Bonfanti - Page 5

Very cool.

 

badsha: Yes, that's right.

Thanks Eustace. Prices are very similar to Alumo, may be a bit more.

Ok, which one you clowns sent Mr. Bonfanti a message under the name "Seymour Butts"?

badsha, is there a place where an individual customer can get a cut length of Alumo?

Unfortunately no. May be vintage Alumo in NY.

I

Some Bonfanti chambray shirts and polo shirts with collo Capri

Who made them?

Those look very nice. You sourced the cloth directly through Bonfanti? or the shirtmaker?

A shirtmaker I sometimes use for casual shirts, Ciriello http://www.principedigalles.jp/vestito/camiceria/ciriello.html, http://www.ciriellocamiceria.it/ . Should you consider ordering from him I suggest clearly specifying you want a soft unglued collar , at least that's what I do.

I sourced the fabric directly from Giancarlo Bonfanti.

Anyone order the Voile or the Levanto = Chambray?

I purchased fabric from the New York, Belfast and Etamine ranges, all of which are listed in the "Voile-Zephire" shop. I've had shirts made from the NY and Belfast cloth and like them a lot. But you have to like light, very fine shirting. If you looking for BB oxford cloth, forget these. All are very light in weight and sheer but not see-through. NY is broadcloth, Belfast is Twill and Etamine is textured like an oxford but I don't know if it is actually considered an oxford weave.

Thanks. New York is 170/2 so assumed it will be light weight. Hopefully I will like the cloth. Looking forward to trying Levanto as well.

Then you should like the New York. It's a beautiful fabric for its type.

Fabrics arrived. Will post photos tomorrow. New York (Voile) and Levanto (Chambray). Voile is pretty thin, like G&R Luna.
