Neopolitan Shirts on Yoox

So, I stumbled upon what may be a valuable new label for us all.
Pino Borrellio (something like that).
I ordered one of his shirts for $60.00 off of Yoox, and finally got home to check it out.

It is remarkable for the cost, and perhaps the slimmest cut I have ever seen on RTW shirts.

It has all of the hallmarks of a Neopolitan shirt, some nice subtle hand work, very nice fabrics, and very thick mop buttons, handsewn button holes, and a really nice spread collar.
There are not so many available, but for those who are not rail thin, may want to size up 1.
I actually had to remove the darts on the back to get mine to an acceptable fit, but it fits very well.

Also, it has the highest armholes of any RTW shirt I have worn.

So, go get the rest.
Oh, I also found another brand, but I am going to buy them out of them as these fit better than any shirt I have worn!

Cheers

Think of a dress shirt parted into even thirds right down the shirt. Think 3 big vertical stripes, like the flag of Italy... Here's the catch, the order of the colors from left to right go as follows: Pink-->White-->Dark Brown

For a heightened effect, pair with light tan chinos with contrasting darker tan windowpaning. Top it off with coordinating tan shoes, and a bright red bowler hat.

I guess 15.5 to a 16.5 (smallest they have) would be too much?

You drop those sort of hints in here and the Tightfits will have an even more difficult time pulling on their trousers for a while.

This reply is very under-rated.

I have never tried Finamore, but have tried Borrelli and Kiton. I like the Pino better.
So the other brand is Alessandro Gerhardi. I ordered some more today.
It is not super super slim, but pretty slim, very nice fabric, great details, and at $35.00, a steal.
They are Tuscan, not Neopolitan.

Where do you see them for $35? Is there a code that's still working?
