    Not applying for me. Am I missing something?

    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

    Thanks. Will do next time I get caught in the rain as I cannot be bothered soaking them.

    I got caught in a positively torrential downpour and now my Islays look like pic related. How do I best mask the rain stains? I have regular cream, Renovateur and polish in my toolbox.

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    @luxire: do you have any navy suitings at a reduced price, something akin to the washable wools? I cannot find anything here: https://luxire.com/collections/suit-collection Furthermore, what would be the cost to have replacement collars made up for old Luxire shirts? Is it also possible to make...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Glad to be of service. Let me know if there are any blanks I could fill in. Thank you for the information. I would not have been able to point this out myself and this will be of use in my future correspondence with Luxire. Thanks. Yes, there is such an option but it naturally comes with a...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    I would not agree that those trousers need to be any tighter at all. To my eyes that actually looks like a decent first iteration. I do not see how tighter trousers would do you any favors. In fact, I believe you would be well served by a much higher waist. As it stands, it looks like your...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    I've just received my first suit from Luxire and thought I'd chime in with my experience for posterity and any lurker considering a purchase. Let me preface my "review" by saying that I am overall very pleased as my post may come across as negative and nitpicky - this is not at all the...

    I am unfortunately in need of a suit rather soon and do not trust my measurement taking skills enough to go down that route. My other option is sending a jacket that is slightly too large. Would that, along with images, be more feasible?

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    When sending in a jacket for replication, how much should one take fabric and style variations into account? I am considering sending quite a soft jacket with 4 % elastane to be used as the basis for a 100 % wool suit jacket (with fairly soft details - no padding in the shoulders and so on).

    L.B.M. 1911 houndstooth silk/wool jacket

    For sale is a wonderful, nearly unused jacket by L.B.M. Being too large for me, I must sell it. I have only used it once in an emergency in which I did not have access to another jacket, which is the only reason the tag has come off. I will ship the tag with the jacket. The jacket fits...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    A "saving" of $10. Conversely, Luxire enjoys an increased margin of $15 owing to nothing more than the customer's geographical location. Surely, $100 (i.e. 85 EUR) plus 19 % VAT would be even better? The fact that heavier taxes, duties and whatnot are levied upon Europeans is frankly put a...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    While on the subject of suits: would it be feasible to use a trouser pattern I am happy with and send in a blazer for copying to have a suit made of the two individual patterns? Or would it most likely just look incoherent?
