    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    I have no doubt they can make it as I too have seen several “can Luxire make . . .” questions. My question was just poorly worded. I suppose I am hoping for someone that has had a successful attempt at it who might give me an order number I can reference or a fabric suggestion. Thanks to @SimonC...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Has anyone had a trench coat made? I haven’t looked yet to even determine if Luxire has appropriate cloth for this approach, but I am struggling to find one OTR that fits and Luxire may be my last resort.

    Viccel.com socks

    With the old website I used to be able to able to select a specific size. Now when I try to order I am only able to select from different size ranges. If I select the range that my size falls within, will I still be getting the same size that I have gotten in my past orders. By that I mean if I...

    suede shoes - post 'em here!

    I am looking for a brown or polo suede wingtip. The problem is I wear a US 15 narrow. I had my eye on the Carmina austerity brogue but it is now out of stock. Does anyone else who reads this thread have big feet and if so any suggestions on where I can go looking? $500 USD is the outermost...

    Bespoke suits Big and tall

    Chances are you are going to have a pretty hard time getting something off the rack. I am also big. People like us are pretty few and far between so when companies make suits that fit us, those suits are usually limited to navy, greys, or black. Suit supply won’t work for you because they...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Anyone who has purchased a patterned jacket, how well was Luxire’s pattern matching? That concern was the only thing that kept me from buying a POW during that brief suit sale.

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Has anyone paid for the at home trial for a suit they bought last week? I thought I saw in this thread that it would be $75 but Luxire just quoted me $100.

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    I have. I am pretty happy with it. The only problem is that the half belt at the back is too loose. I hope to get away with just moving the button placement, but I have yet to try it. Overall I have been very pleased and wore it to work all winter.

    Any suggestions on where I can go for a traditional double breasted trench coat that will fit a guy who wears a 48XL suit?

    GIIN - Official Affiliate Thread

    In October of 2016 I won a free pair of Giin boxers in a SF drawing. I was contacted and was asked about my size. After I told Jen my waist size (40) she told me that Giin didn’t make boxers in my size. I thanked her and told her that I understood, as it isn’t uncommon for me to not fit into...

    Can anyone speak to the opacity of the white cellulare? I am strongly considering getting a shirt made up but I have my reservations given how open the weave is.

    I encountered the same problem early last week.

    Narrow feet

    Can one of you help me decipher the letters that Carmina uses to denote width? Is EE wider than E, or narrower? How does an E relate to the numbering system we use in the states?

    Narrow feet

    Allen Edmonds has several styles come in narrow sizes.

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

     FWIW I just searched for just "loro". Since you have purchased Linen from Luxire before would you have any advice as to whether you think this particular linen is heavy enough for a suit jacket?

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

     Yup, these ones. I am trying to decide between a Linen suit or a new over coat.

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    The LP Linen is 5.7 oz. Is that heavy enough for a suit to be made from it? Luxire describes it as good for pants or jackets but it seems pretty light.

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    @emptym and @lefty and anyone's else who has had a jacket made, for that matter. Did you send in a sample jacket for replication? What are the limitations on Luxire's capacity to replicate the "guts" of the jacket? Were you relegated to getting the jackets unstructured?

    Waxing an Unlined Jacket

    It is already a cheap jacket. It is a military style jacket I wear in the fall. Breathability isn't a concern, it isn't a sport coat although I would understand why my question was misleading. I just haven't ever had a waxed jacket before and I am concerned that without the buffer of a lining it...
