My first order took about a week but every order since has been 4-6 weeks with only small changes. Email turnaround is about a week. Patience Is key.

how long can I expect for an order to ship? I just put in an order for two shirts sunday night. Is it generally less than 2 weeks or what?

What are you looking for? I've got one of both. The fresco is more refined, tighter weave and holds shape better. The hopsack has more surface interest and is probably cooler wearing, also extremely comfortable to wear in general.
Thanks for the info. I was actually responding to the post from @TheAnswer

Thanks for posting that. It saved me having to do so. Those albini chambrays run $179. And the first person to buy one has to say if they make a good dress shirt

Well all the proper cloth guys use theirs for dress shirts, so it should be good.NMWA also uses it as a dress shirt fabric.

I have the light blue chambray from my bespoke shirtmaker and it's awesome. IMO I would source some nicer buttons than the ones Luxire offers to do the cloth justice.

@luxire I would like to get a chambray work shirt made in the classic American style. The only option I can find is this http://luxire.com/products/blue-denim-slubby-chambray and I was wondering if you can suggest anything else as it is a little darker than I would like. Are the Brisbane Moss chambrays suitable or are they more suited to dress shirts?

I have 5 or 6 Albini chambray shirts and they definitely have different quality levels for their fabrics. Some of them are great and others are just okay.

Interesting. I wonder if albini has different books that have chambray. If so, these are probably the nice ones (judging by the price)

I don't know… maybe it's just what I perceive to to be a lesser quality when in actuality it's just that they're different.
