    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

     I'm personally not a fan, but it's a good design feature. I don't like it because with a heavier fabric I find that the middle belt loop can jut out behind you like a giant D ring if you aren't wearing a belt. The extra length of the loop and the stiffness of the fabric interact a bit...

     Yes, and a number of other people have posted that they have as well. The shipping service works as advertised (took ~3 days to get to India); DHL is not in the business of losing articles. That being said, bear in mind the fine print that says "customer is responsible for any import...

     That placket certainly provides good coverage for wearing untucked. (Is this a bad time to remark again on the skittishness of sheep?) With another button or two, it could be connected with these trousers: Imagine the possibilities! :D

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

     Zippers startle the sheep. Sorry, I thought we were talking about kilts. I'm used to seeing button flies on trousers in fabrics that are expected to change significantly, e.g. raw denim. And actually, I find trousers with jeans-style button flies to be easier to undo one-handed than...

    Can I order trousers for the Black Friday sale, but provide measurements later this week when I have more time? Thanks.

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

     I've had a medium Field Bag (#232) in each. Bought the oil finish tin cloth first, and after 20 months of daily wear, one of the straps blew at the attachment point -- apparently Filson now sews them with longer tails inside the bag, so this shouldn't happen anymore. I'd also managed to...

     0. Pay for jacket. 1. Measure yourself as best you can. Measure a nice-fitting shirt or jacket, too, if you have one. 2. Mail these numbers to Charly, who will reply with a set of jacket measurements. 3. Take a cheap non-stretchy jacket (e.g. $20 Gap nylon jacket at a thrift store) and pin...

     Well, Charly was spot on with his suggestion of 2.5" sleeve length and 0.25" cuffs, but I had to edit his length number to account for my 18" stilts. Do you think an 0.4" pit-to-waist drop is going to look too feminine? I'm s00per tempted to go with maybe a more conservative 0.38"? This is...

    TOJ - updates on the debacle, complaints, news about other ventures, whatever.

     MTM formulae are based on body measurements, not height/weight. Everything depends on how you're proportioned. E.g., I'm 6" taller than you but have the same jacket front/back length as you. I know my torso is short, so I'm not concerned about this. If you're this worried about getting the...

    Just tried to upgrade the lining to bemberg (hadn't known it was still an option after the no-customizations cutoff) but can't because the jacket is already being made. That's really unfortuna I'm just gonna sit by the mailbox and wait for the sweet smell of leather, mmkay?

     I talked myself out of oxblood calf as my first-and-only leather in favor of something lighter and more versatile, so just trying to live vicariously... I've seen all the posted photos; we demands politely requests the freshness!

    I dislike captoes: sell me on them

     I... did not expect to see Gian-Carlo Rota name-checked on SF, much less that particular classroom quote. This made my day. OP: Other people's opinions only matter regarding things you would wear.

     That's the brown?!? Damn, that's nice. I spent a day reading through your old posts trying to figure out if it was whiskey or red, and gave up :embar: Hrm. How would/could one wear the navy with jeans? Thanks for the replies!

    Going for a collared moto as my first/only ToJ (and leather jacket, in general). Opposite question as schultjr: I want something dark (but not black). Brown lamb, brown goat, or oxblood calf? Any of them would go with what I normally wear (lotsa blue and grey), so versatility isn't an issue...

    Color for pair of 2nd shoes? I've got basic black office/work/nice shoes. I'm about to buy a second pair of 'good' shoes, specifically the strap Jodphurs from Dehner ( http://dehner.com/customshoes_paddock.html ) which look like this in their "tan" (mid-brown): I'm in both engineering...
