Shirts are sewn by old Italian seamstresses who sign their names on a booklet. Nice fabrics, thick ass buttons, overpriced at full retail...

7-fold ties are too wide and beefy but the silks are very nice.

The pants are quite slim and well made. Great cashmere and knitwear. I haven't owned any Borrelli suits but what do you want to know about? They make everything from shoes to bathrobes.

For his new job, I'm guessing.


Not that it should matter, anyway.

Expensive... but I'd place the shirts above Zegna... even the Couture line. Love the ties; Rich, vibrant colours; wearing one right now.

As for shirts, some handwork in the collar, cuffs etc. Very thick MOP buttons. Some shirt models are slim-fit (like the ones I have), others aren't. Make sure to check.

Agree on the cashmere and knits. Got an unlined camel cashmere sport jacket at a fraction of the price of an EZ equivalent.
