[1] Estitches what is kop? [2] What is STF? And last question... how much is the retail price for a Borrelli? I think those shirts aren't sell here in Mexico.

STF = ShopTheFinest.com. Great site.

Retail for a Borrelli shirt is north of $300.

winner of the week!!

Thanks guys! I thought they were more expensive. Considering the dollar-peso exchange and that you can't find that brand here, it's like buying Zegna shirts. And I guess Borrelli shirts have a superior construction than Zegna shirts, right?

Maybe this is not the thread to ask... but I entered to the link you guys provided... are you serious with the prices of those shirts?  I'm going to be a well dressed man but poor.

STF has great pricing. enjoy being poooorz!!

Thanks estitches! I mean this is dissapointing, cause I spent a lot of money on Zegna, Thomas Pink and Hugo Boss shirts, that cost me more than those Borrelli's on the site. In fact I just bought my first MTM shirt a fe weeks ago and spent around $250 and I think that shirt doesn't have the best construction. 

Is there a thread in which all the online stores with prices like that are listed?

Thats what makes it worth the money IMHO. damn fine collars.

You are right, I think that the collar is what makes the shirt. 

Now this is a big question... MTM shirt or one of these Borrelli's, Finamore, etc?

I'd add eHaberdasher to the list. Not as big of a selection, but nice stuff and great prices.

VirtualClothesHorse can have good stuff, but it's very hit or miss, and I have admittedly never ordered anything from them.

That would be good. I would like to start it, but since I'm not that well known in the forum, maybe not a lot would answer to the thread.
