In terms of details, she said that she planned to finish mine in the same way that shirts were done when she was with Anna M.

I think that there are some options with Mina on the degree of substantive or decorative hand finishing one might get in her shirts and on this batch, it apparently will be all the bells and whistles.

I did not discuss cost with her, so I have no idea. More than Dege, I imagine...

I'm having ten or so made in this round.

Great to hear. I was measured last week for shirts when Mina and Dino were in Boston. I'm looking forward to seeing how the trial fitting goes in July.

Merolla can turn around a trial shirt within 24 hours so it's an attractive option if you are staying in Napoli for more than 2 days. Send an email to Francesco in advance to be on the safer side.

What does Merolla charge if you don't mind me asking?

150-250 euros, depending on your fabric choice, and whether or not you are a returning customer.

Thanks. If the shirts are actually as nice as I have heard, then that is a very reasonable price.

Here's what you and B can expect as the finished product (although keep in mind that Mina insisted on 3 fittings, the modifications of which were less than 1/2 CM each go-around). I'm very happy with the finished product and have already re-upped.

About a dozen and a half detail shots here.
