Off to Florence for this long holiday weekend and thinking of picking up some summer shirts. Never having bought shirts from either Boggi or Brooks Bros., I'm wondering what those of you with experience of both think of quality. Or, what you think of either anyway.

BB shirts fit like a tent off the rack. The Boggi store on Jermyn Street is interesting, yet I'm not too sure as to whether the quality is there.

Boggi is head and shoulders above BB. Pure Italiano/Milano styling. Great looking collars, great price, good material and non-***** body.

Well being the ***** I am (6'3" 270), a Brooks Brothers large fits really, really, well.
The quality is good.
I cant speak for Boggi.

Didn't look at the shirts, but some interesting things in the new Jermyn St. store, such as black and white dogtooth suits in cotton.

However i was disappointed in the range of ties. I was looking for linen ones, but they had none.
