I am not 100% sure as I did not specify it, but I believe it is Persian Green Cool Linen Cotton. Whatever it is, it is lovely.

Thanks for commenting the on the fit. I didn't send in any samples, but I think I have measured 10 shirts and 7-8 pants trying to figure out accurate measurements.
I think I am going to narrow the right cuff (watch on left) and maybe the waistline a little as well.
For the pants I will contact Luxire to find a solution on the seat issue.
Now I have to decide on fabrics for next order

How do they correct it? Do you need to provide new measurements?

IIRC it involves something like rotating the seat seam to accommodate the hip/seat angle better. In this case there appears to be some tightness in the front as well, so there may be a fork width issue also. I've seen Luxire correct these issues effectively for others on here, so I am confident that if Luxire sees the pictures they can fix the issues with little user input. Especially given their new fitting plan!

About half a year ago, I recall talk of Luxire rejiggering its pant patterns, setting the legs at a different angle.

Do you guys know if this was applied to all pant patterns or just those that have been done since the change?

For those who've ordered the Barba spread collar as their go-to dress shirt collar, can you please let me know your preferred fusing/interlining preferences?

I used the dimensions and fusing/interlining listed in the collar spreadsheet for @Spandexter . There's a link to it in Luxire's signature.

It's pretty much the same thing as Kent Wang's program. Get a trial based on your measurements. Take pictures with trial on. Luxire remakes the item based on the pictures from the trial fit....and so on, if needed.

The similarity, if any, ends just there.

We will be custom making the standard sized shirt. So, it can possibly have subtleties that one may want and is aware of, like, sloping shoulders. Also, we intend to give the customer the option of sending images wearing shirt/pants he already owns. Our team will analyze those images and make changes to the trial garment.

The process will thus be as participative as the customer would like.


Quote:

Yes. That is the natural way of getting fit right. Try, review, alter, repeat. We intend to do the same with the review happening through images.
No no quick method, but, we are working on creating a set of guidelines that we can follow to speed up the process. We will also offer those guidelines for self-help.
Handling volumes is something we are working on.

The pattern needs to be cut in more of a U shape than a V.

What are the capacities looking like at the moment? I placed my order end of November and haven't received a shipping confirmation to date. Are others experiencing similar times?

That's definitely longer than normal. What did you order?

A pair of trousers and a shirt.

Hmm my only guess is one of the fabrics is something they don't stock and it's taken longer than normal for them to get it. I'd probably email Luxire and ask.

I have an unfulfilled order pending from August but it's for a non-traditional (then) request.

Your order is a bit on the longer side unless you requested a difficult fabric to source and/or you have very specific and perhaps atypical custom requests. Doesn't hurt to email Luxire for a status update.

I placed an order around the end of December that just shipped this week. It was a pair of trousers based on an existing pattern, but it was a H&S fabric that they didn't have on hand, so it took a little longer than most of my other orders. If you ordered in November, you should probably check with them and see what the holdup is.
