^ damn that's fast. I'm at about 5 weeks and haven't received my shipping confirmation yet. They charged my card over a week ago so my order should be ready to ship any day now.

 

[archibaldleach]

^ Yeah. Hopefully they're clearing out the backlog of orders and my experience is a sign of things to come.

Another nice square.

Proper, grownup overcoats (i.e. knee-length, traditional styling) are nonexistent in the RTW market. Can Luxire make overcoats, I wonder? Or is that too ambitious?

Worth a try. Truthfully, nothing is too ambitious.

Blue Linen End-On-End, NOBD Collar and our new dummy!

Your old dummy looked like Don Johnson circa Miami Vice crossed with Patrick Nagel paintings.

For those of you who have ordered a polo, did you change any measurements from your dress shirts (besides sleeve length obviously)?

Well said

Were never too fond of it. This purchase was over due, nicely egged on by dear friends here.

I gave most of my normal measurements and asked Luxire to change wherever they thought appropriate. I then specified sleeve length, sleeve opening, and shirt length in the comments. Luxire made a slight addition to the yoke but otherwise followed my normal shirt measurements.

For what it's worth, on my next order I'll reduce the yoke back to normal and add a little room in the waist and hip area. I don't wear my normal button-down shirts excessively slim but still am of the opinion a polo should fit a little more slouchily, if that's a word.

I tried to ask about trouser weight in the ask a question-thread but got no reply, so I will try here as well. Any views on this matter?

I'm looking to get corduroy and/or moleskin pants from Luxire (online MTM) for fall/winter and I'm very uncertain what kind of weight I should try to get.

Where I live in Norway, fall temperatures might drop to about 6-7C/40F and in winter time as low as -15C/5F.

What kind of weights should I get to stay decently warm in fall-/wintertime? Luxire has some corduroy fabrics that are 465-495g/15-16oz upwards to 680/740g/22-25 oz.

Their moleskin pants are all at 590-620g/19-20 oz.

The only MTM pants I've ordered from there were denim ones, so I have no clue on different weights of fabric.''

It depends on your natural tendency to run either hot or cold. That being said, most people aren't as sensitive to the weight of trousers as they are to the weight of a jacket.

I would be fine with 16oz for the entirety of fall and winter but also wouldn't be opposed to some of the heavier weights you mention. I'd imagine you might have an issue with indoor heating at the heaviest weights but don't own any, so I can't say with certainty. I would start off ordering the 16oz and then go from there. You should still have time to order a couple heavier pairs before the winter weather really comes, assuming your winter timeline is similar to ours on the east coast.

OK, thanks for the reply.

That is a good idea. I will probably order a new pair of jeans, might order swatches of the moleskin and corduroy trousers that are of interest and take it from there.
