^ this is also true, but I guess it can't hurt to include all the measurements. I just got lazy and it was easier to just write down the number from my previous order.

 

[fridayfrenzy]

Yeah I may need to start including the full measurements again in future orders. Although the other problem with that is I've changed my measurements in small in remembers throughout 3 orders until I got my fits dialed in. And every time I would reference an old order and make changes like "reduce xxx by 1/2 inch," etc. so I'd have to go back and incorporate all the additions/subtractions to figure out the exact measurements they should have on file for me. Or I could just re-measure my last shirt and include those measurements along with the order #.

I have been referencing order numbers like you described as well, but if there was a problem area from previous orders I would only include that measurement with the instructions to "double-check". These are the instructions that Luxire suggested.

Please use measurements and style from order #XXXX
-Double check the collar is X.X inches

My comment was not really directed at you but rather the forum as a whole. The other side of that debate was adamant that adding the measurements is redundant . It is , but it's a cheap and easy failsafe when ordering multiple items on a singele order reference. Risk mitigation my friends.

It does look pretty good...too bad I can't use something like that in SoCal.

Can't try to make a lighter weight version?

I apologize if this has been covered recently, but I wondered if anyone had recommendations for a fairly high quality light blue fabric (not an oxford) that would work as a standard dress shirt. Something that could potentially be a "one shirt." An end-on-end fabric seems like a good choice. The most appealing one I see on the website is this:

http://luxire.com/products/pale-blue-end-on-end

But I gather that the website is limited and that it is sometimes possible to source additional fabrics that might be of higher quality.

Maybe http://luxire.com/products/pale-blue-poplin

I would not recommend this for a "one-shirt". As I suggest in my review on their site, I find this fabric a fraction too dark to be truly as versatile as Simplicio is looking for, plus the weave is somewhat lacking in interest (sure, it's a poplin, so you'd expect that, but I think for a really versatile shirt, some interest in the weave helps. Also, while the fabric is OK, it is very standard in feel, and if you were planning on wearing the same fabric most days, you'd probably want something a bit finer. Next order, I'm going to try: http://custom.luxire.com/collections/dress-shirts/products/pale-blue-poplin-140-2 as it looks to be a little finer, and a little paler. Still probably not an everyday shirt as you'd probably want some more surface interest for that, but I think it could be pretty versatile.

Thank you for the replies. I agree with Holdfast. And I think that a light blue end on end would probably be ideal. But I suppose my real concern is that these lower priced fabrics are not of sufficiently high quality. I may order some swatches, but I would not expect much. So I would be curious if anyone had found a different way to source fabric.

Does Luxire offer any cotton trouserings that aren't listed on the website? I'm specifically looking for some heavyish brushed cotton twills. I know Holland & Sherry and Scabal have offered this cloth in the past (both 100% cotton and cotton-cashmere).

When I asked Luxire directly for the measurements used in an order (replication of something I sent them), they suggested I just reference the previous order and do +/- on whatever I wanted to change.

I recall they said they base replica orders off a pattern so it's not really a "measurements" thing

Yeah, they have a "template". However, many customers like myself have more than one measurement set that we refer to. I have one for dress shirts and one for more casual shirts. Likewise with trousers. Including the measurement set is another QC measure for them to ensure the right template is being used and producing the right results.

It's 80F degrees today where I work...last week it was 62F. I can't justify it ....

Luxire Peacoat, Duffle coat and Overcoat measurement guides:

Are there measurement diagrams like this for suit jackets?? I've been wanting / waiting for that for a quite awhile now.

 

[koor]

That DB quilted coat and tie look awesome. Speaking of ties seems like the pricing for the high quality wool ties seem to be 49.99. Any chance of doing grenadine at this price? Custom legnth and width grenadine would be highly compelling at this price point. I think chipp2 and the knottery currently sit at this range (no customization of course).
