Heh I'm not sure I follow, how does lining make them LESS hot?

Well I didn't sayining makes them less hot, at least I didn't mean to say that ?
But it makes them more comfortable / the itching more bearable...
And honestly, it's not such a big deal. I have some old woolen pants in the theatre as a part of a costume, these itch big time, and even these are like "first 10 mins" then I forget about it completely...

Edit: I might have mystified you guys, my trousers are actually Dugdale flannels, not VBC... Sorry for the confusion...

Lining will make the trouser feel colder outside during the winter since you´re not in direct contact with the wool but rather the lining. Being inside though, its hotter.

When did you send it? Maybe I should contact the Indian customs.

12 December, but sending out before Christmas is always problematic. It took 10 days to leave the country.
Mine is still tracking though. If yours isnt tracking, its going to be hard to "track" down.

Hello,

Looking to order a pair of trousers for the Scandinavian winter and the cold that goes along with it. Looking for a heavy beige fabric similar to the ever so popular Natalino cotton trousers: https://natalino.co/products/double-pleat-trouser-cream-cotton?variant=30252618154043

Any fabric suggestions? This would be my first pair from Luxire and I find myself a bit lost in the sea of options regarding both fabrics and customisations.

I find this, which could be the same fabric:

Brisbane Moss Khaki Heavy Cotton Twill

100% COTTON 400 G/M2 HAND-WASH

luxire.com

Luxire can source Brisbane Moss fabrics (with some lead time), so you might review BM's site and send an inquiry to Luxire about getting the exact product you're interested in.

First part of my BF order arrived a couple of days ago. This is my 9th order from lux and the first one with issues regarding the items. In short the navy pique was supposed to be made as a LS polo, but were made as a shirt. The navy chino is supposedly 100 % cotton, but has stretch. Both issues were nicely solved by CS and I look forward to ordering from lux again. View attachment 1310413

Is the the cotton-linen wide stripes? Let me know how it wears after a few washes. Curiously, the fabric looks different on the luxire site now than it used to, maybe you got the last of the actually wide stripes.

These are one of my first Luxire trousers, Brisbane Moss 18 oz., what can I say about this, never order pants from heavy fabric with a low rise, it was a mistake

Is that a heavy olive cord? Can you link?

 

[Mr Stevens]

Received my BF orders quite quickly (one even before Christmas).
Two pairs of cords fit near perfect. The cloth is not as nice as the Brisbane Moss I got a couple years back, but the execution was essentially flawless.
After 11 previous orders from Luxire, the shirts I ordered represent the first disappointing experience I've had (though it is largely my fault). I did the buy 2 get 1 Oxford, and the cloths were all quite nice. For two of them I modified the collar slightly from the Kamakura version. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but it switched to a custom collar (perhaps, I clicked something wrong?). Ended up that the collars came not as button downs (detail lost when it switched to custom?), so I'll need to ship them back to Luxire to have buttons/holes added. Not a huge deal, but I guess I'm out another $35 to ship them back.
For the third shirt, I chose a "Work Shirt". I swapped the collar to NOBD-2, and again some features must have been lost. When I clicked on Additional Features, I chose the work shirt pockets (don't know why they're not selected there by default), but somehow when you click this, it unchecks the triple stitching. This is still the case on the website, so be careful if you are looking to order something similar (i.e. make sure nothing was unselected if you modify any features). Also, the work shirt gusset is not exactly what I expected (see spoiler below). I assumed it meant the chainstitch runoff threads (not a slightly frayed patch). Also, I had assumed the stitching would be white (or somehow contrast) like shown in all of Luxire's pictures here and on their website, but they chose to use a matching blue, which renders them largely invisible. I was informed that I should have provided example images, but I just assumed they would use similar stitching to all of their work shirt examples. I should have caught these things in the confirmation email, but I missed it among the text and html tags.

In short, all of these things are my fault - I suppose, I should have caught them in the confirmation email and known to send them an example of a work shirt. I thought I'd let folks here know anyway in case anyone is looking to order a work shirt and doesn't notice that a bunch of features have been changed when they modify another feature of the style. At this point, I don't really see myself wearing the "work shirt", which is a shame since the cloth is pretty nice. All told, it will end up being ~$265 for two shirts. Not terrible, but not quite the deal I was excited about in November.

Ah cool, thanks! So yours is "Green 1983"? Is the cloth too heavy for you to recommend generally, or just don't get with too low a rise?

Green 982
The photo on the site incorrectly conveys color.

This fabric would be perfect for a jacket.
But I can recommend it for trousers, but only trousers with a loose fit and a high rise, not slim fit.
I took a sample of needlecord trousers Zegna Sport low rise and medium weight they held well at the waist, GS20 trousers fall by their own weight, you need to tighten the belt, and it's not comfortable.
Sorry for my English, I hope you understand me.

Yes, its the cotton linen wide stripe. I will try to remember to report back when summer has arrived.

Have the VBC covert cloth arrived?

The tan is still awaited, has been stuck with customs.

I always chose custom and leave the message "See separate email for details" in the notes. Then I email them my specific details. Has worked every time for several years.
