I received my first Luxire shirt.

They followed my measurements exactly - copied from a well-fitting shirt. However, the Luxire shirt is very uncomfortable. Whenever I reach for something the whole arm and shirt gets pulled with the arm. As such driving in the shirt causes the cuffs to ride up several inches.

What can I change or request to make the shirt more comfortable through the armhole and arm? Note it is not a numbers issue.. Luxire followed my numbers exactly, e.g. the armhole is just right at 11". It must be an angle or cut issue..

If they copied it exactly, just measure each shirt against the other and see where the difference is.

Do you gents have any suggestions for a cheap fabric that could still be worn often, for my very first shirt? And as such, an expected less that optimal fit.

Their cheaper oxford fabrics.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a day-to-day blue from Luxire? I've got a ton of linen and I have the Sky Blue Summer Chambray, but unfortunately I believe the new Sky Blue Summer is a newer fabric that isn't as good as the old. Something close to this would be great.. I've got some swatches but was looking for other ideas as to what everyone liked. End-to-end and Chambrays preferred. Maybe an oxford.

No pics, but I have two shirts made in this fabric. I like it. Softness is clearly pretty subjective, but I'd say it's neither soft nor stiff (this is after 5 or 6 times through the wash), and wrinkles pretty easily, but given its casual nature this isn't a big deal for me. Living in the mid-atlantic, I wear this from about mid September to mid May.

and premium MOP buttons.









I'm impressed with the cloth.

Looks great, but how would you wear that? Casually without a tie?

2 buttons there without a tie looks weird imo

This is pretty soft considering the weight. I absolutely love the fabric and compared to a lot of other oxfords I've had in the past it's much much nicer. It's probably closest to softness to the oxfords from J Crew if that comparison helps.

I wish I knew which of Luxire's other oxfords were like that, and I really wish they offered more patterned oxfords because it's my favorite fabric by far.

I like the look of that Sky Blue oxford fabric. I intend to get one made up using the NOBD II collar (which I've had altered slightly on previous shirt orders to fit me better, longer collar points, slightly higher band) and cut like a "dress" sport shirt, Finamore style.

Also, does anyone own this shirt material http://luxire.com/products/purple_pinpoint_oxford - would be keen to hear reviews from those in the know

I have this shirt and I agree softness is subjective, it is an oxford cloth after all. I don't find it wrinkles but I sit at a desk all day

I have 6 oxfords from Luxire and none of them are close to J. Crew's softnesses.

Alright, well, I have the sky blue oxford hanging next to a J Crew oxford in my closet and while they aren't identical, they're pretty close as far as oxfords go. The J Crew is a bit thicker, and older (I've washed it quite a few times, and I just got the Luxire one this past week), but it's still pretty similar.

edit: Which oxfords do you have and are any similar to the sky blue oxford? I'd like to pick up a few more but there's serious inconsistency with the details on Luxire's website.

The sky blue oxford wrinkles much more easily than most j crew or brooks bros oxfords. It's most similar to brooks' white oxford, which is a decent bit crunchier. I still like it and have 3 shirts in the stuff
