    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    I have asked something like this before and got no response, but has anyone here used Luxire to make cycling kit, specifically a jersey? I am not the right size for 99% of off the rack kit and if I could capably get a cold weather jersey from Luxire I would likely do so.

    Apologies if asked before but when I search “tweed” all I get back are Molloy donegal tweeds. Is that the extent of the available tweeds?

    Another question: I have a jacket pattern on file with Luxire which I like. I am strongly considering getting a casual unstructured and unlined jacket made. Could I just use my same pattern and ask that it be unstructured and unlined, or would that be met with a misshapen jacket?

    How would you all suggest I ask to have my left sleeve cuff adjusted to accommodate a watch? Specific increase in diameter of cuff and hope I get it right, or just ask them to add in some ease to accommodate a dress watch and hope they get it right?

    Is 9 oz heavy enough for a suit?

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    I could use some advice re: linen suiting. I would like one in either a navy or tobacco brown. I will wear it in the depths of the midwestern American summer. This will be my first linen suit so I am not sure what weight to get and whether the fabrics enumerated below are viable options. 1)...

    At 6’8” and 285lbs I appreciate what they offer for the same reason. It has been a Godsend for me because most stores simply do not carry items that fit me and those that do rarely carry things I am interested in wearing.

    Did you send in a sample jacket for these or just alter the pattern for a standard jacket?

    Warm overcoats

    I had one made by Luxire. That may be more effort intensive than some will want to go, though. To help with sizing, I sent them a coat I already owned but did not like. I then picked out my cloth, requested several style changes over the sample coat, and had a trial fitting. I now I have a coat...

    Apologies if this has been answered before, but what is the price for a suit made from one of the $299 fabrics?

    Does this mean that if we had an email still pending when the sale ended that the sale price may still be available to us?

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    I am soon to order my second suit from Luxire. I am generally happy with the first pair of pants but I would like the rise to be about one inch longer on the new pair. Any suggestions on how I communicate that? I am not even sure what I want other that the pants to come up an inch higher all...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Has a consensus been achieved on how best to ask for an increase in rise? Can I get away by just asking that the rise be increased an inch or do I need more specific instructions related to both back and front rise (assuming that the waist size will not change).

    I ordered it eons ago. The delay in production was my own doing, but I am pretty sure I did machine half-canvas, going for the least expensive option for my first suit. I suspect I will try full canvas for future purchases. I will try and remember some pictures next time I wear it.

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    I recently received my first Luxire suit and I am very happy with it. I sent in a jacket for replication and used an existing pants pattern. I also paid the extra $100 for a trial fit of the jacket and I am very glad I did so, it allowed us to work out some kinks that would have made the jacket...

    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...
