Yep, I do RTW also. That is one of the RTW ones. @banis: I'm hoping a lot more people will like it, considering the price's like... 1/3rd of Anna Matuozzo's bespoke.

Will you disclose any more details?
Or time has not yet come to reveal your goods?

I can tell you that our shirts feature a lot of handwork. It's on the yoke's front and back seams, inside collar band, front placket (French front) and armhole seams. All button holes and gussets are hand sewn. The hem's hand-rolled. Hand sewn bar tack on sleeve placket too. Sleeve setting's pitched forward like that of a jacket. In terms of customization there's everything you'll find in bespoke. The only thing that I'm not offering is the shirring seen on AM's and Kiton's shirts.

Sounds promising. Please let us know when you decide to launch your new venture.

Looks pretty nice I think - will snap a pic tomorrow and post it up. Its definitely wider than a regular spread, but not to the degree of a full cutaway. Also relatively high (1.75" on the back).

That Brown and Blue stripe is nice...in fact, I have a few of my winter grey flannel lined with it.

Nice collar, I like the striped blue one, how much are those with your permission and differences with a neapolitan brand ?

Thanks. Geneva starts around ~$250 and goes up from there.

Didn't understand the second-half of your question - which Neapolitan brand?

Yes - something just a little bit off the beaten path.
