Some new arrivals here from Luxire, plus one back from the tailor after minor alterations.
Shirt in Khaki Red Tattersall Linen + White Twill Pants:

Trousers in Dugdale Fine Worsted - Duck Egg Blue Plain:
My photo here is a little washed out. In reality the colour is darker than this but lighter than the photo on Luxire's website. These are a fantastic and comfortable lightweight wool for warm weather.
Shirt in Khaki Red Tattersall Linen + White Twill Pants:
I love the shirt, but I am particularly pleased with the pants as this is the highly elusive Opaque White Trouser. At Ashish's recommendation they are lined in a lightweight cotton for comfort and opacity.
Luxire Wool Overcoat in Grey Plaid Wool:
Nicely made and lined. Incredibly warm and heavy wool flannel.
And just for fun, introducing the Luxire Overcoat Suit:
What happened was some time ago I had the pants made, and since they were so damn warm I figured the material would make a good coat. (OK, so maybe I wouldn't actually wear these pieces together. But I could totally pull it off because I roll hard couture.)
Make a jacket and a vest in the same material and you'll have a 4-piece suit!
Starting my linen cotton collection and I can't decide between a button down or NOBD II collar. Shirts will mainly be be worn casually untucked with shorts/jeans. Any thoughts?
Considering ordering chinos tonight, getting 20% off (one of the new fabrics) and I'm a bit curious of construction and choices regarding chinos etc.
Front pockets - is "on seam" the "standard" choice for trousers?
Secondly - lining: thinking of getting the Stone Twill Chino (link below); should I get no lining/front lined til knee/front lined til knee?

Anyone order the blue seersucker dress stripes yet? Mine is on the way.
I ordered the swatch for the third time. I keep getting a different multi-colour seersucker. But this time, I'm sure they'll get it right. Hi @luxire.
Looking forward to seeing pics of your shirt, MrJ.
I personally prefer slant pockets as they're less likely to gape open. Though seam pockets may be better on pleated pants.
Seam vs. Slant is commonly debated/discussed. See http://www.styleforum.net/t/135357/i-hate-on-seam-pockets for an example.
I think Luxire mentioned that lining isn't 'standard' on their cotton trousers but that it's an option for those who prefer it.
