I've seen this collar on the Luxire site and been informed it was made to match somebody's existing shirt:



Does anyone on this forum own it? Any chance of a picture of it on?

Thanks

Lucan

Hi all. This is my shirt - it was copied from a shirt that was made for me by a traveling tailor operation based out of London called Whitcomb & Shadftesbury. Unfortunately, I think the Luxire copy will be too small in the chest for some reason, but I haven't had a chance to try it on since it got back from its first laundering. I will try to post a photo later in the week.

Here's the photo. I stand corrected on the fit - it's not too bad for a first shirt. I think I will only need a few tweaks going forward.

Thanks, looks great on you.

Thanks very much. Theresa at Luxire said she'd like to make some adjustments to the armhole on future orders, but I really do think they did a good job copying the original shirt. And just to be fair to Luxire, other shirtmakers have told me the original shirt was oddly made - very tight hip and a severe taper on the sleeve.
