Beautiful shirts, gus.

If your Finamore MTM are comparable to your bespoke Matuozzo, that is high praise.

Nice roll on the Finamore collar; undoubtedly, they're stiffer than Anna's.

Thanks everyone for your kind words!

As for the comparison to Matuozzo: yes, the Finamore collar is definitely stiffer (I asked for as soft collar as possible, but it is not at all in the Matuozzo league). Also, Anna's construction is superior I would say. However, the fit on these Finamore's is outstanding!

Picked up some Brooks Brothers Luxury shirts the other day, 2 for $159, made in USA of Egyptian Cotton- very comfortable shirts.

Beautiful shirts. Do you typically wear a tie with your business casual attire?

Not always. I will wear (did today actually) the brown and blue one with a solid or mostly solid tie. The purple was intended for no, and the yellow and blue will likely see some days with a tie and some without.

I think it's pretty good. He has a bunch of fabric in shirt lengths that you can go through. And of course he has 'the books' with a pretty wide selection. He also said he was going to get his hands on a ton of additional fabric soon.
