Well, I mean their most basic dress white shirt, the one both have always in their catalogue and every seasson they just change a bit the collar. I don´t know how to explain but it´s easy to know if you were in my country... Just the " basic" white dress one.

I hope I have explained well, fat cotton,not very brighty and it doesn´t wrinkles so easy . The threads on the fabrics are very small ,thread same size both ways,and in 90 degress, no oxford then... it might be batista,fat twill or popelin I wonder.

I don´t put any picture as I should focus the fabric maximizing it, instead of the actual shirt that I find impossible to know from a far picture with the shirt hanged up.

Thanks

^The "standard" offerings also vary from country to country, so my advice would be to call your nearest Versace boutique and ask them.

What is offered in the USA is different from Europe and Japan. I've gotten some "standard" items for Versace Japan that nobody in the USA has seen before. It's like that for item, material, finish, price, etc.

So, again, the lack of specificity makes it almost impossible to answer your question.
