If you are still curious about the quality of Kabbaz shirts, I reiterate my opinion that based on your posts, it appears that you can only be satisfied with firsthand experience. So if you are still curious to know how good Kabbaz's shirts are, I suggest once again that your order some and see for yourself.

I don't get Charvet at all, but I've only been exposed to their RTW offerings. Great silk knots though. I also don't get RTW Brioni, I find them weak on all counts.

I agree about Lorenzini. Some of the fabrics are nice but the fit is waaaaaaaaay too blousy compared to the Truzzi, Barba and Finamore. I got rid of a few and only kept one BD that I really liked the fabric (I should post a pic - it's very nice) and had it tailored for a trimmer fit. Kiton seem to have the nicest fabrics but they are usually twice the price even at discount.

Where?

I have 3 RLPL shirts which I believe are the Lorenzini made ones. The two dress shirts are cut pretty full but the casual one is very slim and has darts in the back. The fabric is just so so on all 3.

I've had my Lorenzi and T&A RLPLs taken in to some success. I find even Finamore and other notorious "slim" shirts do not have as high armholes or as good a fit as you would get in MTM/bespoke.

Mafoofan,

Where's the Rubinacci jacket from your blog? Did you punk out?

On a lighter note, here are some other articles involving shirt makers from England. I have worn their shirts, I still wear their shirts but the piece is more cultural and style inspired than commercial.

Nice articles. The red on pink and blue does not work for me. I think that Manton hada couple of great articles on pattern matching. You should check them out. They were excellent.

Actually, i did glance at them and I agree they explain a great deal. I could see how a fellow like yourself could enjoy them.

No punking in or out over here. The jacket is in hand, but needs final adjustments and I haven't had time to put up pictures. But all is well.

Still missing the point. I wasn't asking anyone about Kabbaz shirts in this thread. I'd write more to explain what I was talking about, but I'd be repeating myself and, for whatever reason, you are ignoring substantial portions of my posts.
