Received my second set of Luxire shirts today and thought I'd upload a few images.
In terms of a quick review
- Once again the fit is spot on. All the minor alterations I requested from last time seem to have come through.
-The little things/special requests, for example the left cuff being larger to accommodate a watch, and the monogram on the popover being placed out of sight, are done perfectly.
- The fit of the popover is almost perfect, despite me deviating from my standard measurements for the other shirts.
- Not being versed in shirt construction, all I'll say is that I really like them and they fit me exactly how I'd like them to.
- The fabrics are really nice. This was my "summer" order so I went for things that I thought would be lightweight, or summery i.e. the popover.
- Despite me changing my mind several times through the process of this order, even at the last minute each change was noted and acted on.
- They sent me replacement cuffs for the last batch of shirts on which the cuffs were a bit too tight - amazing service. They also sent me the swatches I requested - generous squares too.
- The roll on the popover collar is near perfect - I sent them the measurements from an Epaulet collar I had.
I went with a three button cuff just for kicks:
The few negatives (note that I have not taken this feedback to Luxire yet - and every time I have had a problem they have offered to fix it - I'm sure it'll be the same with these).
- They missed my request for a back of collar button on the pop-over
- The pocket on the pop over is, in my opinion, too big in relation to the rest of the shirt. I'll probably get it recut or ask Luxire to send me a new one. This is just a personal preference thing, though. I didn't give them actual pocket measurements. I am sure that if I had actually specified pocket measurements they would have made it exactly to my specifications.
- Somehow my order for monogramming on the two dress shirts was missed - it was meant to be navy, Fishtail font. For the popover, the colour is right, but the font wrong. For the dress shirts the monogram is in their Script font and in the colour.... rainbow. It's very odd. I would imagine rainbow stitching would be far more difficult to achieve? Anyway I don't really care in the slightest since I'm the only one who will ever see these. But it is certainly... unique! Very 80s. Maybe Luxire can make this their trademark...
And finally a few fit pics, these are taken with no collar stays in (unfused collar) - I kinda like the look it gives.
Anyway, I am off to place an order for some linens...

These shirts are still unironed - creasing/rolls are likely due to me holding the iPad while trying to take a photo
