Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

Guys, the trunk shows are for the new bespoke service. They're not flying people in from India, so that we can look at swatches and get fit advice on shirts/trousers. Not saying I agree or disagree with the minimum purchase commitment, but think it's important to keep this in mind.

Maybe it's better to not refer to them as trunk shows. A "traveling bespoke consultation" is probably a more appropriate label.

Reason I think in person consultation for current garments makes sense is because of my personal back and forth with Luxire. They have redone garments for me at a fraction of cost in order to try and fix fit - at that point they're seeing hardly any revenue as it is.

If they were to 100% nail my fit in person and suggest all necessary fixes, my number of orders would go up. I haven't started doing any of my casual clothing yet.

I think the implementation of the $1.5k minimum is fair. You don't have to do the bespoke thing and if the demand is not there then maybe they will stop doing it. But there needs to be a separation between their current online business and someone flying in from India to start a bespoke process. There will be subsequent fittings (free of charge) so it's different than ordering something online.

As I understood, the $1500 garments can be used for future orders at a cheaper price online. Which makes it more an investment instead of an outright $1500 purchase imo.

I have no dog in this fight, but you're essentially arguing in favor of the $1,500 minimum commitment to the extent you are suggesting you would spend enough to make it worth Luxire's while if they gave you an appointment to nail your shirt/trouser fit.

Yes. Please.

Toronto! Yeashhhhh.

In a sense I guess. Overall, I'm not the customer that is going to spend $1,500 on 1 or 2 items. But I will spend $1,500 over the course of 3+ years by purchasing pants and shirts online. The only thing preventing me from going forward with more purchasing is that I don't have my fit fully nailed down yet.

I agree with this 100%. From a business perspective, I would much rather have 15-20 people have their measurements taken and order a shirt or two at the appointment than one client spend $1500. Happy clients would likely order more in the long term.

For a new customer, the traveling bespoke services could be quite ideal:

Purchase a $1500 gift card toward future orders and use the 1 on 1 appointment to get fitted for a suit, dress shirt, jeans, and other casual items. If I could get fitted for my entire wardrobe during the session then I'd say $1500 is very reasonable.

As we start working on a wider trunk show offering and presence, we are making a small change to the trunk show booking process.

Houston for sure would be a worthwhile location.

Is there any one who have done a soft bd with a higher collarband?
Looked at the spreadsheet but didn't find any thing there.

As new customer often wants to first try a new brand/tailor (by ordering a first shirt), before deciding to fully commit. Also, a first fitting done by yourself through internet or inperson by the tailor is never perfect. (Though in person will give you a far better initial result, because of the multiple fittings).

Fans of unnecessary complication may be interested to know that for my last pair of trousers I asked for a button and zip combo which provides the convenience of the zip but makes the fly sit flatter like a button fly. I find it's a useful compromise between the zip and the full Neapolitan chastity belt and I'll probably ask for this or similar on all trousers in the future.

Just received Drago flannel and Canclini shirt from Black Friday offer. Tell we what you think.

My 2 cents:

Luxire was never interested in offering bespoke shirts/pants. Despite giving listing (50 monies per item), I was given same advise as on email and during "bespoke" visit. For clarity purpose, "bespoke" charge was not applied, despite me willing to pay it in order to achieve desired fit.

I think Luxire fall in their own traps of willing to do everything to expand their clientele. However it seems their want to move to bespoke suiting and continue very flexible MTM for shirts and pants.

If I could turn time, I would avoid all hassle and look for local/traveling bespoke tailor to achieve shirts/pants desired fit despite the price. Then I would send items to Luxire to replicate which they are very good at.

I see this 3in1:
- you get to experience real bespoke service with initial steeper price
- you avoid failed attempts, unwearable items and save time
- send bespoke items to replicate to Luxire you will achieve this all desired bang for buck.

For the price I already paid for items which I am still looking to improve, I could already have 2-3 bespoke shirts from not so cheap traveling Italian bespoke shirts makers.

Ps. nothing bad to say about Luxire or their service, except that sometimes order "is being in production and will be sent in the beginning of next week" for a few month
