I recently bought some Borrelli dress shirts and really enthralled by them. To my uneducated eye, I am not really able to discern the various handmade aspects that goes into a shirt like in the collar, buttonhole.
I can sort of tell at the armhole. especially these neopolitan shirts they have the folded over part at the top stitched in by hand.
but how do you tell at the collar and other key areas?
is it by the uneven stitches? if so, even the barba shirt i have (black label, they arent supposed to be hand stitched except for the armhole) have the uneven stitches at the collar area where it attaches so it is confusing me if im looking for the right thing.
the buttonholes. i still cant determine that even on suits. (i see some unevenness (and a little thickness of feel) of the buttonhole on somethings but then someone said that was machinemade, so i was like wha? now it's confusing).
just enjoy your shirt, youll say some of you. yeah, i do. that is why i ask. i have the ones that are on vch.com.
some people here claim they can tell right by looking at the photo. how can you tell?
--
also , is it possible to go over some of the terms like gusset, yoke ( i heard somewhere someone saying separate yoke or something like that) , box pleat? i know what dart is, and so forth.
yes, ive searched here and on google. not a good job on dress shirts.
if anyone can provide any bit of info on any question above it would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
