    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    I asked Lux to elaborate a little on the iron process and here's what they had to say: The adjustment using iron will be done at our workplace while making the garments. We do this process to make the back rise seam shape proper that it drapes well over the body. Still not super clear on how...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Yep, I think with true bespoke there would be some sort of swayback/swayfront angle compensation that would make the more tapered V-shape wearable, but in lieu of that, a roomier depth would make me happy. I found an interesting blogpost/comment chain with input from a few patternmakers on this...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    @shirtsnob @Andy_00 This sounds very similar to my experience. I would also guess (without having any formal education in tailoring or patternmaking) that it seems like an issue of fork quantity. If you were to cut the pants sagittally, they seem to narrow to more of a V-shape where the front...

    @shirtsnob This pair just arrived. Perhaps the new pattern fixes 90% of wedgies and I just have a weird body, not going to think about it haha. I sent measurements. This is my third attempt and it’s a shame because they are spot on everywhere else. Also, this last iteration is as much as 1.25”...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Hey all, I am trying to fix the dreaded wedgie, and among other suggestions, Luxire recommends that I "adjust the back rise with iron." I will heed their advice but I am curious what this means from a tailoring perspective. Anybody have insight? Thanks

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    General advice on improving fit? I have a proportionally tiny waist and mild bowlegs so getting pants to drape nicely has been a struggle.

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Just received my first order! Had trial pants made and am pretty pleased for a first attempt. My tastes are trendier than most here, and I didn't find much similar to what I wanted in prior posts, so I figure these results might be useful to a particular niche of users. First, regarding...

    The Official Common Projects Thread

    Hi all, sizing question #103029384230482304823084, thanks for bearing with me: My cm/brannock size is 9.5E/EE, do you think an achilles / achilles retro in a 42 would work? Normally I wouldn't bother cramming my wide feet into a shoe known to run narrow, but my logic is that since consesus is...
