Very awesome thread & tie, Stitches. Congratz!

why thank you, kind sir.

Awesome tie. Great find and Kop.

thanks, tits!

I also have the one on the right. I prefer my collars a little more spread, but lovely shirt none the less.

funny thing i have noticed about my barbas. when i get them in the wrapping, the collar looks good, not great, but then when i wear it, buttoned and with a tie, they are fantastic.

ITS LIKE MAGIC!!!

Those of you guys who have barba, finamore, borrelli is the fit consistent across? For instance would a 16 slim in barba correspond to the same type of fit in the others? The other brands have some colors I want.

Not really.

ime, barba and borrelli are very similar, tho borrelli almost always has shorter arms, iirc, which is good for me. as to other measurement, they are pretty similar, but not exactly the same. not enough to matter for me. i dont need the fit to be to the quarter inch exact. the main thing for me is chest, waist and across back. in each of those i have a range of about 1 inch +/-. that is good enough for me.

finamore, i find in my size, are almost always at least 1.5 inches +, smaller, across the back, so i have yet to try it. i am afraid it will be too tight. if i size up to get a good body fit, the neck size will be way too big. one time ill give it a try.

also, ian has excellent measurements on all his shirts under the "details" tab. once you learn what range works for you, you are in good shape to buy without trying on.

 

They are really all over the place. In my experience Finamore and Borrelli are similar and Barbas are broader in the shoulders. I'm a small dude with a thick neck so all of my shirts get darts and the sides taken in so I can't comment on the body. You have to watch out for the collar measurements too because some are comically large.

Thanks for the info guys, I do know the finamore have smaller shoulders but the one shirt I tried was very wide then again I'm sure it wasn't a slim fit.

Seems like measurements still vary widely between the slim and extra slim.

sounds like you got it figured out. happy shopping!

 

I got a Finamore shirt once, that was clearly returned previously, that the SPREAD collar points basically went down to my chest. It was like something from Goodfellas. I should have taken a picture of it before I sent it back for future lulz.

I have good sized shoulders and the barba slim fit pretty much spot in, they could be slightly narrower and wouldn't look out of place I don't think. The approach is the make a list of stock numbers and have Ian just find me everything to try on while I sip espresso sup Ian

im sure your shoulders are lovely.

i hate you cali folks, you all have it so easy.
