Hello all,
I've recently become quite fond of Canali dress shirts. The 17.5 fits me well, and has a sufficiently long sleeve for my arms (a typical problem for OTR shirts for me). All I have to do is have my tailor take in about two inches on each side seam and they fit very well then. Also, my local Nordstrom Rack always has at least several in my size and for only $80-100 each.
That said, the fabrics, while decent IMO, are hardly the best, and of course the shirts have a fused collar. Nevertheless, I still like them.
This forum and AAAC, however, seem to look down a bit on them. I fully admit though that Canali shirts do fall short compared to Brioni, Truzzi, etc.
So, are Canali dress shirts seen as the ugly, embarrassing member of an otherwise beautiful family? Your thoughts?
