Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

Back to the 4 ply - any plans for a group buy discount on these fabrics?

Luxire fanboy here...

If you are an existing Luxire customer, or have at the very least found this thread useful, what difference would Simon's opinion have at this point? There's enough information in here to make a responsible decision.

The reality of Simon's audience is no different than the people who follow those "alpha male" or dating YouTube channels. I highly doubt the people who can actually afford bespoke suits every month are wasting their time clamming away on the internet LoL.

I think Simon's article was very fair in the context it was written. I just don't believe his opinion on Luxire is any more valuable than the community of customers who frequent this thread.

In my eyes this is the most important sentence in simon cromptons review.

"Overall, the fit and the value of Luxire is good."

He shows that luxire is very capable of copying other products and high light the issue of not beeing able to inspect the fabric before ordering. And clearly he is a bit of a online mtm novice as he did not ask them to pre-wash the shirt fabric.

Long time lurker here but active reader, I really don't think "malicious" is the word I would choose. I did however find the review to be lazy. The review compared the quality of Luxire shirts with the likes of 100hands which twice as much but this was left out of the review.

I would have really liked a more objective review of Luxire with offerings in the same ballpark comparing it to something servicing a very different market gives me very little to go with.

Agreed. If anything I would consider it a compliment that he chose to compare it against much more expensive brands, rather than finding it superior to cheap trash

@Gregbird do you have a personal opinion on Luxire itself?

In one phrase, quirky, but nice. About 4 years ago big bro gave me a $100 giftcard. I bought a shirt at 69.99 in, was lustrous fine white, i guess, and I still wear it. Have since got many stuff from here. Brother briefly hated lux and stopped using the service due to some service issue but resumed. Says there's none other. Whilst he was angry both tried a few more. I haven't had issues, except for delays. Last order arrived this week. 6 days from order to delivery, 2 shirt 1 pant.
My daily job is in online marketing. Data analysis displays the review harms lux. I wrote to lux. Someone replied - all opinions are respected and they did not feel impact of harm. "We like criticism as it helps us get better". First thought - [why the f*** shud I care]. Next, wrote to simon, wrote here, doing more study. Easy work days.

First part of my BF order arrived a couple of days ago. This is my 9th order from lux and the first one with issues regarding the items. In short the navy pique was supposed to be made as a LS polo, but were made as a shirt. The navy chino is supposedly 100 % cotton, but has stretch. Both issues were nicely solved by CS and I look forward to ordering from lux again.

Gents,

I'm considering purchasing a pair of trousers from Luxire. Can anyone advise whether body measurements or garment measurements are the way to go?

Thanks

Maybe a combination. With pictures of the measured trousers and pictures of what kind of result you want. And if in doubt make them a little large as it is easy to have tailor remove fabric.

@luxire

Could you please post side by side pictures of the soft, emerald and forrest Green pique fabrics?

Garment measurements for sure

I was under the impression that Luxire always prewashes fabric where appropriate? Having said that, I've experienced unwanted shrinkage several times with both shirts and trousers. Canvas cotton especially seems vulnerable to shrinkage.

 

[Boggis]

Thanks for the replies, I'll go with the garment measurements + photos approach. Good shout on erring on the larger side with measurements!

Edit, actually on consideration I have a pair of trousers I hade made in Vietnam that fit me quite well, but are made from some sort of awful synthetic. I think I'll send them in instead as I can live without them for a few weeks.

i sent in a sample set of pants that fit well and it got me 90% of the way there on the first go around. Very happy, 2nd pair is a near perfect fit...
