Worn once, washed once, tried on again, decided it never fit me well and put it into the closet in case I lost weight. Lost weight, still doesn't fit me well in the collar/shoulders.
The shirt is made of Albini Bruges, a cotton linen fabric, and was bought from No Man Walks Alone several years ago. It is not the complete handmade line, but still features a fair amount of handwork (gussets, manica mappina, gauntlet, button shanks). Originally paid around 160 on sale with the extra discount when it was bought, I'd like to recoup some of the expenditure since all it does is sit in my closet. It is in very good condition, just wrinkled (but isn't that what you love about linen?). It is missing the plastic collar stays, so please note that.
Measurements:
41 cm shoulder to shoulder, 49 cm pit to pit, 23 cm armscye directly across (its cut at a really big angle for movement, typical of neapolitan shirting), the collar is exactly 38 cm (from end of buttonhole to sewn button on shank, so I wouldn't go for it if you need to wear it with a tie and are bigger than 38 cm).
Yeah, its really small, but having been washed, I think most of the shrinkage would be taken care of.
