Some things are lost in translation.You mean the little booklet that comes with Borrellis is a lie?
As long as it's accurate that only little Italian women make the shirts I'm OK with it.

Would you mind telling us when/where you purchased these shirts? I have yet to see any Borrelli mainline shirt without both MOP and crow's feet stitching.
There are some persistent mythologies in this thread.
First, nothing on a Borrelli (old school), Barba, Finamore, Kiton, etc. shirt is attached "by hand" sewing except for the buttons. For that you would need to see someone like Matuozzo and even with her, you would have to pay dearly and make it clear that is what you want.
Is it possible these "new" Borrelli shirts are counterfeits?
Surprised by this; can't imagine Borrelli is using plastic in their mainline shirts.
+1. The new Borrellis I've handled are definitely MOP (albeit smaller).

Perhaps it's a case of Borrelli lowering their quality for certain markets where they think they can get away with it?
