Thanks!
I know that Andrea visits Moscow from time to time. I've spoken with him last time he was in Moscow. I should probably have somewhere his business card.

Reason I do not want to order locally in Moscow is that it is overpriced. MTM for dress shirts starts at somewhere 350 Euro, which is too much... What are current prices for MTM in Naples - from 200 Euro?

If anyone could tell me how to measure this I'd be happy to give you the specs. For now all I can give you is the collar height (4,5 cm), collar points (9 cm) and the spread between collar points (16 cm).
I am in deep love with the old ( no more in production ) wide spread alex collar, what looks wider than yours and do an impressive roll. But points are also 9 cm. I wonder where is the technical difference. Look here Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://www.styleforum.net/showthread...he#post2589085

Around 190, but I doubt he sends them to moscow if he has a own store there.. He would selfdestroy then, right? Let me know if he does.

I don't think that he will be selfdestroying. Moscow is not owned by Finamore itself.
Will either drop e-mail to Andrea or will see him when he visits Moscow next time.

Yes. He works both as Norton's resident shirtmaker and separately, on his own.

The label reads "16, Savile Row" -- this is his address.

Nice Finamores .

I´m stuck in my thoughts about why he refused?

Also would like to know the difference between both collars. Eduardo and Alex

Do you guys spend a lot of time straightening out the shirts before photographing them? Because whenever I get a folded up shirt in the mail, it definitely isn't that perfect.

I spent zero time in straightening out shirts. They look like this coming out of the box. The shirt itself is clipped and folded on some piece of cardboard.
