    Looks very nice! If the fabrics pass your durability testing, I would definitely be up for a pair of pants in light grey, and perhaps a pair in one of the dark greens.

    Hi @luxire , will there be some Drago fabrics in the sale? Not much info on dragobiella.it, but the description of their "Rugby Flannel" line seems intriguing: The Rugby Flannel, a worsted and elastic flannel with waterproof and stain resistant finishing, is totally renewed and has been...

    Is there any way to browse the Drago fabrics before the door buster special goes live?

    I have two shirts in the blue dress stripes seersucker, easily my favorite shirts for spring and summer. The pictures on the website doesn't really show the seersucker structure, and I agree with you about the oxford similarity on a couple of the pictures. Perhaps they have used the wrong...

     That was me. I'm happy I just bought one, because I can't really use it in public. It's still a super comfy shirt, though, so I wear it alot at home.

    I'm a bit disappointed with my twill flannel shirt, actually. It's had two or three washes so far (40 °C, 900 rpm, hang to dry), and there's already some kind of (mild) pilling all over the shirt. Maybe my other flannel shirts have this as well and it's just more visible due to the color of the...

     +1 for patterned seersucker, 1/4" (or even larger) gingham sounds great. Ideally in the sub-$100 range

    I ordered a pair of pants in the navy winter hopsack from Delfino, I'm really excited to see how they turn out, especially after you wrote this ^. Also ordered a pair of VBC mid grey flannel pants, which will be my third pair. Like cbfn wrote - VBC flannels feels like you're wearing pyjamas to...

    Most of my Luxire BD shirts have unfused and lightly lined collar, including neck band, so the collar have a tendency to "collapse" during the day at work (no tie, one or two buttons open). For some cotton-linen shirts I ordered I specified "Neck-band: Lined and fused. Collar points: Medium...

    @venividivicibj I asked Luxire if I should use the same measurement as barrel cuffs, or increase it. @JayH recommended an increase of 0.5-1", and having the cuffs lined and fused. I increased the measurement 0.5". The shirt is on its way, so I can't tell if it was a success just yet, but I can...

    @Rincon Did you order pants or shirts? New or existing pattern? My impression is that pants generally takes longer time to make than shirts. I ordered three shirts and used an existing pattern, and got them on March 23rd. Luxire (hopefully) uses the first-come, first-served policy, so if you...

    Yeah, it's a nice casual fabric. I went for a version of Timotune's collar shown in this post. After a couple of iterations I found the collar height that fit me best (collar band 1,5"), and after that I've been using it on almost all my Luxire shirts. For my new linen cotton shirts I ordered a...

    @inimitable Well spotted, it is indeed a puppytooth. I think the error has been pointed out before, but Luxire hasn't renamed it. Closeup pic from an earlier post:

    @Andrew Ryan I only have one 100 % Irish linen shirt (Blue Micro Gingham Linen) and it's wrinkling level is 11 on a scale from 1 to 10... Haven't ironed it, because, at least in my opinion, linen shirts are supposed to have a bit of a rumpled look.

    Received three shirts that I ordered in the linen sale today. Really happy as always. I could get used to a turnaround of 12 days (including two weekends) from placing the order to receiving the shirts! I used an existing pattern, only changed the neck band to be lined and fused. I received a...

     I bought a long sleeved button down shirt in this fabric earlier this summer, and I've used it every week since I got it. The fabric is soft, breathable and lightweight, so it makes a perfect summer shirt IMO. The dark color eliminates any see-through problems, and the linen/cotton mix...

    @lachyzee I have the pale blue dress stripes oxford, and I agree with the review - it is lighter than the other oxfords I have, and the blue is quite nice. As NOBD says, it's a fabric that's suitable for summer. @Turner I took a few pictures of some of my Luxire shirts: Left to right: Pale...

     So true! My absolute favorite shirt. Breathable, comfortable and not too informal. Didn't think I could get all three in the same shirt, so I'm amazed. I'll have to order at least one more, maybe with another collar style. Yours look nice, is it the NOBD? Unlined or lightly lined? +1 As...
