VRaivio, you are right, if this happens to many other people, then of course it will start to raise red flags. It is also a very. . . interesting method that I have seen few other vendors do.

+1. Even Luxire's description of the events don't make it seem that egregious. About the collars and cuffs being sent without buttonholes, even if that is standard in the industry, a normal customer would never know that. I sure as hell would expect buttonholes on them and would never in a million years think I need to clarify that point.

My second shirt from Luxire and first pair of trousers: a navy denim chambray shirt (washed to lighten) and chinos in British Khaki Twill Chino 9oz. I am very pleased with the order particularly the shirt, especially given the back and forth I had in order to correct for the significant drop in my right shoulder. Have to say I highly recommend the twill, nice weight to it but yet still soft. Apologies for the poor quality pics!

Did we ever get an answer to what collar that is?

He answered this for me last week:

Order number is #9295, but I actually found the collar on tumblr here: http://notjustties.tumblr.com/post/93962980633/hi-there-impeccable-dressing-today-the-mtm-ss I just quoted the number in the link but requested only 0.25 inch tie space and unfused medium lining.

@p.henrik Yeah, I actually posted the order number and a link to the details found on tumblr a few pages back

Anyone else have a problem adding the White Fresco Chambray to cart?

I can't add it either, sold out perhaps?

 

[J T Fuentes]

Perhaps, but I received a swatch of it with my last order. I emailed about it anyway just to check, awaiting a reply

 

[cardiffrover]

J T,

Please let me know what you find out. I was doing a pre-purchase search on the White Fresco Chambray when I saw your post.

 

[J T Fuentes]

Good timing haha Will do man!

I'm about to take a job that will actually require me to wear a tucked shirt. Almost all of mine are of a length/style designed to be worn untucked, but I do have a good candidate to be used as a pattern with some minor adjustments. The new job starts in a month so I'd like to get things rolling.

Since the NJ office is closed until January, I plan to use the prepaid label to ship my existing shirt to India. I just want some minor adjustments to the measurements, so it should be pretty standard. The one thing that I do want to change is the collar. I know opinions vary, but is there a consensus safe bet for a collar option if it's always going to be worn open-collar and usually without a jacket? Looking at the item order page I was thinking of semi-spread but wondered if there are any "great" options. FWIW I'm going to request a slightly lowered second button, which I'll wear buttoned.

edit: the collar on atoms' shirts looks promising, and he provided these details: "These are their semi-spread collars but I order them at 1-3/4" height instead of their standard height (which I believe is 2"). They are unlined for my linen shirts. I just measured the length of the front edge and it's exactly 3". Except for height as mentioned, I've never changed the collars on my non button down Luxire shirts since the first order. Keep in mind I'm a small framed man with 16" shoulders. If you're much larger, the proportions could be off. HTH."

@luxire Like the White Fresco Chambray, I can't customize and buy the "Monti of Italy - White Poplin 2/140" (the Monti 2/120 can't be purchased either). Please advise if there is a website or
stock issue.

What are the differences between the pocket styles. Are these slant pockets?


How can I advice Luxire to make the the buttonholes for the "lower waistband" (or however this is called) like this (with "eyes")?

 

[clapeyron]

1) those are slanted pockets, since they are slanted. The other option would be pockets on the seam, which I'd recommend for high waisted trousers, or as a third option frog pockets, which add a certain charm to work wear inspired clothing

2) ask for the button holes of this lower hidden tab (not sure what it's actually called) to be made as key hole button holes.
