Plan to commission these 3 white/cream pants for spring/summer use (70-90F), to wear most with navy/blue/grey/tan sports coats and brown/burgundy loafer/monks for a modern dapper look.
no experience with the fabrics you listed, but the linen-cotton canvas fabrics are also worth checking out. They are reasonably wrinkle-resistant compared to pure linen and would pair well with a sportcoat.

Anyone have any recommendations on collar for a polo? Looking a for a spread that will roll nicely under a sportcoat.

I just use my standard collar (#27805) and I am happy with it. The key to keeping the collar standing, in my case anyway, is having a medium fused collar band lining and a medium to heavy unfused lining in the collar. I have done this on all of my shirts with great results. You don't get the soft flowing collar, but it stays up beneath the lapels of my jacket.

I have two long sleeve polos with the Lupo style collar. They perfect for under a sportcoat. I don’t know how they line them but then are still pretty soft which I prefer over heavy lining and fusing. There is a pic somewhere on this thread which I’ll try to locate.

No problem. Today I am wearing a wide stripe oxford cloth which will hold up even better than a polo pique cloth, but the results have been the same for the most part. This is a spread collar not a button down, and can be worn with a tie as well. Best I can do on short notice.

Today:

I have nearly every shirt with this same collar and I am happy with them all. Here is a different shirt, with the same collar, but with a tie:

I've found that the lustrous fine white is prone to wrinkle easily and quite frankly, feels like putting a sandpaper shirt on in the morning. What business-appropriate white fabrics have you guys been happy with? I'm interested in trying something else since I'm happy with the fit.

Anyone has experience on leaving allowance for shrinkage to the luxire jeans?

For me,

the Luxire Signature_Denim Custom Jeans has shrunk quite a bit and too tight at waist / hip.

While the other one, Dark Indigo Stretch Jeans 13 Oz, there isn't much of shrinkage so the fit is good.

Now I'm wondering if i should leave allowance when I order the off white bull denim

I asked them to pre-shrink mine and it's work out fine, with no allowance for additional shrinkage.
