Etro shirts, very low quality

[epa]

Etro shirts don't fit me at all. However, I once bought a pair of white pinstripe Etro cotton pants on sale and I just love them: the cloth has a wonderful crisp and light feel to it. I am just a bit confused by the label extending along the zipper: "A place of neverending joy". ???

i never like Etro's funky patterns and overly 'tacky'-rich colors that really dont go well together and in awkward pattern schemes. every shirt or jacket from them looks like it is 'one too many colors' throwing it off. something off about the whole brand. never even laid a finger on it.

I have to disagree somewhat. I picked up an Etro shirt at Barney's sale last winter. It is a deep purple and chocolate brown large-scale plaid that receives a lot of compliments and is pretty subtle (for Etro anyway). Like any designer shirts that are focused on pattern and color (Paul Smith, Pink, etc.), it's all about picking the right item.

As for the quality, the fabric feels nice, but I agree about the buttons.

Yea, it seems as though their shirts are just too iffy and too inconsistent. As far as their other items, such as the suits, sportcoats, and pants, they fit nicely and are made well (Boglioli for the most part).

In the end though, I still wouldn't buy Etro or any other fashion-forward items at MSRP. At sale prices (>50% off), the suits, sportcoats, and pants are worth it, but the shirts have to be of a decent pattern/style and of decent fabric and marked down enough (>65%) to remotely be worth it. Definitely much better seeing the shirt in person to assess the fabric and of course, the fit.

Or would that just instantly depreciate the value of your shirt by 90%?

What if you read my post again or get a neurone implant meanwhile ?
