting trousers for the fit pics if that is how you intend to wear the shirt, since the look can change after its been tucked.

In general bleaching will shorten the life expectancy of a shirt.  How much depends on the concentration, of course.

In this case, I’m guessing you’d need a much greater than average concentration if you are really going to end up with a uniform (as opposed to blotchy) result.  I’d only try it on a shirt I didn’t care about and was willing to throw away.

Good luck!

Cheers,

Makes sense, thanks for the info. Honestly I don't really want to try this unless I absolutely have to, or maybe this is something Luxire could offer for a fee? This easier solution would just be to offer a mid-weight standard white oxford. All the reviews I've read of the warzone and warzone plus is that they're pretty heavy.

Luxire - are you able to modify individual shirt sleeve and pant inseam length? I have a dropped right shoulder and a raised right hip, necessitating 0.5 inch differences between left and right.

Yes they are. Mention it in the notes.

Has anyone got shirts made in the Summer Ginghams?

I have some swatches, which are great, but the durability concerns me. The double second layer of the fabric is only held on by a few threads every couple of square cm.

I wonder why it needed to be double layered - surely one layer would make it more "summer".

Hello everyone, I've recently become addicted to luxire and have ordered quite a bunch of shirts in the past 3-4 months. The only adjustments I made were after the first shirt. My second order was satisfying enough, that I continued with these measurements. However I recently stumbled across Clapeyron's three shirt time lapse that documents the fit improvement from his first to third shirt and now hope that my fit can be improved a bit too. I'd be thankful for any recommendations you might have I used shirt measurements from a well fitting MTM shirt I owned and made adjustments after receiving my first shirt. I have relatively wide shoulders and a large chest which sometimes can make this difficult to get right I suppose. The most critical part of my shirt measurements I would like to improve are: - excess fabric/ wrinkling in front of the shoulders - perhaps also on the back of the shoulders - slightly excess fabric in lower back. Any suggestions other than darts? The shoulder problem seems to be less present in the heavier fabrics I ordered (blueish green university stripes oxford, red uni. stripes oxford, dark indigo denim chambray…) Pardon the pic dump please, I still down't know how to tag pics as spoilers

Shirts are: 1. pale blue dress stripes oxford 2. sky blue dobby twill 3. pale blue micro gingham (went with 7.75 instead of 8 inches for the bicep here, I think I will keep it that way in future) Thank you very much in advance!

It seems that your shoulder seam droops past your shoulder point by 3/4" - 1". In terms of aesthetic balance, I like to shoot for an imaginary nice gentle curve with the side seam from the hips up to the shoulder seam. I could MS paint this if you can't visualize what I mean.

I got my first Luxire order today! I based it on a well fitting shirt I own, and made small adjustments. Seems to fit well in the shoulders. Not sure how to improve fit with my hyperlordotic back though (it already has darts), I might need to pin it up and see. Also, is the cuff sitting too high?

Some things I think I'll change for next time:

- Ask for a smaller (or no) pocket. This one looks unusually large on my small frame.
- Don't accidentally click 'custom' for the front placket (whoops!)
- Probably make it shorter, although having it long makes it easier to keep tucked

Does any one have fabric recommendations for a summer popover?  This would be for wearing in 20 - 30 Celsius weather with shorts. 

Some fabrics I am looking at.

1. Blue End on End Linen - http://luxire.com/collections/linen-shirts/products/blue-end-on-end-linen
2. Sky Blue Summer Chambray - http://luxire.com/products/sky-blue-summer-chambray Is this more of a dress shirt fabric?
3. Classic Blue Summer Oxford - http://luxire.com/collections/oxford/products/classic-blue-summer-oxford

Do you go short sleeves or long sleeves rolled up?

I would go with long sleeves and short sleeves only for the hottest days with white linen or voille. Regarding the fabrics, I have the Linen: Pale blue end-on-end

http://luxire.com/products/linen_pale_blue_end-on-end

which looks very similar to your first, but is a tiny little bit darker due to a more blueish saturated weft (or warp? I dunno). I think the slightly darker shade of blue is more favorable for pale guys like myself. Given the looks, I wouldn't be surprised if both were from the same mill. It's very very comfortable, airy and drapes quite good. So far my favorite fabric from Luxire.

The summer chambray is quite dressy and is like a end-on-end at the one side and pinstripes at the other. I think NOBD just got a nice end-on-end.
