I agree it got lost but I protest you calling the discussion "spam" ?

Will check this today and update.

I think it holds a good crease. Image shows quick fold by hand, cellphone image.

Shade appears much lighter here and darker on the product than irl.

@luxire , out of curiosity - you are still of the opinion that you will fulfill all BF orders by the end of the year (you wrote something like that if I'm not mistaken)?

@luxire , any update on this statement?

We are working on it.
Many orders have already been shipped.

For orders for which we have received all details, I see a good possibility of they getting fulfilled this month. But, we never know, in a manual process, what comes up.

Because there is not much information about Luxire's jacket program available, I'd like to contribute some. In order to diversify my sources I decided to try Luxire and sent a well fitting MTM jacket for replication. I chose the machine made version with a full canvas (as well as a milanese buttonhole on the lapel). I also opted for the trial at home, which I can fully recommend (there were some issues with the collar that have been resolved). Because of unknown reasons, the finished jacket had too long sleeves, so it had to make another stop in Bangalore.

All in all the process took about 6 months (about 4 for the first iteration, then I also got the sample jacket back). The communication with Luxire has throughout been excellent, they were very helpful and did double check, if something was unclear (which I appreciate). It was great to be able to customise every aspect of the jacket (lapel shape etc.).

I'm very happy about the finished product, which is of a good workmanship and quality overall. This will not have been my last jacket by Luxire. See for yourself (fabric is Holland and Sherry, Sherry Tweed, jacket is 3r2 with roped shoulders):

@weriker Do you have photos of the jacket they copied as well? Would be interesting to see how closely they´ve copied the details.

@luxire A lot of the cheaper plaids/tartans are sold out. Some only recently during BF sale, others have been for quite a long time.

Will you get them back in? If not, will you get others? One of the things that positively separates you the most from other online MTM tailors are your huge selection of casual fabrics, not only dress shirts.

A lot of questions right now. But you missed this one, it seems.

Will review the tartan/checks scene. There are many fabrics we have in stock but are either not listed or difficult to find. Will get that sorted in a few days.

@luxire Does your EThomas Wool Cashmere Blackwatch Tartan have a texture that feels like it's flannel? Or is it more towards a twill feeling? It's hard to tell from your website.

Very much twill. Cell-shot below.

Thanks! So, does this cloth have the same texture and feeling as your Brisbane Moss Twill chinos?

That would be difficult to compare. This EThomas is a blend of wool and cashmere, woven to the best standards known to mankind.
The Brisbane Moss is a good quality cotton.

The tartan feels amazing. I can probably wear anything made in it almost throughout the year except on very warm days, over 30 C temperature.

Well, I didn't have the jacket exactly copied - I sent it in mostly to copy the measurements.

That said, I'll spoiler the reference jacket:

What it does show you is how large the freedom of customization is, I requested changes in:
- lapel size and shape
- gorge height
- shoulder construction and padding
- skirt/open quarters
- height of buttoning point, 3r2 instead of 2 buttons

I didn't get the impression that there was a limit in customization options

How long did the overall process take?
