Think they make a nice quality shirt for the money...one of the few places to make shirts in extra long sizes for us long-armed folk. Nice fancies as well. Have a few that have held up.

My only issue with them is the stupid tag they place on the pocket. If you're buying in NYC, they will take it off for you at the store (looks horrible under a suit)...otherwise, find a tailor to remove it. I'm not good with an exacto knife, but if you have a steady hand - give it a shot.

I have a very pale blue Facconable pinpoint oxford shirt, more in the sport/casual side, good quality, the fit is trim but not super trim. Pays to try one on and see for yourself.

I like the shirt a lot, and I would probably buy Facconable shirts again in the future.

I have never bought a Faconnable shirt because of that stupid tag.

well made, sometimes wacky fabrics, MOP buttons, mitered yoke, I do like thier collars. Fit of the body is too full for me.
I get them super cheap so...

I am curious who actually makes them.
