Yes, I only have sent shirts and result was impressive as many others have reported. Never sent slacks, but Simon Crompton did, looked pretty good, knowing how he nit pick stuff I guess results were good.
I am sad to see guys getting first trial pants so dreadful, despite Luxire promises they have improved pattern making.. wegies, diapers, pulling, bunching all over the place. And you know, nobody does 5 trial pants, everybody wants quickly go for at least VBC flannel. They are no 50usd.
I would have thought such initial results would be normal until I tried bespoke. How come so huge difference?
Fine, don't go bespoke. As someone suggested earlier, by classic pants in BB, get them to local tailor, send to Luxire. They confirmed results were great. But then again Luxire said no need, they improved their pattern making. Well, maybe some just get not so lucky.
I haven’t delved into what folks might define as “true bespoke”, but did have the opportunity to go through several iterations of pants after both trial fitting and in-person at the NYC trunk show. While there is always some room for improvement, I can say that each subsequent pair has gotten better and better. As folks have said, it’s a work in progress. Losing 20 lbs and going from Linen to Wool have also impacted my pattern.
