Has anyone ordered Spandexter's collar? Would love to see a few more pics if possible

I have, will post picks tomorrow. It's a really nice collar.

1) What type of half lining material is recommended? What are the options? Looking to construct a pair of pants in light-worsted wool.

2) Can somebody show me a picture of a shirt sleeve with a clean single fold rather than the standard two folds.

Hi everyone,

Although I have been reading this forum for quite a while this is my first post. I have been following especially this thread as I am a very slim tall guy, with relatively broad shoulders. This has led to me normally getting shirts made on holiday in Asia, and now ordering from Luxire.

Although I am satisfied with the general fit and quality, compared to store bought shirts, I still think there are some good adjustments too be made before placing my next order, especially in my back. Below I posted some pictures, and I hope you can offer me some suggestions in what to alter to get a better fitting shirt. This would help me out a lot!

For your information I have already washed the shirt once, and it’s the sky blue summer chambray. I really like the color, but would prefer a bit paler blue shirt in my next order. And my current measurements are:

Chest 24.5
Waist 21.5
Bottem 23.5
Yoke 20.5
Sleeve Width 10
Rounded Arm Hole 11.75
Cuff 8.75
Length 33.5
Neck 16.5
Sleeve 39.25

Thanks a lot in advance!

I'm not as knowledgeable as many of the posters here, but there seems to be a lot of excess cloth in the back. You could probably reduce the back chest, maybe 1-2"? (I don't know your measurements so can't really guess.) You could also reduce the back waist or add darts to tidy up the billows above your belt at the back.

There are probably smaller things you could tweak also, but I'll stay silent for fear of sending you in the wrong direction

In general, it looks pretty good.

Thanks for your reply inno.
Maybe you can give me some more insight on this. But if I place an order now with the exact same measurements, however telling them to reduce my back chest and back waist both by 2'' would the complete front side of my shirt remain the same, and also my shoulders?

Suggestions from others, including on other alterations, are highly appreciated!

 

[inno]

As far as I'm aware, yes. I'm open to correction, however.

For example, say your first order had a chest measurement of 22" and a waist measurement of 19.5". In your second order, you remove 2" from both the back chest and back waist.

That means your front chest will be 22" and back chest will be 20", giving a total of 42". And your front waist will be 19.5" and your back waist 17.5" (total 37").

The yoke width isn't affected, so the shoulders will be the same. You'll have the same amount of cloth on the front of your body, so the side seams will stay in the right place, but there's less cloth below the yoke on the back. That pulls it in a little closer to your body and resolves the billowing. In theory.

When making the order, you can say 'Same measurements as order #1234, with the following changes: back chest -2", back waist -1".'

Edit: I'll also say, 2" is a big change and might be a risky move. Obviously you'll have a better idea yourself as you can see just how much extra cloth there is. Don't take hard numbers from a stranger on the internet

Is anyone having incredible difficulty getting responses from Theresa? I've gone 12 days without a response and now 7 days without a response. I love Luxire but in order for me to keep putting in orders I need some detail from their customer service.

She replied to me within 12 hours, so maybe something went wrong there.

 

[moopband]

I've followed up multiple times and even tried messaging from a different email in case my other was getting blacklisted or something by their server. Just not having much luck.

Spandexter's collar on a test shirt, a very light poplin, in light blue (thank god). The collar is slightly asymmetrical, but I'm not going to complain about that when it's a 35$ test shirt.
I decreased the chest and waist size for this shirt by 0.5" but I will revert those changes, I will also add 1" to the hip measurements. The Arms feel slightly too long; some slight bunching, decreasing it by 0.5".
Lastly, I might take 0.25" off of the biceps. A MTM program as this is a perfectionist's heaven and hell all in one!

Was it constructed incorrectly?

No it was constructed just fine, it might be due to the light fabric. Perhaps a heavier and softer fabric will sit a bit better.

Wish I saw the New Jersey shipping address before returning some pants to India. 7 weeks and counting....
