As the weather cools down this year heading into autumn, there are a few shirt fabrics I'd be keen to order from Luxire if they were available. Have these been stocked in the past? Any chance to get them in the future?

1. Lightweight merino-- PC stocks several from Reda that look nice.
2. Finer twill flannels that can be dressed up, like this one (I don't like the heavier flannels).
3. Needlecords, like these ones from S&M.

Just send them an email. If they can source the cloth they'll let you know.

Nice!


in light of that, I'm considering some jeans. I've lost weight and need some smaller ones.

Is it possible to use your normal pattern, but cut the yoke height roughly in half, moving the bottom yoke seam and rear pockets up , say 1.5" or so? That would make the distance from the top of the waistband to the top of the rear pockets about 4" - 4.25"? Even on a pair of levi's nowadays, the pockets go from mid-buttock to upper thigh, which isn't a good look.


Also, does anyone have experience with the below linen fabric? I'm specifically wondering about shrinkage after washing (do I need to add any allowances) and degree of wrinkling (I realize it's linen, some linen is better than others in this regard)?




Thank you all in advance!

1. yes the yoke can be made as desired

2. we prewash our linen fabrics (and most other) . There is minimal shrinkage after.

Any photos yet of the permanent crease option?
Ordered a pair of trousers with the +10$ permanent crease.
In general, its a very solid option to go for, as it makes your life a lot easier with fabrics that tend to wrinkle during the day.
I'd probably only opt-in for the permanent crease for cotton/linen trousers, since on wool the expectation is for the crease to stay for the full day.

I've washed my pair approx 15-20 times now, and its still holding on. I believe, Luxire states that it should last more than 100 washes.

The photo is taken after the pants were worn in the office 2 days, with no ironing in-between.

Anyone else having a problem with the order notes not sending? I filled out the notes section using the button on the product page, but the order confirmation email had " Notes {} ", so I guess they didn't get through. I did use the chat feature to alert customer service. I hope that's enough.

I’ve missed this option, is it a sewn crease or some other kind of magic?

Not stitched, its supercrease, you can call it magic.
A very thin line of a solution is applied to the inside of the pants crease.
