Hey all,

Having some trouble finding a good material for a pair of olive pants. Looking for something medium-light (say 200-300gsm) weight twill fabric for all seasons in Australia for office wear, and something that’s a nice deep/rich olive green colour. A lot of the options seem to be quite light or faded (is more like an light army green rather than a deep olive green).

Maybe something like this, but not as expensive and heavy?

100% COTTON 316 G/M2 IRON ON REVERSE HAND-WASH

This one might be ok, but the photos make it look quite brown rather than olive? Does anyone have any other photos than what’s on the website?

Olive Green Twill

100% Cotton, 185gsm, 6oz Perfect for chinos or casual pants. Machine cold wash, tumble dry

Would also take recommendations for a copper/dark khaki and khaki/tan/light tan material as well.

Thanks

@luxire Hi Luxire team, lets say I set the pants waist to be 34 inches. When making a thick jeans vs a linen trousers, do make them exactly at 34inches or do you add some inches extra for the thicker jeans?

First order from Luxire. I copied measurements from some pants that I already had and opted to just pick one of their less expensive fabrics to use in lieu of an actual trial pair. Haven’t had a chance to press them yet but should provide a good starting point for future orders with some minor modifications I think.

Very good for a first run. From my view, you should drop the back rise a bit to clean up the folds under the seat, and possibly reduce the inseam slightly while leaving the outseam as-is in order to clean up the fold by the knee. The fold at the knee is only on your right leg, though, so unless you're standing unevenly might just be that you're a bit bow legged on that side only.

For most fabrics, we still make it 34 inches, unless we are dealing with a fabric that is quite thick.

What about for this fabric compared to your normal: https://luxire.com/collections/jeans/products/broken-slub-selvage-jeans#/

How much more inches is added to the waist?
In addition, for jeans vs normal waistband, how do waist measurements differ? Are jeans waistband also slimmer for the same fabric as there is no banroll etc?

This will be made as 34. No additions.
Jeans vs slacks - no change in measurements.

Good experiment for you to do. we did not notice any significant difference in wear to warrant any changes.

Interesting. Because when i made trousers with above fabric, it was 0.5" bigger. And with turqoise jeans, 1 " bigger. This is causing me to be unsure what waist measurements to input for my next order.

@luxire Do you have any pictures how a classic orange VS burnt orange stitching thread would look like for jeans?

@luxire Do I understand it correctly that if the outseam / pant length is the same, reducing inseam will only lower the crotch point, as illustrated in my simple graphics below? If so, inseam doesn't really affect length or trouser break, right?

Couldn't this also mean a higher rise?

Usually this would be synonymous with rise, but Luxire uses "Front rise" and "Back rise" as names for the front center seam and back center seam. Theoretically you could have a really long front rise with a long (high) inseam, but then it would bunch in the crotch. I'm not sure what they would do if you asked for a really low inseam and really short rise. That would cause the waistband to bow down in the center to allow for the short measurements.

In my experience with Luxire, if you ask to change the inseam they will interpret that to mean that you want to change the length of the trouser leg.

I like to be in control of the measurements for later use. I'm the kind of guy that keeps an Excel file of all the measurements to optimize the fit.
