In my opinion those sleeves are a good length but are hanging too low due to a cuff circumference that is too big.

Good catch guys.

The shirt pocket starts below the armpits for some reason, but all my other RTW shirts start the pocket a couple inches above my arm pit hole. I'm not sure why Luxire did that, but I can always request to move the pocket up for my next shirt, no big deal.

It's a simple alteration that a tailor can fix right? It doesn't seem like it's a hard alternation: to move the pocket up a bit.

Hey guys, this is my new shirt. All I did was tapered the arms .5 inch laid flat/ 1 inch in circumference. What do you guys think? Click on spoilers for additional pictures.

I'm not really a fan of the fit. The sleeves appear too long and there is not enough taper from elbow to wrist. If you like the feel of a more relaxed fit then I think the sleeves are okay from shoulder to elbow but after that they need to contour better with your forearm. Something about the collar is off. I think it is laying down too much. Take everything I say with a grain of salt though as I prefer a slimmer cut and that might not be your thing.

Oh crap. After seeing that Henry Carter milano spread collar, I just want to pick up a bunch of luxire shirts. Not sure where I should start

Interesting item made recently.

This is mine! I hadn't used Luxire before and wanted to use my first order as a bit of a fun experiment - I grabbed the first page I flipped to from my sketch book for clothing and sent it to them in an email with measurements. I wanted a linen trench with a bit of an exaggerated shape to it, almost like a morning coat but very casual. The pictures look very true to my sketch, and I'm mostly just excited to see the quality and enjoy having a garment made to such odd specifications!

You must wear this to the next meet-up.

A couple of new arrivals... Linen-cotton pique polo:

This is a unique material that's difficult to describe. Looks heavy but is light weight. Softer, a little stretchier and somewhat more matte than traditional cotton pique. Definitely has a luxury feel to it. Slight pulling under the arms is my own fault; I'm still tweaking my measurements for knits.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

More importantly, this is my first test of a collar construction that Luxire mentioned a while back: the neckband is stiffer to help the collar hold its shape, but the rest is soft. This configuration is so great that I'll be requesting it on all of my shirts (both woven and knit) from now on. This is some innovative s**t right here. Khaki linen jacket:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Great, richly textured linen in a minimally lined summer jacket. I was a huge pain ********** in specifying details (and then changing my mind) and Luxire got them all, including a reinforced placket, broad collar, some particular pocket styles, etc. I'm a happy gent. (Bonus cameo appearance in both photos by Luxire white dress trousers.)

Both very nice. Luxire, is this the same fabric as the shirt you made for me when I just asked for a heavy, natural-colored linen? That's probably my favorite shirt. The linen is really wonderful. Very crisp and super wrinkle-resistant.

Luxire, I've had the chance to wear my selvedge denim a couple of times now and I am very happy with how they turned out. They are truly fantastic for the price.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I'll post fit pics and happy to answer any questions regarding specific details I asked for on these jeans. One question for Luxire - are you able to offer a service where you stonewash denim? I'd like a heavily faded pair of selvedge denim a la Baldwin's "California Wash"?

Good to hear. I'm still holding out for some hemp-blend denim.

My trousers and shirts arrived this morning! The trousers fit much better, and the off white linen is a very nice fabric for the price. I had Luxire copy an Eidos and a Kamkura collar, and they did a fantastic job! I couldn't be happier with the way they made it. For my shirts, I had increased the chest measurement by 2", because the chest was too tight for my last shirts. However, the chest feels just as tight, while the back is much looser now. Is there any way to fix this? White 1 button placket polo shirt in fresco chambray. It's a lovely fabric, but the fit of this shirt seems a bit worse than the other one, especially in the shoulder area.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Pale blue cool cotton linen. This fabric is the nicest linen mix I've ever had. It's light weight, but not flimsy, and certainly not as wrinkle prone as an all linen shirt. The colour and texture are perfect as well. I'd highly recommend this fabric. It has a hidden BD collar, based on kamakura, and convertible cuffs. The button folds back, so it's hidden inside the cuff when using it with cufflinks.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Wow, that does look perfect.

Sure, what's the link to the sheet again? It was one of the basic dress stripes http://custom.luxire.com/collections/stripes/products/blue_dress_stripes_gtz49536 For $80 it's a lovely fabric and irons easily with quite a nice sheen to it. I'll likely get another one or 2 in this exact fabric once I get my pattern down (hopefully on attemot no 2)

Aiyiyi. Must... resist... the temptation...

May I ask what type of cloth these are ? They look beautiful

Thomas Mason and Albini linens. They're not Luxire shirts.

Both are different emptym. This one is a little thicker/heavier. Both being non-standard orders, the fabrics were selected from our collection to suit the individual needs of the garment, keeping in mind the provided specifications.

Thanks. Could you give more details on the blue one please. Is it a linen, chambray linen mix ?

The off white linen trousers and the cotton/linen shirt after a wash and a pressing. I'm really happy with the way they turned out. The fit is pretty much spot on, except for the shoulders, which I've decreased a bit for my next shirt.

 

[Beatlegeuse]

^ excellent fit! Looks like you've got your patterns pretty locked down with Luxire now. I'm really happy with my trouser pattern, and I made some very small adjustments to my shirt pattern (my shoulders were also a little larger than I liked, so I reduced that measurement a bit), and I have a new shirt coming in a few days with the changes. Hopefully it comes out perfect, then I'll finally be able to make future orders with no more changes.

My first luxire shirt. Collar is a custom one based on a proper cloth milano collar with a few little tweaks. The band height is high (I'm 6'2" with a long neck) and I'm tweaking it a little for the next one (slightly less spread). Order is #7210 for anyone interested in the collar. The Yoke and shoulders are also a little tight so have added a bit to them and the chest too for the next version. All in all though a very well made shirt.

Does this collar look okay without a tie on?
