This Borrelli shirt is made for retailer Eredi Chiarini. The tag reads Eredi Chiarini but it comes with the Borrelli booklet with extra stays and the size/fabric tag is typical Borrelli. Also, the buttons are the trademark thick mother of pearl with crowfoot stitches so it is indeed made by Borrelli. I have come across many Borrelli shirts that only bore the name of the retailer but had never heard of Eredi Chiarini before. It turns out to be a very nice mens' store in Florence (see http://www.eredichiarini.it/) and was recently featured in the Sartorialist's blog http://men.style.com/fashion/blogs/s.../13/index.html Has anyone been to that store? It looks very nice.
At any rate, enough about the store. This shirt is made of a grey flannel-like cotton with a darker grey windowpane pattern. It's cut and styled like a dress shirt with a double-button spread collar and collar stays so you could wear this with a tweed or flannel suit and tie despite the fabric looking less formal. The cut is also pretty slim for a 15.5" neck size. See measurements:
Shoulders: 18.5"
Chest: 21.5" across
Sleeves: 34"
Priced to move at only $85 including shipping in North America (overseas extra). Please email or PM for paypal details. Thanks!
