So what's the process? You send them pictures, describe what you don't like and ask Luxire's suggestions? Or just write something general in the notes for the next order? I've sent a bunch of pictures to Luxire previously describing what I dislike, and the answer has always been in specific changes to the pattern, which I then copy to the notes. This is what I'd like to stop doing, and just write something like "eliminate horizontal folds below buttocks and improve back drape, reference to pictures shared over email" in the notes. I'd like to hear from Luxire, which is the format they prefer and think yields best results.

That's pretty much what I do.

Place order and add in notes further direction via email
Take pictures and share with Luxire
Tell them where I am having issues
They recommend changes
I approve
Goes to production

Monti Soft white twill

Silky body; soft, almost brushed surface. Opacity is good, you can see just a bit of contrast with the placket and pocket. Wrinkle resistance average, this picture was towards the end of the day, part of which I had the sleeves rolled up. Main downside is the soft surface can pick up lint, but I don't think it's noticeable by others. Overall, I'd recommend with above reservations.

Style note: I love pockets, but will have to forgo on future white dress shirts. Doesn't look great IMO.

Agreed on the pocket. It was the first thing I noticed and would not have gotten it or at least gotten it without the button.

The pocket might look better with a placket. I almost always get a placket and a single, buttoned pocket on my shirts. I think I have one from Luxire that has no placket and two buttoned pockets, plus a square hem with side vents -- to wear untucked w/o an undershirt in really hot weather.
