How formal are linen shirts for reference? (With fused collar etc to make it more dressy) casual? Business casual? Able to be semi formal?

I believe fused collars with linen is actually a crime punishable by law.

I wear mine to business casual. Luxire doesn't show the blends but there's quite a bit of linen in the shirt I have. I would guess something like 70% linen. And I would think the more linen, the less formal.

So it's like 30% cotton 70% linen?

And if fusing is a no-no, then just have it with extra lining in the collar? (Don't want it to be all floppy)

Linen shirts are not exactly conservative business dress, due in part to their tendency to wrinkle. Linen cotton blends are perfectly acceptable and make sense in warmer weather, just as some thicker cottons can work in colder weather.

Which of Luxire's linen fabrics is the softest? I'm a little bit sick of oxfords, and I want to choose other fabrics for my next shirt.

Is it just me, or does anybody else get the same (or very close) measurement for the Half Hip and Half Hip Front?

^My half hip is just 1 in more than half hip front

Is it just me, or does anybody else get the same (or very close) measurement for the Half Hip and Half Hip Front?

On the pants I measured they were an inch apart - certainly a bit less than what appears in their photos (it appears to be 2.5 in their photo). I hope I am not wrong in thinking that the correct way to arrange the pants when measuring the hips is so that the fabric is flat on both sides - that way with the half hip measurement you get a true circumference around the hips and with the half hip at seam an idea where the side seams should fall in this circumference.

I assume there are two sorts of measurements we are supposed to be taking: length, and circumference (really half circumference). Obviously the in/outseam are a length. The others are all a half circumference (waist, thigh, knee, ankle). Since the last four mentioned all need to be measured flat (i.e. no bunching of fabric on either side of the portion being measured), I assume the same applies to the hips and hips at seam measurements. Even the rise (front plus back) is a sort of half circumference. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong about this.

Interesting...

I'm taking the rise and waist from a pair of wool pants but all the leg measurements (thigh, knee, ankle) from a pair of cotton khakis. The cotton pants have a different half hip vs half hip front but the wool pants are essentially the same (within .25"). What should I go with?

 

[NOBD]

Not the standard buttons, smoothmoose. I'm not sure which these are. The standard buttons are smaller, thicker and "whiter". On the right standard, on the left (gingham shirt) premium. And the ones on my new shirt are different from these two.

Very nice, which collar is that?

My collar.

 

[SeamasterLux]

I measured my well fitting pants by myself. The key is to have a nice fitting pants at the beginning. You can however adjust them by sending Luxire pics and ask for advice.

Alright, thanks a lot
