BDs are the hardest to get right.
I agree. This shirt was a test one and I have quite a lot of material to make changes.
I have another one with required amendments that you have listed. I haven't worn it yet, so don't know whether changes where correct.

Merolla - pricing, construction, what did you get, options, how to order, fittings, comparison vs other makers, cost, time from order to completion, etc

It has already been discussed. If I'm not mistaken, even in this thread.

Shortly. Pricing is 170-250 EUR depending on fabrics, which range from basic Italian to Bonfanti, Alumo and Riva. Construction is machine made with hand finishing - mine shirts have hand stitched sleeves, yoke, collar, buttonholes and a bit of handwork at other places. For fittings is made a muslin shirt within less than 24 hours and afterwards in 2-4 weeks a shirt is finished. To order you need to visit shop. Merolla doesn't speak English, but his son (?) and his friends do speak English. I am not sure that his son is a frequent guest at the shop, so won't rely on it. Merolla has a computer in the shop, which I used for translation when I could not explain in my mix of Italian-Russian-English.

Thanks!

On the communication front, I wouldn't worry too much. There is always someone who can speak English, be it his client or a fabric merchant...
