@luxire i really like the coolmax denim fabrics. Any others that are similar in feel/weight?

Interested in these myself... Not sure about the colors from the website photos - any chance you could put some photos of the fabrics in natural light?

Also, what's the stretch/feel like. I'll probably get burnt at the stake for admitting this on here, but I have Uniqlo stretch denim and jeans that are both extremely comfortable and seem to be indestructible.

i cant compare as I don’t have other stretch jeans but I’d say a little. I really like them. Very comfortable.

Do you have any "reverse stripe" oxford cloth available for shirts? I could not find any, it is an amazing and versitile pattern. Preferably the classic blue/white-combo. If not, maybe something we will see in the future?

Ooh that would be nice, but please in the 250g/m range, so heavier than standard if you ever consider to go and have this woven.

On the other end of the oxford spectrum, I'd be a buyer if you offered some stretch oxford fabrics in the standard colors / stripes. I like your regular oxford fabric just fine, but for comfort, you can't beat a little stretch.

5 years ago I ordered a shirt in such a fabric, but a bit darker shade of blue (navy). This fabric is absolutely fantastic - thick but soft, wrinkle resistant and easy to iron. I wear it very often and I see practically no signs of wear. I would order more of this and gladly also in different shades, but it seems to me it is no longer available...

Based on my order history it was called "White Dress Stripes On Blue Oxford". @luxire , maybe this fabric is still available but under different description/name?

Do they feel as heavy as the weight indicates?

I’m looking for a pair of slightly stretch raw jeans, and I’m torn between those and these:

I have two pair of the 'dark indigo stretch'. I had one lined in flannel since I'm occasionally outside for a while in cold weather.

To me, they give the look of raw denim with a lighter weight and some stretch, which makes them much more comfortable. I find them a great weight for the office and any temperature lower than 85F or so.

That said, I'm no denim purist, so if you're looking for the type of denim you have to get into the bathtub with in order to mold it to your body, these probably won't work for you. For me, I wear them very often and am quite happy with them.

 

[tilesomoole]

Oh, and made to your own specs and shipped to your door for 99 bucks.....that's an absolute steal.

Thank you! I'm not much of a denim purist anymore. Just want something that looks decent and is comfortable. I've run into issues where there have been slight issues with the denim I've ordered, so I'm trying to make sure I cover everything on the next pair.

I am a very big fan of the Dugdale flannels, have two of them (navy and gray) but man after wearing them for 2 days the risk of wearing out at the crotch is very real. @luxire is there something that I can do here with my tailor to strengthen, like put a patch by the crotch? Thanks!

What are the recommendations for pale blue oxford cloth for an ocbd? I want something heavy like the Drakes ocbd cloth, and the PS one. so something north of 200gs/m (ideal 250).
I have the pale pink on order, I think that one is around 200ish, but already contemplating my next order.
I do have PS cloth: white, blue stripe, green stripe and pink stripe. If I'm statisified with Luxire I will send them those. But at the time PS didn't have the pale blue for sale, and I'm not going to order one single shirt length with the whole brexit hassle...

Just want to give you guys an update on the pale pink ocbd I ordered.
As stated I sent a drakes OCBD to be copied, that's because I’m not prepared to pay 300eu+ for a simple OCBD without any handmade details.
I just received the finished shirt and can tell you it's a faithful copy of the existing drakes shirt, the fit of the drakes shirt was spot on even better than a couple of my bespoke shirts. So the pattern block drakes uses is perfect for my body.
The fit and finish from Luxire is the same as Drakes, Drakes is maybe a little cleaner but the price is 200eu more so I can let that slide. Furthermore I frankly hated the BD collar from Drakes (I know…I know some consider it the holy grail) but for my long neck it's just too small, and the neckband is also way too low.
So I opted for the Trad button down (mercer copy) and it's an amazing collar!

The oxford cloth used is beefy and stiff, so it will soften nicely after some wash cycles. All in all a very successful commission and will take some pictures after I have washed and worn the shirt a couple of times.
After that I will send some shirtings your way @luxire

@luxire
Do you have a size chart for your EZS sizing products? For example, if I ordered a slim fit shirt with my neck and sleeve length sizes, what would the shoulder, waist, cuff, sleeve width measurements be for your standard size pattern? Also, I presume the sizes are in inches on the US site?
