I am considering purchasing a Borrelli dress shirt off of Ebay. It is new in wrapper and from a reputable dealer. My only question is how well do they fit? I am naturally thin, so I have issues with baggy shirts. Thanks. - Craig

I, too. They blouse a good deal. I have darts put in mine and they feel alright that way. But still they don't fit as snug as, say, Prada or Zegna.

Depends on whether it was made for a department store (in which case it will be rather baggy), or if it's from their boutique (in which case it will quite be slim).

Measure a nice-fitting dress shirt you have, then compare the measurements to the auctions on eBay. Borrelli shirts are too expensive to go for a hit or miss kind of thing.

I've found Borrelli shirts fit quite large (not slim fitting), which is the way I like them. Check out Barba (also can be found on EBay) if you want slim fitting super-high end shirts.
