Is that a Shibumi, Braddock?

You should take a closer look, then.
At least on my Ingleses only the sleeve inset is handsewn, the rest is done by machine. Very neatly done, true. But on my Kiton's virtually every seam is done by hand, as well as the buttonholes. Is it worth triple the price? That I cannot tell.
And, as DT says, I rate Attolini shirts even higher. Best RTW shirts, IMO. Charvet, I don't know. From what I've seen, they don't appeal to me at all.

They offer one that has some handwork (Napoli) and one that is entirely sewn by hand (Deluxe). I have a few of the latter and the entire shirt is as neatly done as the sleeve inset on your Napoli version. Probably won't sway your opinion...just FYI.

Is that a Shibumi, Braddock?

Yes, from our advent calendar, limited to 3 pieces.

Tha is one fine SC @Pliny
@UrbanComposition you never fail to deliver a great combo. Too bad we can't see the whole picture and see how it fits all together.
@upr_crust that is a nice (discrete) shade of green for a suit, I like it!

Thanks, didn't know about the different lines. Some Googling shows me an entirely handmade shirt, indeed. Looks gorgeous.

For @TRINI

Fit is impeccable as always, but I'm not feeling this pattern mixing. The stripe, glen plaid, and the medallion in the square are all about the same size and are competing for attention. Also the colors don't go well together in my opinion. It looks like some color correction was done to the photo. The colors appear to be light blue/purple, navy, red/rust, grey and olive. I think a greenish tie or a red/rust pocket square, while a bit matchy, would have looked better.

Thanks, AAS. The glen check is pretty busy, even though it's a big pattern. I usually go with ties that have a lot of solid space to offset. The medallions are spaced close together so that it appears mostly solid.

That said, I'm always looking for an excuse to buy a new tie or pocket square suggestions?

 

[cezinho]

a nice navy solid jacquard tie would have been perfect

New jacket. 100% cashmere from W. Bill

 

[Murlsquirl]

Very nice, Stefan. Who made it?

Thank you! Small "mbt" in London.
Very happy with it. Points to improve would be pattern at patch pockets, but I guess that's not too easy with the windowpane.
