Is this the right way to order swatches?
1. Add the swatches' names in the cart overview: e.g.: Casual Denim Shirt, Navy Denim Cambray etc.
2. After I've paid for the shirts, I go to additional service and pay for the number of swatches. How do I pay for the swatches if I am going to order 18 swatches? Do I have to first pay for the $10, then $5 and $1 3x times?

I believe the fabrics are prewashed to prevent this although some members have mentioned some shrinkage, I haven't noticed any with mine so far.

Yes from Luxires website

http://luxire.com/pages/quality-and-satisfaction

All my Luxire shirts shrink substantially. I run them through 3 washer/dryer cycles to get any shrinkage out of the way, then hang dry after that. I know that in my shirt's lifetime, it's going to be impossible for me to avoid all machine drying, especially if I'm travelling. I do my best to predict the amount of shrinkage by taking before and after measurements of each shirt I get. Plus I don't think hang drying is a total panacea; the shirt is still going to shrink, only slower.

I might have some mild anterior pelvic tilt as well, but not so much to cause some of my pants to look like my behind got cravings for cloth. However, I have one pair of chinos waiting to be made, and I asked if they could increase the back rise from the bottom as instructed as well as decrease some form the top; I hope it helps.

Meaning, you two have too much muscle to fit in normal pants? I know you're like Voxsartoria Jr. with your build, BG. At least some of it.

Does Luxire account for the shrinkage of the fabrics by default?

Or should I add a requirement to add extra length to the dimensions based on the used fabric so that the shirts would have the given measurements after 2-3 washes? I have some lower quality MTM shirts and sometimes some fabrics shrink unxpectedly.

I found that the oxfords shrink a tiny bit, where as my slubby chambray and flannel didn't shrink much at all. Anything I noticed as in the length of the shirt, and possibly a little in the sleeves as well. If you have something that fits well I wouldn't alter it much, if at all.
