Massimo Cecchini Shirts

[Badrabbit]

Excuse the cross posting with AAAC but noone seemed to have any experience with the company I was looking into over there.

I recently saw some Massimo Cecchini shirts in Filene's in ATL and they appeared to be made of quality fabric and the construction looked good (for $40 a shirt, MSRP was listed as $160). In addition, the shirt was actually made in Italy instead of some 3rd world country. Does anyone have any experience with the brand or the shirts in particular?

Wow. 0-2. I can't believe no one on either board has any experience with these.

Probibly not worth it. no one i know has heard of them and some of these people have been in this business for 50+ years. All i could find is shoes for women

Yeah. Their website only shows the women's shoes.

The fabrics were quite nice and the cut looked good on me but I knew I had never heard of them on here or AAAC so chances were good the construction was nothing to write home about. I must admit that just looking at the construction of a shirt and determining quality is not my forte. I usually judge shirts by how long and well they hold up or I ask the experts on the forums.

Hmmm. I just saw this thread. I have 2 of their shirts that I got from Filenes Bsmnt about a year ago. I actually like the shirts. They are a lot slimmer fitting than most of my store bought shirts and they hold up decently. I am a 16.5 collar size. One issue that I had was that the cleaners cracked the buttons - but then the cleaners have cracked other buttons of my other branded shirts too. Comparison wise - Massimo Cecchini fits me better than the Ct shirts(slim fit).

My 2 cents.

Heh. Thanks. Infrequent lurker here.

Filenes Bsmnt, every so often, has a 20% off one item discount. which I had used for my first shirt test with this brand. I have not seen any 20% discount emails from the Basement so far this year.

Good to know that you've had good luck with them. For $40, I'll probably pick up a couple next time I'm in ATL. I really liked the fabric, patterns, and the cut. I just didn't want to get home and have the shirt fall apart.
