Francesco is not good at e-mail - best to call them and make an appointment. Else, just drop by his atelier, which is next to Finamore HQ.

No shame, I'm rocking the CT 5 days a week!

Sorry my picture-taking abilities suck, but here are a couple new Cegos. Carl chose some neat two-hole, vintage mop buttons for them. Lt to rt -- Japanese chambray and vintage American oxford:



Looking forward to breaking these in. Both should get better w/ age.

I recently changed my mind on shirt buttons.
Thick ones might look nice and be SF approved, but they are a pain to button up, they get stuck in the waistband of my jeans and sometimes they are visible through my sweaters, therefore I will go with flat ones in the future.
1.5-2mm does not feel sharp-edged to my fingers and at the same time does not show through my sweaters or limit my mobility.
The ones of the left shirt just look about perfect, they have a very appealing diameter, shape and color.
Will two hole buttons hold up against wear and washes as well as four hole ones would?

i put some snail colored 3.5mm on a shirt. i had trouble buttoning them. i think i will change them.
anything less then 2.mm will not feel good when buttoning and will have a better chance of breaking
2 holes should hold up just fine. the buttons on the left are really nice.
i think they are at least 20-30 years old

I don't like thick buttons. I find them difficult to button.

HUGE +1.

 

I have some Borrelli shirts and buttoning the cuffs especially really hurts my fingers!

I love every single one of your shirts.  The colors, collars, and everything is perfect.  Is it possible to email them my measurements or will I need to fly to Italy?  Please give me all of this information. I would greatly appreciate it.
