Can't imagine I can find a better price/quality ratio anywhere, especially as they included a coupon for 20% off my next order.

One piece of feedback for the website: it would be nice if I could create a shirt and save it to a bin in my profile for later. As it stands it only stays as long as I stay logged in.
Not sure what you mean, I just logged out and in and the test shirt I had stayed in my cart.

But yes, agreed with the above statement! I have an Eton shirt that costs more and is not as good as this. Giza 45 <3 My only complaint is that there are too many options haha! 4187 Absurd!

Glad you like the shirt, fit and fabric!
May I suggest you log in to Apposta, create your shirt, then leave in the basket. It will be there as long as you need it to. No doubt your first shirt has inspired your creativity, and the 20% coupon will allow you to further flex your shirting vision.
Enjoy your shirts!

Package arrived today. The good:

View attachment 1392807

The shirt. They nailed my fit. I believe this is the best-fitting shirt I own, on the first try.

The not so good: Quarantine hair and crisis beard. Also, the other shirt from my order is missing. I think this is probably due to my waffling with the fabric after the order went through. I suspect when Alessia edited it, she put through the order with just the changed shirt, and the other one got lost in the shuffle. Fortunately the summery linen arrived and my dress shirt, which I am in no hurry to have, is the one delayed.

Oh, and for the purists, after years of being told to tuck my shirt in at prep school, my little rebellion is never tucking in a shirt unnecessarily.

I want to clarify this. I talked to Alessia today, and apparently due to issues in the supply chain they finished my shirts at different times. Rather than make me wait, they decided to ship each shirt individually, at an additional cost to themselves. Really unnecessary but a generous touch nonetheless

My second Apposta shirt, a linen seersucker. Beautiful fabric.

One thing can be improved is the pattern matching :

I really like the way the lines are dyed on this fabric, it has almost an adire type texture. I was looking at the white with tri-colour stripes. Just wish the 3rd colour was yellow instead of beige, it just doesn't mesh with bright red and blue.

Also was building a shirt in the cart for my 2nd order and someone sniped the last of my fabric before I pulled the trigger :brick:What kind animal buys a winter shirt in May

@Grace@Apposta can you check if Alessia has received my forwarded mail from Caroline? I want to check some measurement adjustments to order some more shirts :)

My Giza 45 shirt got to me today, it's got a beautiful hand, but it's...a little sheer. I'm not exactly sure how to wear it appropriately, originally intended it for a wedding for which I'm in the party, but I don't know if the groom would appreciate my show-stealing nipples.
