Hello,

I am just asking myself if some of you have already specified custom collar with one-piece placket / collar / neckband. No doubt about skills and craftsmanship at Luxire but truthfully curious about achieved results.

Best regards,

Interesting. These are pretty high IMHO. How much are you thinking? I know I’ve got a bit of a #dadbod going on.

I'd have to concur that I think these look quite low rise tbh. I'd probably increase the front and back rise with 1 inch or so, possibly a bit more on the front than in the back t make them more level, but that's depending a lot on your build. And also adding the same to the overall width, depending on how aggressive you'd want the tapering. But it's very hard to tell with layman's eyes, Luxire can probably give you better results.

What I will say is that moving into a higher rise feels very strange and very high from the get go, but once you nail it and are used to it, wearing low rise will feel very wrong.

Carbon footprint is a trade off for fit. If you are too concerned, don’t move forward—and maybe get off the net

Thanks for your facetious reply. Or maybe I’ll stump up for a local tailor. In fact , that’s exactly what I’ll do.

I have one of those "turner V3" collars. It's a nice medium spread, with hidden buttons in the collar points. It's not a button down, though

I have not kept up with this thread for a good long while. What is the current favorite white, twill fabric for a decent work shirt?

Got a pair of trousers in this fabric yesterday. Third pair from Luxire and quite happy with my fit.

Royal Navy Soft Twill Chino

100% Cotton, 238 gms/7-8 Oz Machine Wash Cold, Tumble Dry

I dont usually like chino fabric since it feels like cardboard to me, but this is very soft and nice.
Doesnt drape or hold a crease very well because of the softness.


I will probably order more in similair fabrics for everyday wear

I will try to take better pictures later but it is hard since the blue is so dark.

Anyone that has a NOBD collar, is it a curved cutaway collar? It's hard to tell from the website. Any pics would be greatly appreciated as well.

Sorry for the slow response, I could not find any good photos so I had to take a couple of quick shots when wearing the shirts again.

Below is the NOBD-I

And here is the NOBD-II. Taller and less spread but nicer shape imo. I prefer this, but both are very nice and goes well with a suit! I only specify the collar type, no additional adjustments.

Some more pictures of the soft Chino.
To short, but that's easy to fix
They look a lot slimmer in the pictures than they feel...

I’d have the let out to get some nicer drape. But fabric looks nice, which one is it?

Very soft and therefore don't hold a crease, so maybe not optimal for drape. But I like it a lot!

Just measured and realized that the inseam is nearly 5 cm shorter than it is supposed to be in my pattern. Easy fix but still weird!

I was considering this, but take a look at the colour chart (it's on one of the Brisbane moleskins) and you'll see it's not really green.

The Luxire regular green moleskin isn't going to be restocked either (I emailed this week to ask).
