Luxire Garment Bag
I commissioned several garment bags from Luxire, some in navy (shown in the pictures below) and some in dark olive (to be received). The material was carefully selected; the cotton twill, of choice, is a hefty 9oz, which offers physical protection when travelling, and the nature of the cotton allows for breathability. Of course, as per any good garment bag, moths are kept out.
Thank you to Ashish and the team at Luxire for helping me find better ways of taking of my wardrobe.
These bags are feature-packed:
(i) buttonholes at the top for hangers to pass through.
(ii) a tab composed of cotton to cover the buttonholes (preventing dust ingress)
(iii) a cotton canvas tab at the bottom to allow for the bag to fold in half)
(iv) YKK zippers
(v) transparent window (helpful for identifying what's inside)
(vi) diagonal opening for ease of inserting and removing garments
@boot_owlSecond jacket from Luxire, at a crazy price atm. Looking pretty good - will need to address the roll at the collar a bit, lengthen sleeves, and I’m considering taking in the waist a touch. I particularly enjoy the lapels and open rounded quarters, which I specifically requested. View attachment 1504271

@boot_owl
How do you like the fabric? Is it relatively lightweight? I'm considering this one for my second jacket commission.
Are these garment bags available ??
Interested in picking some up if so
It is a tightly packed Melton. No pilling. Will last a few lifetimes. A little stiff.I am planning on ordering a luxire peacoat. Can you tell me more about the heavy black 30oz wool? Is it Melton wool? Tight weave? Prone to piling etc? Also is it available in midnight navy?
Yes. We can make it exactly as desired
Yes, the charges have been added.I don't know if I've missed something but Luxire seem to be charging for things that used to be free?
I've just ordered my 6th pair of trousers.
After clicking through to confirm the order, I realised the website had added $30 for the Extra Long Extended closure with double tab that I'd chosen and $10 for internal lining to knee.
Pretty sure these used to just be included? I know the Gurka waistband (of which I have 2 x trousers) was always charged at $30 extra because of the extra work involved) but the other high waistband styles (of which I have several) were just included in the price?
Just to be clear, if I just chose a fabric and write in the notes that I want you to fabricate a pair of trousers from an earlier order that has lining, will you add the extra cost of lining after my initial payment? Just want to make sure that the lining is not missed when I pick a fabric and ask you to replicate.Yes, the charges have been added.
Double tabs require extra effort similar to Gurkha pants. Lining is extra effort and extra material.
It is better to add the cost of lining when placing the order.Just to be clear, if I just chose a fabric and write in the notes that I want you to fabricate a pair of trousers from an earlier order that has lining, will you add the extra cost of lining after my initial payment?

Thanks. I can understand that. Just wanted to know how to proceed in order to replicate an earlier pair of trousers.It is better to add the cost of lining when placing the order.
Sending email later for extra payment is an added exercise and not too pleasant.
Also, we are dependent on the judgement of the person processing the order.
We are gradually moving towards a system where notes and "afterthought emails" will be discouraged.
