Luxire and Styleforum Leather Jackets
As some of you may know, we've been working with Luxire on making and designing some leather jackets with modern cuts and details, but inspired by iconic designs, specifically, a Brimaco cafe racer (and some inspirations from other cafe racers,) and a Lewis Leathers Lightning.
All jackets are made with:
Full grain leather tanned for Luxire with minimal processing,
Talon metal trims.
Choice of standard and premium lining: Cotton twill, viscose, corduroy, silk
Constructed using global best practices
Customer Service: If the jacket does not fall within the acceptance parameters stated below, Luxire will alter/remake at their cost.
Cafe racer
Double breasted rider
How to order a jacket:
Please order the jacket directly through the Luxure site, and remember to use the introductory codes:
Prices: $775 standard patterns (USD)
MTM for all options: + $75 USD
Early bird and "screwed by ToJ" discounts available.
For the first month, all orders will be $50 off the regular price. There will be an additional $50 discount for those who can show that they have an outstanding ToJ jacket, for the first 3 months.
The code to use for the $50 introductory discount is: THELAGUY
The code for TOJ victims is SFFORSTOJ

Please follow all the steps outlined below for measurements for MTM.
Please address all specific questions about your particular order to Luxire, through their website, directly. If you have any questions in general, you are of course welcome to post them here.
For MTM orders: You have the option of getting a heavy canvas fit jacket (+$150) - this jacket will be in dyeable canvas, and finished to a standard that it can be used for regular wear. There is always some degree of uncertainty in MTM jackets. Using the fit jacket, we can make adjustments to the pattern more accurately, to increase the likelihood of a well fitting final jacket.
When will I get my jacket?
Conservatively, you should receive your jacket between 6-8 weeks from when you place your order. Please note that any requested changes after an order has been submitted are at the discretion of Luxire, and may not always be possible since your jacket may already be in production. Any changes requested will add additional time for completion of your jacket. If you choose custom leathers, the lead time will increase by 2 months.
What leathers are available for the jackets?
Black goat, 2.5 ounces
Black calf, 3 ounces
Navy calf, 3 ounces
Whiskey calf, 3 ounces.
Additional options: Custom colors are also available, but this will increase the delivery time by + 8 weeks (since the leather will have to be specially ordered) and will cost $150 extra.
What Hardware is used in the jackets?
Front closure: 2 way #10 Talon zippers, #10 zipper in either Nickel or Antique finish
Pocket closure: Your choice of #5, #8, and #10 Talon zippers, with either flat or cylindrical pulls. For zippers, brown, black, and dyeable white cotton tape is available.
Snap buttons: nickel or antique finishes.
Additional options: Non-standard hardware will take 2 months and will cost $150 extra.
Note: For front main closure can be done in custom color but in antique finish, #10no.Nickel will be in black
