This thread has been dormant but my new delivery warrants a resurrection (at least in my opinion).
All are bespoke Camiceria Lombardi in Naples. All are Alumo Cashmerello. There is a fifth shirt but I'm wearing it now.

Camicceria Piccolo (the famous cloth merchant). The shirt arrived today, as promised, 3 weeks from the order. I ordered thorough their website in an standard size, but you can provide your own measurements at the same cost (200€), something I'll do in the future based on this shirt. Cloth is Canclini cotton/linen. Very good finishing (8 hand steps) and very thick MOP buttons. In conclusion, for those who can't reach Naples easily and know their measurements this is a very good option for getting a MTM (not bespoke) shirt at a good price. I totally recommend.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Wow looks awesome. Was actually looking one day to order 3 shirts and they were one I was looking at. So you can provide own measurements?

How’s the shirt holding up? Worth the cost?

Not sure where Skipper Popeline fabric is from...but I found 2 stripes I really like :brick: and your shirt looks great!

Yes, quite detailed measurements for a MTM program.

In fact I sold the shirt to another forum member some time ago, this was my first order and it was RTW (standard measurements) but the cloth was amazing and the stitching (both the machine made and the handmade) very good. Of course you can find better deals if going to Naples directly, but a very good option buying remotely.

Ah was selling the shirt just cause you didn’t end up liking the style or? Seems like a good place to buy remotely.

No, the reason was that the collar and waist were too tight.

Skipper is one of the 170/2 references from Grandi & Rubinelli.

I got some full rolls in offer is someone desires to buy at sale price in cuts.

Forgot to ask, are the fabrics nice? Around the same quality as Thomas Mason? Never heard of G&R so....

Damn, some of your tie fabrics look nice too :brick::brick:

After seeing the @hangerproject video about the Cooper collar, I wanted to get one from my shirtmaker - Hamilton Shirts. This is what they call an "Italian collar".
