Betelgeuse, I agree with the changes you have in mind.

I would only have the back of the waist reduced though, it's the place where the excess fabric sits and the front looks fine.

Other from that what comes to my mind is the following:
Ask for the sleeves to be cut noticeably slimmer, the ones of the Barba shirt look a lot more appealing.
Have the height of the cuffs increased. You seem to be a normal/tall guy with long arms I think the cuffs on the Luxire shirt look too small.
Maybe reduce the shoulder seam to seam measurement to 19.25". The Barba shirt does not look too far off in that regard and on the Luxire one it seems as if the seams don't fall on the tips of your collar bone.

Nice, what sort of pants are those?
Don't get too jealous. All the shirts are going back. I sent in 3 for remakes, one being the first I ever ordered that's unwearable, and ordered 2 more for a total of 5 shirts. They're all replicated like the first unwearable shirt. Strange. I guess that's the gamble with big orders.



It's fabric 85860, might not be on the site. 100% cotton. They fit great. Pics later.

Thanks, will consider this. The cuffs, I made a mistake... I was going to ask for 2.75" but I still don't know why I wrote down 1.75". I think I was thinking the neck height that is 1.75". My unconsciuos tricked me.

Damn that blows. So they actually remade the shirts with the exact same measurements as the previous incorrectly made shirts? And to top it off they made your new shirts with the same incorrect measurements? At least the pants came out good.

I think so. It's the only logical explanation. But I'd rather not post about it until it's resolved. I don't want to be one to blow up, only to have Luxire one-up me with great customer service. Hopefully they tell me to just send all 5 back to NJ.

See, it's hard to say anything bad about Luxire when it's completely undeserved. Therese responded telling me to send the shirts to NJ for alteration. I had made the changes late in the email and they were missed due to the poor communication by me. She is covering them regardless as they were communicated, however poorly.

I thought I would hate this after I ordered it. I like it actually.



Pant Appreciation? Pant Appreciation.



Tie is a little low. Excuse that.

The pants fit as good as I can expect.. the rear is messed up but that's not Luxire, that's my weird hips and arse. I'll work with Therese to get the next ones great.

Those pants look good. That's the normal front pleat they do or do you ask for something special to get it that way?
Normal front pleat.

Luxire is getting some serious pant orders when I get the time to decide what I want. These are great.
