I am planning on ordering from Luxire after a three-year absence (I had enough stuff to wear, so no need to order).
Last time I've ordered, the following things were true:
Has anyone else ordered after such a long absence based on an older pattern? I was going to order shirts based on a previous order and the pants based on a bespoke pattern (has anyone ordered a chino based on a bespoke suit pattern before?).
- MOP buttons were thick, I know that they have changed them to thin ones. Is it still possible to order the thick ones? I prefer them.
- It used to be possible to order premium MOP buttons for a $20 surcharge, is this still possible?
- Sky Blue Oxford and Warzone Plus White Oxford were $70 per shirt, now they are $100 per shirt. Have the fabrics changed? Increased in quality? Or just the increase in demand made it possible to raise the prices?
Need for recommendations:
Thanks for the help.
- For a white business shirt, I was going to go with the Monti Soft White Plain Poplin. Anyone with a better choice?
- For a blue business shirt, I am undecided between the Monti Classic Blue Fine Twill and the Light Blue Twill 2/140. Anyone wants to weigh in or has a different recommendation?
Hi all, I am considering to buy some few basic business shirts at Luxire. Are there any specific recommendations for:
- White;
- Blue; and
- Patterned (striped / checked)
Fabrics? My budget is 100$ a shirt maximum. There are so many fabrics available, with even more reviews on each fabric that I am a little bit overwhelmed.
I thought about one of the following fabrics:
White
Light blue

The thick MOP buttons are no longer available.
Premium MOP buttons are still available.
Oxford fabrics of our quality are difficult to get. Hence, we started getting those made. As we are were anyways getting them made, we chose to upgrade, using Egyptian Giza yarn. Everything together led to significant increase in cost, but I think the fabric is a lot more superior now, both in comfort and durability.

The Monti and Brembana fabrics we have been adding in recent times are all very good. The Brembana one are a few notches higher.
The buttons have always been custom made for us.Thanks for the reply. The thicker ones are definitely not available or is there a minimum order number where you could make an exception?
@luxire
After the recent price increase on dugdale cavalry twill do you have any other options inbound? Either cavalry twill, covert twill or whipcord?
^ Received some options from Drapers and VBC today.
Do let me know the shades that are of interest. Will select accordingly.

I'd just go with the standard Luxire BD collar and let them take care of button placement. If it doesn't turn out like you hoped, it'd be very easy to move the buttons.Hey everyone,
I am planning to customize a BD Collar, but I am not sure about the right proportion between collar tip length and button placing for a nice collar roll.
For example the collar tip length is 8cm, in which distance you guys would recommend to place the buttons (imagine a straight line from the collar band to the end of the collar tip)?
Something in nice, light-to-mid gray. Close-ish to fresco 510242. Browns, preferably around tobacco flavours. Dark blue, but not extra dark navy.Do let me know the shades that are of interest. Will select accordingly.
