Very nice. The fine twill weave looks crisp and should be pretty durable. Looking forward to when a tan or khaki becomes available. These kind of pants are so helpful for travel or commuting in rain, snow, slush.

Will check with the mill for the tan/khaki colors.

Hello all,

Awaiting Luxire feedback from private email, but would love others feedback.
I feel that the yoke and arm length are good, areas of most concern for me are chest (mainly near where arms meet the body), upper and lower back too baggy, and arms are too baggy. Thoughts on shoulder slope?

Is this pattern even worth tweaking or best to have this shirt (or other) locally altered and send in?

Any and all feed back much appreciated. standard luxire button down and sky blue oxford:

You will not be disappointed. It is a very interesting fabric. Can be worn casually in many different ways. I sometimes wear a dark indigo shirt with copper colored canvas pants and like the look.

Talked me into it, I'm a sucker for unique clothing. I can order now and give measurements later right? Would prefer to wait until I receive order #12962 since I changed my chest/armhole measurement. I assume order as normal and put something in the notes about emailing measurements at a later date?

LOL. no one is going to be looking up your bedroom.

After (perhaps) thousands of dollars in my own orders, I just ordered a shirt for my mother-in-law. Wish me luck!

^Nice! I offered a couple years ago to buy Luxire shirts as thank-yous for one of my former profs and one of my former students. Both were really excited about it, but neither has sent me the measurements despite my repeated reminders.

They did a great job with the Drake's cuff for me below:

This is essentially what I'm looking to do with my dark indigo denim chambray. Any hints/tips or perhaps even an order number? Many thanks.

Decrease armhole, decrease sleeve width at bicep, decrease waist width, and maybe decrease hip width if there is extra you don't like. Decreasing armhole makes the fit a lot better and you can raise your arms more freely. Chest width looks ok, decreasing might restrict movement but hard to say based on the photos. You should button up the second button to see if the creasing from the shoulders to the third button goes away. Your shoulder slope seems normal so I wouldn't make changes to that.

Yoke and arm length look ok to me too, but I can't see the shoulder seam from the pics and the arms are so creased that it is hard to say.

Don't make too large adjustments at once to get a shirt that can still be worn, but the biceps seem to have a lot of extra that can be removed to improve the looks greatly.

I don't think the fit is too far away from perfect so you could try to fix it yourself.

Just a short question taking into account that the denim shirt I'm seeking is currently on sale.
Would a slight shirring on the back and shoulders like on regular dress shirts make sense on a denim shirt or would it spoil the look, e.g. because the cloth is too heavy / thick?

Exactly like these two but without the handwork option and probably in between those two shades. I already had a look at your articles before and got to think about the shirring because as far as I know you order it on your dress shirts as well. For what reason did you decide against the shirring on your denim shirts?

I am looking for a shade like this: http://s1246.photobucket.com/user/cezinho78/media/69688EA2-D033-404A-82AA-9123A9F8D4FA.jpg.html
Would the shirt be more evenly faded if the fabric is washed prior to sewing?

 

[ammanati]

It looks pretty close to my darker shirt. No reason actually. If it was a wedding shirt I wouldn't go for shirring but any other shirt is ok, I think. I also wasn't very happy with the shirring at the beginning so decided it was safer to avoid it. I only made one shirt with shirring after that and it turn out better but still not as good as my Testoria shirt which I reviewed in one of the latest posts.

Fabric looks nice. Probably need to let the seat out a bit.
