Mimmo Siviglia Shirts?

What are people's opinion on Mimmo Siviglia's shirts (offered by Raphael in NYC)? They are fairly expensive ($450, min. order of 4), but he is one of the very few shirtmakers that actually offers a bespoke product - muslin fittings and all.

Does the cost justify the product, or would I be better served spending elsewhere? I have full faith in Raphael's measuring and fitting capabilities but am more concerned with the quality of the product offered.

Anyone have personal experience? What is the min. after the first four?

I can not tell you if the "cost justifies the product".

I can tell you the Siviglia shirt is top rate; i.e., the collar design, the construction of the collar and cuff, coupled with a great fit, make this a truly beautiful product.

They also offer fabrics from Riva and other mills that are not available from the usual sources in the U.S.

Mimmo used to be based in Rome, right? When did he move to NYC?
I think his services sound top-notch

Any idea on price, first order min, second order min., turnaround time?
