Definitely suggest doing trial jacket. My process was years ago and took some back and forth to India but haven’t had any issues with collar gap on my jackets (I’ve had 5 made between 2016 and 2020). Luxire also informed me that they’ve since improved their jacket program so I may give it another go down the line.

Did you ever provide any photos of your posture or how an existing non-Luxire jacket fits?

I don't see the option for jackets or suits on their website. Am I missing something?

The suits link is hidden under “outerwear” but you’ll only see a short list of options. Luxire told me that you can request a suit or jacket in any of the pants fabrics—you just need to email them to get a price quote based on the details and fabric you wish to order. I have found that by typing “hidden” in their search field, you will see a bunch of options for the different style details that you can choose from (lapel styles, jacket styles, pockets, buttons, etc). It’s not an ideal user experience but makes sense if you’re placing your order via email and then paying through the website.

Yes. I met Ashish when he came for the NY trunk show and wore the best fitting suit I had at the time. He took measurements and a few photos. The initial jacket was sent 3 months later and took 6 months and 3-4 trips to get right. Subsequent jackets were much less complicated but did require a trip or two back and forth.

Overall I am satisfied and am told the process has greatly improved.

Ah. Thank you!

I should probably know the answer to this by now but when/where does Luxire communicate their trunk show dates and locations?

I don’t think their trunk shows are a regular occurrence

I started the process of my first jacket with Luxire. I decided to go with a dark grey flannel fabric (Dugdale) that I already have in trousers so, assuming all goes well, I'll have a decent flannel suit and some separates when all is complete. I noticed some earlier recommendations to avoid this fabric for suiting but I like the trousers and figured it would be a good test. I emailed some posture photos along with measurements and styling details via email. Additionally, I am sending a sample jacket that fits well around the collar since I’ve struggled with collar gap on previous made to measure experiments. I have requested an at-home trial fitting so, whenever that arrives, I’ll post some photos for feedback. If this works out, I’ll also do a mid/light grey suit with some casual styling details, a new tuxedo and a dinner jacket as well. Wish me luck.

I recently ordered some trousers in Brisbane Moss Cream 12 Wale Corduroy. It's on the pricey side, but it's a wonderful fabric. It's lightly brushed on the interior and feels great to wear. At the same time it feels harder and structured on the exterior, holding a nice crease. The cream color is pretty versatile. We'll see how they hold up over time and how much I spill on them as I expect to wear them frequently this winter, but for now I'm a happy customer.

@LuxireStudio what does your resolution process typically entail for items that are not up to spec?

I paid to have a shirt shipped, then an additional $30 fee on top of fabric cost to have it duplicated with some size adjustments and the tailor went "off the rails" for lack of a better term.

Received my Black Friday orders today, and I've finally got my pant measurements correct.
I have 6 trousers from Luxire already, and have been tweaking them bit by bit per order. In the past I had the pant legs too long, and had to take them to the tailor with every order. I was always hesitant in changing the length measurements because all the other measurements were spot on. I hence decided to give a test run on one of the trousers, and changed the measurements to what I thought they should be.
Seema did a great job here in reaching out asking whether the measurements should replicated also on the other pair, and was referencing my previous orders.
After explaining my historical issues with the length measurements, Luxire executed the latest orders perfectly!

Additionally, Luxire seems to be the only vendor I've come across so far who are able to accommodate my torso build right out of the box. Really happy with the overall order, even though I was a bit hesitant about the 10% nylon inclusion in the pants' fabric.

Why is a small percent of nylon/polyester added to natural fibers? It is always to enhance the property of the otherwise all natural fabric.

For example, when 2% elastane is added to yarns, it is for adding stretch.

Adding 5/10/20 % man-made fibers usually add complexity to the weaving, dyeing and processing of fabrics. It is thus not done to reduce costs.

Washing stability, faster drying, moisture wicking, temperature regulation, easy ironing are some of the properties that this blending adds to the fabrics.

We are seeing more and more such blends that have almost magical properties.

huh! Who knew! I thought it was for sure for costs.

Black Friday haul came in

Ripstop Black Chino Pants - I had these made with a Hollywood waistband and single front pleats. This ripstop material is still at an incredible price and makes for great pants.

Dark Grey Stretchable Jeans - I wanted some new jeans. All of this stuff is straight out of the box, so wrinkles.

Charcoal Grey Recycled Wool - Another really great value material. Warm, thick, and it looks great too.

Ethomas Stone Cavalry Twill - While looking quite wrinkly out of the box, Luxire was right-- perfect for golf pants. Also perfect for the office!

Modrone Fox Brown Moleskin - What a fabric. Super plush and soft, a perfect brown color, and lightweight, but still very cozy. Highly recommend.
