Fit shots and comments on a new safari jacket:

The fabric, a 9 oz. cream linen is remarkable. It has presence and heft, and although I've worn it only once, I get the sense the heavier linen will not crease as hopelessly as a lighter, crisper fabric. (See Luxire's own studio photo of the jacket here.) The fabric is not part of the standard safrai jacket offerings (which are 6-7 ounces), which is part of the flexibility that makes Luxire great.

The fit is surprisingly good all-around for online MTM. Shoulders, chest, and neck are spot on, and the armholes are cut high. What's odd is the misses in unusual places. The "medium length," as measured according Luxire's specs led to a jacket that's a full two inches longer than what I'm used to. This may be a matter of style, and granted, I did provide the measurement, but it was unexpected. The cuffs are only slightly larger than shirtcuffs, so I have to unbutton them to slide my hands through and put the jacket on. The forearms are very uncomfortably tight when I flex at the elbow, so a wider-cut sleeves with more shirring would be warranted.

The styling of a jacket like this is a matter of personal taste. I asked for a reproduction of the Armoury X Ascot Chang safari jacket (mainly the collar style), and this is faithful to it. Stylistically, my only change would be to give the pockets deeper pleats so they have a bit more room to expand.

Miscellaneous: The internal drawstring (in my view a useful way to avoid the colonial overtones of a belt) is horrible. It's the cheap kind that comes in a gym bag, and it doesn't really work. I knotted it on each end, so it provides some service. I didn't specify what kind of drawstring I'd like, but I never envisioned this would be the stock option. The cheap plastic fobs dangle outside the jacket. The buttonholes and stitching are of disappointing quality. I'd expected some hand work, given the price ($450!). Under the collar, the machine stitching actually runs off the seam in a crooked line (see below). The hidden placket is only lightly tacked, and clearly won't stand much heavy use. In fact, one of the tacks had already ripped apart by the time I received the jacket. Compared to the handwork, stitching, buttonholes, and tacks of Luxire pants, this is a major disappointment, especially considering this is essentially a heavy, expensive shirt.

Here are some photos. I'd be happy to hear the SF thinks!
