I Apologize LabelGeorge... I never been to Lanvin... because in Paris the same level of high quality bespoke exist just for 30% of the price

I mean Cortot and Lucca !

Anyway Lanvin, Charvet, Arnys and Dunhil are realy high grade quality but you pay the marketing too.....

Best regards

Sorry, no way. I like my Courtot shirts but there's differences in how my Charvet shirts are made. I've heard Courtot is very open to working with you over several shirts in order to get things right, but whatever. Additionally, I've never seen a page of Charvet marketing. Lanvin doesn't advertise its bespoke, although the fawning piece in Men's Vogue a few issues ago amounted to an advertorial. And Courtot's fabric selection is tiny. Very nice people though. Whether one wishes to pay about twice as much for Charvet is one's own decision.

In my case, folded shirts are shirts that have just arrived home from the maker. After that, they are unfolded, hung, worn, sent to the cleaners, and brought back home on hangers forever more.

Might as well repost these here.

My pics so far have been straight from the maker.

Hope to see Bill's shirts in person at some point. They look incredible.

Plan is three cutaways as follows:

solid lilac
forest green check
solid light blue

Cutaway is my favorite as well. Get some texture on the light blue fabric if you can.
