Fabio Finamore Shirts

[kiLLscaLLion]

Anyone have information as to the fit of these shirts? How are they compared to Finamore Napoli?

 

[guster]

+1 ??

 

[antirabbit]

buy one and let us all know?

 

[deaddog]

Anybody ever get any info on fit and quality of the Fabio *****?

Ask Lance. He has a few for sale.

I bought one from Lance recently, and the quality looked about par with other Finamore shirts I've ordered from him. Can't comment on fit as I didn't try it on. Ended up sending it back because it doesn't have removable collar stays-- something you might want to consider before ordering if that would bother you as much as it does me.

Ah, thanks for pointing that out about the collar stays. I was about to buy one of those shirts, but you've saved me from having to return it.

Given that the "usual" Finamore shirts are made by Andrea Finamore, I cannot help but wonder whether there is any connection at all between the "usual" Finamore and Fabio Finamore.

I was a bit interested in Lance's stock, too, but I really don't like sewn in collar stays as it removes the opportunity to fiddle around with the stays to get the ideal collar roll...

I've been buying shirts without collar stays for softer collar. I like that look.

Okay, maybe I'm being an idiot, but do the Fabio Finamore shirts lack any collar stays or do they have collar stays that are not removable (sewn in).

The one I received had collar stays, but sewn in, so not removable.

Bought one from Lance as well, non-removable collar stays begin to look quite noticable if you have your shirts laundered and pressed professionally.

Reads as if Fabio Finamore is a brand of a separate company rather than a diffusion line of Andrea's...

i got a white shirt from lance, hopefully it will be good under a suit

 

[justsayno]

fast shipping from lance. kudos.
but the shirt ... whoah.

non removable collar stay ... ok
single yoke ... in a $300 MSRP shirt?
plastic buttons ... in a 300 MSRP shirt?

i'm not sure if i'll keep the shirt ...

Single yoke is normal in high-end Italian RTW shirts. As I understand it, split yokes are a bit of a marketing gimmick in RTW, one the English swear by. Plastic buttons, on the other hand, well... not so impressive. How's the fit?
