I'm glad the fabric pics were helpful guys. Sorry I didn't get a chance to check out white fabrics before leaving. If there's a white version of that Albini oxford, it would probably be a great choice. My personal favorite white fabric is an Indian-made fabric from an old MyTailor shirt. A very similar one was on the swatch page of one of the white G&R fabrics on sale for Black Friday. Of course, it's probably twice the price of the MyTailor Indian-made one. So it'd be great if Luxire could find MT's original Indian source. I'll post a closeup of it.
For now though, here's a few more shots from my trip:
The pattern master basting the jacket:
Basted fitting of back:
And front:
The back looked good to me, but was cleaned up a bit. The front shows that the collar was about 2" too long. It was removed and remade. That made it and the lapels look much better in a later fitting, which I unfortunately forgot to take pics of. But I'll post more when the jacket is finished and sent.
Hand staining the edges of those brown loafers.
Unposed shot of the loafers w/ Luxire linen shirt and the finished hemp jeans.
Jeans closeup:
The hemp denim is really beautiful irl. I tried to buy some more today, but it was sold out. Hopefully they'll restock.
I really enjoyed my stay in Bangalore and hope to come back w/ my wife. My deep thanks to Ashish, his family, and the Luxire crew for their warm and generous hospitality!
