FS: NWT Isaia shirts. Originally $325

[chorse123]

These are excellent shirts. I had a few of these for sale about a six months ago and I am glad to have more of them. Great MOP buttons, single needle stitching, etc. etc. Original price was $325.

Sorry, all gone.

Could you double check that shirt #1 is 15.5 please. I know the box sometimes says "39" but it's actually a 15.75

Maybe it's just me, but what does the 39 refer to? I always assume the second number is sleeve length, but that sounds quite long (okay very). Thanks!

39 is just the European size i.e. 39 = US 15.5" 41 = US 16" neck...many European makes do not include sleeve lengths absent an L for long.

Oh, cool. Thanks for the info! GL with the shirts, they are very nice!

You are correct! The sales tag said 15.5 (there is no box) but the shirt tag says 15 3/4. Same with the white/grey/red.

Thanks, samblau.

You ain't kiddin. I don't have a ton of experience with high-end RTW shirts but these have gotten a lot of praise from other sellers, and the quality is apparent.

How do Isaia shirts compare, quality-wise, fabric-wise, etc., with the other Neapolitan makers like Barba, Borrelli, Kiton, Attolini, Finamore, etc. Are you getting high yarn-number cottons with them?

 

[edmorel]

I 'll take the first one (15.75).

 

[Holdfast]

That first shirt is gorgeous. The others are very nice as well, but the first one just pops right out.

I think the best comparison is to Barba. I won't lie though, I purchased one on this forum once, wore it, washed it and had to throw it in the garbage immediately as it came out looking like a shag carpet (it was washed in cold water only with other shirts and the others were fine. I was pissed. I have since purchased three and am very happy with them. Fit is slim (42-42.5 chest on the 15.75) but straight so no tapering at the stomach. Fabrics are good as is the quality (except for that first one

)

All of those are very nice. I have looked at these shirts at my local holts but could never pull the trigger at the silly prices they want. These are a steal...shame I'm doing a renovation to my closet

 

[nmoraitis]

To bad none are in 15", regardless, very nice shirts.

 

[chorse123]

I got a few more:

If you see something in the listing above that you like but it's not in your size, and your size is 15.5, 15.75, 16, 16.5, 17, or 17.5, I MAY be able to get it. Sorry I couldn't find any 15.

Also, I think these may have hand stitched buttonholes, if you care about that sort of thing. They look hand sewn to me, but I'm not 100% certain.

 

[darkoak]

what are the sleeve measurements for the 16.5s?

 

[Alphadave]

I eagerly scrolled down for an 18". I guess I should spend the money on a personal trainer instead!

Gorgeous shirts, especially the Blue with dobby/self stripes
