Any Experience with Belisario MTM shirts?

Did anyone ever order a shirt at Belisario?

If so, how did it turn out?
I am intrigued by their customisation possibilities - including a lot of handwork - but wanted to get some information first.

Their website is: http://www.belisariocamicie.it/en

Thanks in advance!

I saw that one to. Of course I saw it a week after I was in that town.

I'm curious if anybody has any info. I'll be back there next month.

OTOH I really don't need shirts right now.

In case you should look into it - keep us posted!

Nobody else has got experience with that shirtmaker?

I am really tempted to try it, still I do not want to waste 200€ on a shirt which I might not be happy with...

I've bought five shirts from Belisario over the last 1,5 years. I must say I'm satisfied with the customer service and the shirts. High armholes isn't something you can choose in the order form but just send an e-mail after the order has been placed and they'll consider it. The seams are sewn with single needle stitching, different details on the shirt can be sewn by hand if you are ready to pay.
Two other shirts I bought here in Frankfurt had to be thrown away after a year, there was a hole on one of the elbows.
Last weekend as I wanted to iron, I noticed that the fabric above the cuff on one of the oldest Belisario shirts was torn. The other shirt I ordered at the same time is still holding up well, although one can see some wear on the edge of the cuff near the button. It's a small sample but for about 100 euros a shirt, I'm more satisfied with Belisario than with the shirts I bought here.
I think Belisario states three weeks delivery time from Italy, that has proved to be accurate the three times I've ordered.

For comparison I can mention that I've bought a Nialma shirt as well. It was delivered within a week I think but the darts on the back were missing. The service was however great, the cost for adding the darts at a local tailor was reimbursed without hassle.
