Here's their 30s style shirt, looks like a good starting point for a workwear collar: https://custom.luxire.com/blogs/luxire-custom/6514547-classic-vintage-shirt

Also, here's their collar landing page: https://beta.luxire.com/#/attributes/collar?type=luxire-button-down

Thanks, hadn't seen that before. Would be helpful to see some photos of it worn and unbuttoned. @luxire , do you have any photos like that?

You are not the only one. I keep sending emails and they keep telling me they will be sent out early next week.

Glad it's not just me...same response on my trousers with VBC fabric.

Some VBC fabrics were restocked last week and orders in those should be shipped soon.

There are some good images of the classic shirt on the Fedora Lounge. This is a good starting point.

To those who purchased the Natural Ecru Linen Hopsack, how see through are they?

I know you got one reply but I just wanted to second that these aren't see through at all, in my experience. I have a bunch of tattoos on my legs so it's a concern that I look for.

Question for @luxire and @LuxireStudio
Since you can order Dugdale fabrics, can you also get Dugdale buttons? It would be nice to have them as options for tailored jackets.

Miscellaneous: The internal drawstring (in my view a useful way to avoid the colonial overtones of a belt) is horrible. It's the cheap kind that comes in a gym bag, and it doesn't really work. I knotted it on each end, so it provides some service. I didn't specify what kind of drawstring I'd like, but I never envisioned this would be the stock option. The cheap plastic fobs dangle outside the jacket. The buttonholes and stitching are of disappointing quality. I'd expected some hand work, given the price ($450!). Under the collar, the machine stitching actually runs off the seam in a crooked line (see below). The hidden placket is only lightly tacked, and clearly won't stand much heavy use. In fact, one of the tacks had already ripped apart by the time I received the jacket. Compared to the handwork, stitching, buttonholes, and tacks of Luxire pants, this is a major disappointment, especially considering this is essentially a heavy, expensive shirt.

Thanks for posting your experience with your safari jacket.

The buttonholes on Luxire tailored garments have not been up to their overall high standard. I have pointed this out to them several times over the past couple of years. They are generally getting better but there has been surprising variation in buttonhole quality from one jacket to the next. Despite the general improvement in their buttonholes, in my experience their basic keyhole buttonhole stitching has not been as good as that found on department store RTW jackets. I find this very odd since they do so many other things well.

I think you have to be extremely specific about uncommon details such as internal drawstrings. That being said, Luxire has been very good to work with--you might try e-mailing them to see if they can change out the drawstring to something more suitable if you can provide photos of what you want. I'm sure they would also repair the placket.
