Luciano Barbera dress shirts

[antirabbit]

What is known about these? I bought one and the fit seems amazing, very high armholes and a rather slim fit. The one thing I really like is the collar, it is a moderate spread but the wings of the collar are just right. Just interested if anyone can comment on the quality?
The fabric is also nice, similar to what I have in my Borelli, the buttons are garbage though.
Oh, I know where to get white and blue ones for about $20.00!

Is somebody supposed to ask you where that is?

I live north of Chicago, Loehmans has them clearanced at 32.99 and they are doing another 40% off of that. They have them in white and blue (a light end on end and a darker end on end).

Do they have any 16.5" sizes left that you noticed? Any pants or suits by Barbera at a good price?

Yep, 5-6 of the shirts. I couldnt find any other pieces besides the shirts and some odd Zegna ties and pants.

Picked up the last 16 1/2 today. For $21, you cannot go wrong. Thanks.

JS, what do you think?
Quality wise? I found the fit awesome, buttons horrible, and fabric and styling very good.
What color did you get?

The only one left was the base blue. I think the fit on Barbera shirts is always good. The stitching and styling was nice, hence the 'crows foot' stitching on the buttons, like all higher-end Napoli shirts. The buttons are double stacked and look very close to MOP's, better than most RLPL dress shirts. The fabric was not bad, but I have had much better on some Barbera shirts retailing similarly. I will tell you, for $21, out the door, one of the best buys around. Thanks for the heads up. Let me know when you see other great deals in Chi. and vice-versa.
